Not only NZ team but even their prime minister Jacinda Ardern is a timorous and Fearful lady who asked her cricket team to run away from the playing field.
Now coming to the performance of Team Pakistan i am still not convinced with their batting performance. I read one or two comments here that since all batsmen played well in the final, the Pakistan team got their form back. You cannot judge the restoration of performance only on the basis of one match.
Pakistan obviously performed well. But what I like about Pakistan is that while chasing they knew how to approach the target and they played very well to not throw away the wicket.
In the New Zealand lineup, only Kane Williamson played really well in my opinion. If he had another batsman who could play a bigger inning I think New Zealand could have had a better chance of winning. That's what Pakistan did. They knew the objective and they approached it accordingly.
You know, Sodhi had a lot more experience in New Zealand. If he could be a little more economical I think New Zealand had a fighting chance. But the Pakistan batsman knew that he was struggling and it was not a day for him. So they went after Sodhi.
