What's wrong with Pakistan balling why they can't take any wicket ?  No a single ballers is stopping Newzealand from scoring runs .
On other hand Newzealand is batting brilliantly they are close to touching 300 runs and they still have 7 overs left so this time they are definitely going to score 350 .

Before criticizing the Pakistan bowling, please check why NZ was not able to take wickets either  Cheesy  Pakistan still managed to take 5 of the New Zealand wickets while NZ only took 3 Pakistan's wckets.  Smiley

Yes that's right. If we compare only this match so the bowling of the Pakistan was better than the New Zealand.

And overall performance Pakistan again impressed me. New Zealand made good score but Pakistan batting was really good. And Fakhar Zaman played amazingly. Surprised everyone. And he has made 3000 runs in total too.
Overall Pakistan surprised everyone with their responsible batting , fakahar zaman was mind-blowing his 180 runs were a great contribution in Pakistan victory .
Newzealand gave an amazing target but their balling was weak which lead to Pakistan winning this match .

New Zealand gave a huge run target to Pakistan.  So even if Pakistan plays well, it is still a big challenge for them. Pakistan scored 136 runs in 21 overs they need 201 runs in 29 overs it is very difficult to do. Fakhar Zaman is still playing very well he has hit 13 fours and 2 sixes in 67 balls.  He scored 86 runs alone and is still playing. And good things are likely to be done by him.  Whether Pakistan can win this match is doubtful but they will also score a good score no doubt

Pakistan need 39 runs in 42 balls and this very much tells the story of the match. With only three wickets down and Fakhar Zaman and Rizwan batting on 163 and 36 runs its very easy for Pakistan to win this game. Pakistan after winning first 2 T20I started taking things easy, new Zealand took advantage of that and draw the series. Even if Pakistan win today's game then they have to keep in mind what happened in T20 series. Still 3 more ODIs to come after that.
Pakistan showed a tough game.  Winning the match by crossing the target of 336 runs was not an easy task but Pakistan did it. They scored 337 runs in 48.2 overs and won the match. This performance of Pakistan is really commendable. Pakistan like India have improved themselves a lot in the game. Pakistan did not perform so well. the first DOI match was also played by Pakistan in 48.3 overs but the target for the day was 288 runs.  Pakistan won the match by 291 runs that day

Tom Latham was unlucky to miss his hundred by 2 runs but his knock has made a valuable contribution to New Zealand total. 336 will really test Pakistan batting lineup capability. We saw Pakistan chasing 349 against Australia last year when they visited Pakistan last year. New Zealand have done the home work after losing first ODI, they figured out that to win an ODI batting first you must give a target of oved 300 runs. That's exactly what they have done today.
Even though Tom Latham missed his century, he along with Daryl Mitchell took New Zealand to a good total but with the way the pitch is behaving without much assistance to the bowlers it is going to be difficult to defend as Pakistan could chase the total as they already had a good start and if New Zealand is not able to pick wickets and put pressure on Pakistan, they will be able to chase them.

Even though the wicket was batting friendly but we usually see teams collapsing even on a batting wicket when chasing big scores. Hats off to Pakistan batsmens, who took the responsibility on their shoulders and made sure Pakistan win this match. This is one of the best innings I saw from Fakhar Zaman lately.

Even after giving a huge target of 337 runs, the New Zealand team could not win. Even Pakistan won this match quite easily. The team reached the target of victory in 48.2 overs.
Like the first match, today's match was won by the Pakistan team due to the excellent performance of Fakhar, Babar, and Rizwan. Fakhar Zaman scored an unbeaten 180. He scored 180 runs off just 144 balls. Also, Babar Azam scored 65 and Rizwan scored 54 runs. If these three batsmen of Pakistan are in form and play well, they are capable of scoring big against any team.

Patch was totally in favor of batsmen and bowlers not found any pace and swing in this match. New Zealand batsmen especially Mitchel and Letham batted brilliantly and 337 is very good score to defend in ODI cricket but Fakhar Zaman blow make it easy for Pak to win. Haris Rauf is the bowler we seen picked up some wickets

Pakistan now need 1 more match to win to win this ODI series and New Zealand have to win three of three which is looking so difficult. Next match will be played in Karachi. New Zealand should work on theirs bowling and also strategy to pickup early wicket if they want to win next match.

