It will be a great injustice to the Nepal fans in case this match gets washed out. Because right now, UAE is at 106/9 after 27.3 overs. Without the rains, Nepal would have won already.

Tens of thousands of Nepal cricket fans at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground, Kirtipur staying on behind heavy rain. The final match of the ACC Men's Premier Cup is currently ongoing between Nepal and the United Arab Emirates. You will never find any fans for United Arab Emirates, because they don't have any nationals in their team.
It will be a great injustice to the Nepal fans in case this match gets washed out. Because right now, UAE is at 106/9 after 27.3 overs. Without the rains, Nepal would have won already.

Pakistan is leading two-zero right now. This is of course a great opportunity for them to actually win a series.
After all, Pakistan is being able to get win in those matches which are actually tough.
At the same time, all of these matches also show that Pakistan is being able to overcome the batting problems that they had.
If Pakistan can maintain their consistency then they will be able to win the series. But it is doubtful whether they will be able to do so in the end. In the upcoming match, New Zealand will try their best to win the match and save the series. But this might be Pakistan's last chance otherwise they might lose again. If the series is drawn or lost after 2 consecutive wins in the 5 match series then it is a big failure for the team which is not expected by the Pakistan team.After all, Pakistan is being able to get win in those matches which are actually tough.

The Pakistani team played well in the first two matches of the T20 series. And they won. After winning the first two matches, the Pakistan team could not win the series. One month was abandoned and they lost the remaining two matches. But Pakistan is still very strong in the ODI format. But I would say that the performance of their bowlers is good. Pakistan won both matches only because of the good performance of three batsmen. Babar Azam, opener Fakhar Zaman, and Mohammad Rizwan have performed brilliantly in all three matches. If these three players don't perform well in any match I am sure the Pakistan team will face a bad batting disaster and lose. Pakistan should now think about how to strengthen their bowling line-up.
In last year Pakistan has won only one home series and that is ODI series against Australia last year. Since then all series played in country are either draw or lost by Pakistan. Pakistan was even not able to win T20 series against second tier new zealand team. This is a great opportunity to break there losing streak and win series. 3 more ODIs still to be played and Pakistan need to win just one to grab the series. Seeing the performance of Pakistan its difficult to predict outcome of this series.
These three heroes in yesterday's match played very well. Fakhar Zaman, in particular, deliver his outstanding performance on the field.
It's true top three batters of the Pakistani team have been performing so well in their recent matches, and it's a treat to watch them play. The consistency of their batting that we've not seen before. However, their middle order remains an area of concern, and team needs to address. I'm optimistic about Pakistan's chances of winning the series. Let's be honest, when the wicket is flat and offers nothing for the bowlers, it's going to be a tough ask for them to make any impact. So, the expectations from the bowlers are quite low, and it's up to the batsmen to carry the team forward.

The second ODI between Pakistan and New Zealand was absolutely unbelievable. Pakistan was actually lucky to have a good opener who can actually score like that.
Fakhar Zaman alone scored 180. That was huge. That contributed a lot to the win for Pakistan.

Out of the total of 5 ODI's the Pakistan team has won 2 and 3 more matches are left. As usual, the start is always good but the end always results in disappointment. What they did in the T20 series was a complete mess. I hope they do not do the same in the currency ODI as it would be a big disappointment for Pakistani fans. No one expects a team playing on the home ground to draw a series or lose it.
The trust that the audience built on the Pakistan team at the start of the T20 series was completely lost at the end. I believe that the same incident won't happen with the ODI series. If Pakistan team get the same result in the ODI series at home ground, there will be definitely negative criticism about their cricket. Even after winning the first two matches, Pakistan could not win the last series which will not be a good message for Pakistan cricket. I strongly believe that Pakistan won't repeat the same incident in the ODI series and provably Pakistan can win the series by 4-1.The Pakistani team played well in the first two matches of the T20 series.

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
Pakistan still managed to take 5 of the New Zealand wickets while NZ only took 3 Pakistan's wckets. 
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.
Actually, it was Fakhar Zaman who single handedly won the match for the Pakistan team. He alone scored 180 runs which made this target look easy. Also, he was supported by Babar Azam who scored 65 runs and Muhammad Rizwan who made 54 runs. I am impressed by thie performance of their batting line up but can they keep up the same performance in the coming matches, it is a big question.
This is a series of 5 ODIs and Pakistan have won the first two of them. Now Pakistan only need one more win and they will take the series away from the NZ. The NZ team needs to rethink on how to control this batting lineup and try to win the next matches.

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.

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. Even after giving a huge target of 337 runs, the New Zealand team could not win.

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.
