Pakistan has been able to win the second match pretty easily. The first match was not played. The third match is going to be played tonight. I hope to see another great performance from Pakistan.
Many of us were very excited to see Mohammad Amir in the Pakistan team as he joined the national team after a long time and played against New Zealand.We all may have observed that the first T20I between New Zealand and Pakistan was abandoned due to rain but in the second T20I, New Zealand team batsmen could not stand up to Pakistan's bowlers.Mohammad Amir gave an impeccable bowling performance in that second T20I but suddenly he was dropped in the third T20I. The reason why he was dropped for the third T20 match against New Zealand is still unknown to us. The match in which Md Amir was dropped was Pakistan's seven-wicket loss to New Zealand which was not at all expected by the Pakistan team.

As I received information, I like to share it with you and for sure it is true because I received it from ESPNcricinfo where I saw that Rohit Sharma appealed for Pakistan vs India test match and when it was out then Australia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, England are coming in the row and appeal for hosting this match because as you all know, the hype of this match is not normal.
I also think that it must happen because test cricket also exists and we are not able to see the Pakistan vs India matches in test cricket for years now. The last bilateral series between these two teams was many years back in 2012/13. Also, we are seeing Pakistan vs India ODI matches only just at World Cups or Asia Cups.

Does anyone know why did Mohammed Amir not play this match?
If Mohammed Amir was there for Pakistan, I think it was actually going to be easy for them.
But anyway I think Mohammed Amir is pretty old at this point and does deserve some rest to be honest. It is also probably not a good idea to play every match with him, especially before the World Cup. And yes I also remember Babar Azam saying that as well.

Selecting the right squad for the teams is very important specially when the T20 World Cup is just around the corner and the teams should focus on playing with those players whom they want to think should be playing the T20 World Cup from their teams.
Also this IPL season is very important for India because now India has no international match until 5 June and on 5 June, there is the match of World Cup that is why, the squad that would be announced, they have to pick from the IPL and of course those would be pick who are performing well till now.
By the way, I think that Muhammad Siraj may not be going to play this World Cup because his performance is so poor and also as I said only those player would be going for the World Cup squad who are playing well, but now he is such a good player that is why for sure he would be go but maybe on reserves.

The New Zealand team still has 8-8 wickets. Still need 104 runs from 66 balls. It is not a run in the T20 realm. For Pakistan, SShadab Khan's innings of 41 off 20 balls with a strike rate of around 205 was a sight to behold. New Zealand still needs 93 runs from 55 balls. Maybe very soon New Zealand will reach the peak of victory.
It was only a disappointment for the Pakistan cricket team to lose against the New Zealand team at the Rawalpindi Stadium. However the good thing for the Pakistan team is that the the next match of this series is too long in distance after the break of 4 days, we will see them right back at Gaddafi Stadium once again in front of each other and playing against each other on April 25th. By that time, the Pakistan players would hopefully forget the humiliating defeat.
I think that in the Gaddafi Stadium, Imad Wasim and Zaman Khan could be played once again. Honestly, I am very excited to see Imad Wasikm because he played his last match under Babar’s captaincy and in Gaddafi Stadium and also he played his last match against New Zealand while Zaman Khan also waiting to be played against New Zealand in this series. Remember as Babar Azam said everyone gets a chance to be play in this series, in different combinations, so this will be a time to try another combination.

So yes I think they are trying out different combinations to see which is going to work the best for them.
But isn’t this a wrong time to do that?
It would have been great if they had done this before. I hope this works for them.

Babar Azam and Rizwan both need to accelerate there scoring rate. Look at scoring rate of Rizwan in 3rd T20, 21 runs on 20 balls while Babar Azam scored 37 runs on 29 balls. If both these players have gone with good scoring rate then Pakistan might have scored 200 runs. In presence of Shadab it's difficult to play with second all rounder i.e. Imad Wasim.
In coming two matches Pakistan need to show some aggressive approach otherwise this New Zealand team is talented enough to beat Pakistan and that will be worrying sign for Pakistan if it happens.
The New Zealand team still has 8-8 wickets. Still need 104 runs from 66 balls. It is not a run in the T20 realm. For Pakistan, SShadab Khan's innings of 41 off 20 balls with a strike rate of around 205 was a sight to behold. New Zealand still needs 93 runs from 55 balls. Maybe very soon New Zealand will reach the peak of victory.
A target of 178 runs given by Pakistan is not a small target in a T20 match. Meanwhile, Pakistan's opponents New Zealand have scored 102 runs in 12 overs and they have lost only two wickets so far. So they still have 8 wickets and 8 overs to collect 78 runs. I think New Zealand will be able to do it. Because New Zealand has a history of playing good cricket. Although Pakistan is not a bad team and still Pakistan have enough chances to prevent New Zealand from winning the match by bowling well. So let's see which team can win the match from these two good teams in the endThe New Zealand team still has 8-8 wickets. Still need 104 runs from 66 balls. It is not a run in the T20 realm.

Pakistan Vs NewZealand
Pakistan has won the 2nd T20 while in the first T20, the play was not possible due to rain. However, there is a lot of controversy in this series that NZ is playing with its B team because the main players do not want to play for the nation but for the leagues like IPL.
Now, I think that in the next match, Babar Azam changed the playing 11 and for sure he did because, in the press conference before the first match of this series, he said that in this series, you would see many combinations in different matches.
In yesterday's match, we saw the old players form, now Babar Azam gave a chance to play to new players as Zaman Khan, Imad Wasim, Abbas Afridi, Fakhar Zaman, Usman Khan and the last Azam Khan. By the way, I have seen in social media that Azam Khan got a injury and he was out from this series. Even then Pakistan team should try out thier younger players to test their talent too before the world cup but they should not lose a match in this process.