Pakistan win by 7 wickets 2nd ODI against New Zealand. what an incredible performance of Fakhar Zaman's brilliant innings of 180 runs was the highlight of the match and he received great support from Babar Azam 65 runs and Rizwan who both scored fifty runs. Chasing down a target of 337 runs is no easy feat but Pakistan showed great determination and skill to secure a comfortable 7 wicket victory and lead the series by 2-0. This win will give them a huge boost of confidence and momentum heading into the rest of the series. Congratulations to Pakistan on a well deserved win
This is second highest run chase ever in ODI by Pakistan and credit for this historic run chase goes to Fakhar Zaman for his outstanding 188 on just 144 balls. Since the pitch is entirely made for Batsmen, bowlers of both sides were expensive today. Pakistan chased 336 runs in 49th over with 10 balls remaining. Next 3 ODIs are in Karachi so we may see some competitive matches there if pitch is for both batsmen and blowers.
Looking upon the target for Pakistan I felt this to be an easy win for New Zealand. Once again Pakistan proved their ability and now the pressure is high upon the New Zealand team. Losing a match will lead to losing the series. After Babar Azam and Rizwan, now Fakhar Zaman have turned more responsible in recent matches and the team can be seen depending on his performance. Anyhow a big win for Pakistan and a big disappointment for New Zealand.

After the end of the first ODI match between Pakistan and New Zealand, as I said that if New Zealand had scored a few more runs in the first innings, then in the second innings, Pakistan would have batted according to New Zealand's first innings target. Pakistan did the same in the second ODI match. In the first innings, New Zealand managed to score 336 runs in 50 overs. Pakistan's batsmen were batting in a very fluent manner as they set the target of 337 runs. 
The way Pakistan were batting, the target seemed too small for them. However, the New Zealand score in the first innings may have been a bit higher for Pakistani fans after the match ended as Fakhar Zaman was unbeaten on 180 in the second ODI, missing out on a double century by just twenty runs. Pakistan's second ODI match was excellent. 

Pakistan won the match by seven wickets. The hosts Pakistan lead 2-0 in the five-match ODI series.

In Search of Incredible
What an amazing year by Fakhar Zaman so far! He hit another magnificent century today. He is the only genuine match winner in the Pakistani Team and he has once again proven why he is such an important player for the team.
Fakhar Zaman has scored 55% of the runs today to chase the big target. 3 consecutive ODI centuries from him against New Zealand. I have enjoyed his batting today, he has shown responsibilities without playing in the aggressive mode. Pakistan has strong batting lineup now. They have won the match very comfortably. Fakhar Zaman deserves all the credits as he scored 180 runs.

In the 2nd ODI match of New Zealand tour of Pakistan today
newZealand set a magnificent target of 336 runs, due to back to back hundreds of in-form boy D.mitchell they got confident which help to score such a big. Haris Rauf the nightmare newZealand again took 4 wicket and hold them to not score above 350. While from the other side pakistan opener fakhar zaman brutally smashed Thier bowling lineup and almost secured the match by scoring 150+ while baber help him little during chase but not long. Now currently Rizwan and Fakher are in the crease full confidence and the required is too short soon they will secured the second ODI of this series too

Pakistan after winning first 2 T20I started taking things easy, new Zealand took advantage of that and draw the series. Even if Pakistan win today's game then they have to keep in mind what happened in T20 series. Still 3 more ODIs to come after that.

Pakistan already scored 104 runs in 17 overs and they need 233 in 33 overs to win the game. To win this game New Zealand need wikcets quickly. Pakistan got a good opening start of 66 runs before Imam got out on 24 runs. Fakhar and Babr have added 41 runs together. If Babar and fakhar remain there 25th or 30th over then things will get tougher for new zealand. Still plenty of game left and game can move towards any team.

Congratulations to Fakhar Zaman on becoming Pakistan's fastest player to score 3000 runs in ODIs, that's quite an impressive result! Both Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam batted brilliantly against the New Zealand lowers. The way Pakistan batted, they'll be chased 337 very comfortably.

In the 2nd ODI match of New Zealand tour of Pakistan today, New Zealand batted first and set a target of 336 runs. I think the runs that New Zealand scored were not the right runs to win. But if New Zealand can do well in the bowling line, then maybe New Zealand team will win.  There will be big chances. I think the batsmen of Pakistan team will perform very well and win the match.
New Zealand managed to score much better runs in the second match than the first match of this ODI series. In the 2nd ODI match New Zealand scored 336 runs which is a good score for an ODI match but not a big hurdle for Pakistan. In this match, Pakistan is conducting a very responsible batting. They are scoring more runs than the required run rate. Pakistan have managed to score 48 runs in 6.3 overs so far. As Pakistan have not lost any wickets yet, they will have a huge advantage in this match.

Wow, the New Zealand batsmen were outstanding in the 2nd ODI against Pakistan and Posting a total of 336-5 in 50 overs is no mean feat credit must be given to Mitchell for their brilliant hundreds of 129 runs inning and Latham for 98 runs. It seems like Pakistan's decision to bowl first didn't quite pay off this time around the Kiwi batsmen were simply too good. But Harris Rouf pick up 4 wickets and Naeem Shah did well to pick up 1 wicket and limit the damage to some extent. Overall it promises to be an exciting chase for Pakistan and we can expect some fireworks from their batsmen as they try to chase down this challenging target of 237 runs in 50 overs.
