Today New Zealand batted well and scored 299 which is good total to defend. Will Young was in good touch and made 89. unfortunately he was out while eleven runs short for his third ton in ODI. Lithum also made fifty but other failed to make big score. NZ middle orders performance are not good and they should improve for next series.

Pakistan batting today totally failed and all big scorers Rizwan, Babar, Fakhar went to pavilion earlier and now the real test for Iftikhar and Shadab, how they handle this match. I think NZ will win this Match with 70-100 margin. Pakistan has still 6 wickets remaining but NZ  today bowling is good enough to restrict them under 220.
What a balling performance by Newzealand they crushed all Pakistan main batting lineup and now Pakistan is in tough position. Honestly now Pakistan cannot win today's match as target is good and they have less batsman left .

The 5th ODI match of New Zealand tour of Pakistan has started today. New Zealand batted first and set a target of 299 runs. Now Pakistan came out to bat. But Pakistan team batsmen are under a lot of pressure. Pakistan has lost 4 wickets so far.  If Pakistan can keep playing now then maybe Pakistan team will have a big chance to win this match.

Pakistan cricket team has become deadly in both batting and bowling. In every match of this series, Pakistan cricket team is giving mesmerizing game. Pakistani cricket team's performance in ODI series has made history in the world. The New Zealand cricket team has come under criticism after losing four consecutive matches against the Pakistan cricket team. The New Zealand cricket team could not perform well even in a single match despite trying hundreds of times. This is a big failure for the New Zealand team
Pakistan chances of securing the series with a 5-0 win look promising as they have already won the first four matches. It's great to see Shahdab Khan back in the playing eleven as his presence will add depth to Pakistan's bowling attack. New Zealand winning the toss and electing to bat first may prove to be an advantage for Pakistan, as they have a strong bowling attack that can restrict the Kiwis to a low total. Pakistan will have to maintain their focus and continue playing with the same intensity to stay on top of the ICC ODI rankings. Lets hope for another impressive performance by Pakistan today. Current Score of New Zealand is 31 runs in lost of 1 wicket in 7.1 Overs
Cricket is a game full of surprises thus it is impossible to know for sure until the very last ball is bowled. New Zealand got off to a good start,l but Pakistan's bowling attack was just too strong for them. New Zealand has scored 293 runs in 48.3 overs while losing 8 wickets. It looks possible that New Zealand won't reach their predicted total of 310 runs in 50 overs. Pakistan is close to completing a 5-0 whitewash of the Kiwis because to their excellent bowling and fielding performances in this series. However, it is crucial for Pakistan to maintain their level of effort till the game is over and avoid becoming complacent. Pakistan may easily win this Match and the series if they do so.
It's a disappointing result for New Zealand as they fell short of their target. So, the expected target of 330 runs or more was not achieved. Pakistan's death bowling was simply outstanding, which led to New Zealand getting all out on 299. Pakistan has a target of 300 runs to get a clean sweep of the series with a 5-0. It's going to be an exciting chase and we wish the Babar XI the best of luck! This match marks Pakistan skipper Babar Azam's 100th ODI and he's wearing a special t-shirt for this milestone. Host Pakistan look to maintain their top position in the ODI rankings, while New Zealand will be aiming to secure a consolation victory.
New Zealand has given a fairly good target to Pakistan. But Pakistan have lost two wickets scoring 40 runs, so I think Pakistan will have some problem in the batting line-up which will make New Zealand more likely to secure victory. Also, it must be said that the New Zealand bowlers are bowling brilliantly.

For some reason, I really think that New Zealand honestly does not care about losing the series. But there should certainly at least try to avoid the Whitewash.
Strange thinking is that when a team is not interested in winning the series why would they be interested to avoid a whitewash ? Rather if a team has such an approach they should not tour for the series and bring a bad name to their country.

Now coming to today's final match, New Zealand have won the toss and they have decided to bat first. They have scored almost 72 runs in the first 15 overs and lost only one wicket. Will Young is playing at 42 and these young batsmen have survived the early spell from Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf. Mohammad Wasim too one wicket though.

I think NZ team has started well in this final match but it's too early to say if they will be able to win today or not ?

I feel like New Zealand can actually show some problems which led them to be unable to win the series. But whenever it is a whitewash it certainly does look very bad for any team. And the way New Zealand is playing today it certainly looks like they are very interested in avoiding the whitewash.

Currently New Zealand 249 from 42.3 overs. New Zealand still have five wickets in hand. Quite a consistent performance from almost everyone in the New Zealand team so far. But we know that Pakistan can change down very big totals. So, I hope New Zealand will be able to accelerate towards the end.

NZ intention now is just to finish this series and fly back home. After 33 over NZ are 173/3 and there CRR is 5.24. With this CRR NZ is expected to give a target of around 300 and it will test Pakistani batting lineup. Mark Chapman is looking dangerous as he has scored 36 runs on just 22 balls. Pakistan need to get Mark Chapman out as quickly as possible otherwise things may get out of control.

You cannot say Newzealand is not trying to win they tried to win in almost all the matches and they gave a good decent competition to Pakistan.  Pakistan is better as compared to them as they are playing with their new players and when situation like this happens stronger teams win always.
Now the question is can Newzealand avoid whitewash today?