Yesterday when Saim Ayub was out then Babar and Rizwan came to bat and we have seen some time for their partnership where they did not do too much score as a partnership because Babar Azam was out early in yesterday’s match.
After him, Rizwan took the team to the win, and in which we had also seen Usman Khan to bat for Pakistan for the first time but he didn’t play well yesterday. I think if he gets one more chance then he will perform well. I hope that he will perform well in the upcoming matches and be a player who be a part of T20 World Cup 2024 from the Pakistan side.
It's good to see that Pakistan is performing well. And my eyes were really feeling like they have healed from an operation just by watching Mohammed Amir bowl for Pakistan again. That guy is definitely the best find for Pakistan after Shoaib Akhtar. If he did not have such controversies in his carrier, I believe his carrier could have been up there with one of the best bowlers in the whole world ever. It feels like Pakistan is healing from its problems right now. And in the upcoming World Cup, his swing is also going to be very useful for Pakistan.
Pakistan has been able to win the second match pretty easily. The first match was not played. The third match is going to be played tonight. I hope to see another great performance from Pakistan.

Can you imagine a player from Ireland played well more than our king Virat Kohli?
Records are meant to be broken even by the small teams so do not take any team small whether it is players from Ireland or Nepal
Yesterday a player of the Nepal team hit 6 sixes in an over back-to-back. The first ball of the over went some forwards from the batsman's foot then the batsman hit it on the leg side which caused of six.
In the second ball, the ball went outside and the batsmen hit the six again on the offside. The batsmen tried to hit Dhoni’s helicopter shot but that happened in the opposite which was also good because they picked up six runs.
The third ball was also on outside off but this time the batsmen wanted to hit on the leg side and as they wanted, they did. The ball went too up high and went to the direct six. The first three sixes were such different sixes for him because, at this time the Qatar bowler and Nepal players and those who were seeing the match live also thought was the same and that was right.
I don't know how many of you have read this news or how many of you know about it or how you feel about this news but I really like this news. I am a Bangladeshi and I am certainly proud to be a cricket lover as an umpire from my country has been included in ICC's Elite Panel umpire list for the first time.
Sharfuddoula is the first Bangladeshi umpire to achieve this honour. There are many umpires in the ICC but a certain amount of skilled umpires can make it to the Elite Panel where Sharfuddoula has made it. Many congratulations to Brother Sharfuddoula as he has brought success and fame to the country along with his own success.

Afghan Cricket Association has taken some drastic steps it seem. They have released a number of their most experienced players from the central contracts, including Shapoor Zadran, Dawlat Zadran, Samiullah Shinwari, Mohammad Shahzad and Aftab Alam. Some of them have been representing Afghanistan for close to 2 decades. Mohammad Nabi is the only one from the old gang, who still has a contract with the ACA. It maybe good news as well, as more younger players will be getting the contracts.

Babar Azam has given back the captaincy of white ball format though it's not clear that he is captain of ODI format also. He was removed from captaincy of all formats last year and Shan Masood was given captaincy of test and Afridi take over as T20I captain while no captain was named for ODI format. Afridi captaincy skills were under questioned as Pakistan lost T20 series to NZ 4-1 and in PSL Lahore Qalandars were also able to win only one match.

Babar Azam was again appointed the captain of the Pakistan team of white-ball cricket but when he met with the chairman of PCB then he told to them that I wanted the captaincy of the red ball also but at this time, it was not announced.
Babar Azam became the first Pakistani player who led Pakistan to three times of T20 World Cups as captain. I think that he will do the captaincy of Test cricket, and again become a Pakistani player who is the captain of all formats. Another time, Babar Azam is loading in a green jersey as captain. He will lead Pakistan at the World Cup of 2024.

There is some bad news for the ICC. They were ecstatic, after Disney Star won the bidding rights for the 2024-27 media rights cycle for a massive amount of $3.04 billion. Now all of this is in doubt, because of two developements. First of all, Zee has informed Disney that they won't honor their agreement with them:

From India, the greatest player of his era Mohammad Azharuddin. What a player he was,
The biggest name of the history of cricket has been coming to an end after having the wonderful era. The player who broke the record of all the players is not good situation himself. The player who is still in form and a form that we cannot have seen by any player, who is the number 1 name of ODI, T20 and Test cricket. There is not any format where he was not the king of that format.
A player who didn’t need to play these formats, formats need that player Virat Kohli, he didn’t retirement but now Cric buzz, Cric info, Sports.com has been announced these lines that he will not be a part of 2024 World Cup and the reason that BCCI gave the tournament is going to be hosted at West Indies and America and those countries pitches are slow which cause that they needed very ultimately good batsmen to make most runs but I don’t think there is anyone who can play fast than Kohli. Don't know whats makes ICC think that Virat won't be good at those pitches
I cannot explain what I read about Viral Kohli. The wonderful player of all time who has wonderful performances in all matches who played his best in every match, who played like everyone wanted to play him and his ranking in T20 goes to 48. Yes, his name is Virat Kohli. This is standard of him now in 2024. At number 44, there is a player from Ireland with the name of Paul Stirling.
Can you imagine a player from Ireland played well more than our king Virat Kohli? It cannot be understood or expected easily because a king of cricket goes to less than any rank of 20