Bilateral series does not give good money as IPL does and that is the primary reason why big players prefer IPL over national duty. NZC does not have any issues as in the end, ODIWC matters. It does not matter if it's a regular team or not as the NZ team management is testing new players who will be part of the world cup team. As of now with their current performance, it might be hard for the selectors to decide.

Intention clearly was to play IPL not to try new players. IPL gives too much money not only to players but to boards also. In the end its a win-win situation for everyone.
Meanwhile 5th and final ODI is underway. NZ after winning the toss decided to bat first and they playing watchfully today. After 15 overs NZ are 72/1, Tom Blundell was the only wicket fell so far. Looks like NZ are trying to save wickets to score runs towards the end of innings.

Also I am not sure whether NZC will be thinking about that drastic performance from there team or they are just happy that since they are getting good money from IPL so no worries of 5-0. NZ dont even have there coach here they have hired Saqlain Mushtaq as interim coach for Pakistan tour. While Pakistan must not be too excited about this win as this is not a regular NZ team which will play the ODI world cup.

I believe it is a big achievement for Pakistan to perform so well. But at the same time, New Zealand is going to think that they did not have the full strength available in this tour. That's why they lost so badly. Now of course they are going to give importance to the world cup. IPL is not anywhere near as important as the world cup. New Zealand is just probably testing out different things right now.

Pakistan is successful to use the opportunity against New Zealand in the ODI series because all of us know that the key players are not participated in the NZ squad. With their win of the 5-match long series, positive criticism has started about them in the cricket world. If they manage to beat New Zealand 5-0 today, they will be able to strengthen that position. However, Pakistan's closest rivals will certainly hope for an improvement in this situation. After end of this series, we can measure Pakistan's position by the upcoming ODI series. It will be easy to understand how much time they will be stay in that position.

NZ were able to perform well in T20 series where they able to draw the series but nothing has gone in NZ favor so far. Pakistan have awful home series record during last one year and its good that they finally have some victory.

It was unimaginable that Pakistan would perform so well in this series. Pakistan has batted exceptionally well in this series. I would say that the Pakistan team won 4 matches due to the great performance of the batsmen. Apart from Babar Azam and Rizwan, other Pakistani batsmen have returned to form. Almost every batsman has been able to play well. And now the Pakistan team has come to number 1 ranking in ODI. If the batsmen can continue this form then Pakistan will definitely fight for the title in the upcoming ODI World Cup.

Bowling of Pakistan was already good and we have seen very tight bowling in t20 world cup. There was big problem in batting for Pakistan and now they improved their batting also. Every batsmen are looking in good foam especially Fakhar Zaman, Rizwan and Babar azam. A new young star salman is very good all-rounder. he impressed me with both balling and bating while Iftikhar blow are available every time when need. This team can chase any target and can defeat any team.

Pakistan's highest success in ODI cricket

After winning the fourth ODI match against New Zealand, Pakistan secured the number one position in the points table in ODI cricket for the first time. Pakistan has never been able to reach number one in the points table in ODI cricket before but after winning four ODI matches in a row in New Zealand vs Pakistan ODI series, Pakistan managed to achieve this huge feat.


Well, this is a great achievement but I am surprised that a top team like Pakistan never reached the number 1 spot in the ODI ranking before.

Tomorrow we have fifth and the final one day international match between the two teams. Since Pakistan have one all of the previous four matches it will be interesting to see if they can win this last match and end the series on a 5-0 note.

Pakistan would like to continue their winning streak and would like to make history by beating New Zealand by 5 matches in the ODI series on their own home ground (PAK).

Pakistan won all four matches of the series. And in almost every match we see Pakistan dominating. The Pakistan team is playing great in this series. Especially I want to say that their batsmen are in very good form now. Fakhar did not bat well in the fourth match, but with the help of Babar, Salman and Shan's excellent batting, Pakistan managed to set a huge target of 335. As the Pakistan batsmen are in great form now, the team is expected to form a perfect team for the upcoming ODI World Cup. If the Pakistani batsmen are able to continue such a good performance in the last match of the series, the New Zealand team will be a whitewashed.
With this victory Pakistan is now number one ODI team according to latest ICC ranking. New Zealand are now all set for a whitewash in this series. New Zealand were good in T20 series and it was predicted that they will give tough time to Pakistan in ODI series but that didn't happened. In 4th ODI New Zealand didn't tried too much after Pakistan set a target of 335 runs. Tom Latham and Chapman are highest scorer for new zealand with 60 and 46 runs.

I would say that the Pakistan team won 4 matches due to the great performance of the batsmen. Apart from Babar Azam and Rizwan, other Pakistani batsmen have returned to form.

If the batsmen can continue this form then Pakistan will definitely fight for the title in the upcoming ODI World Cup.

Pakistan has climbed to the first position in the ODI Cricket Rankings. It is indeed a matter of pride for Pakistan cricket. I have never seen such a ranking  position before. Congratulation to Pakistan Cricket for this good achievement. Pakistan has participated in 29 matches and collected 3291 points and is rated 113. However, although Australia and India have the same rating but they have played more matches than Pakistan. The New Zealand series has been good enough for Pakistan to reach this stage. This series is not over yet. There is one match left and a win there will make it somewhat easier for them to retain the top spot in the ranking.
