Pakistan brought Spin attack to control the score and Imad wasim did well. He Picked up two wicket earlier and given only 8 runs. New Zealand now 44 runs in five over with lost of two wicket. NZ batsmen looking so aggressive in this match. Power play over and now they will be looking for good total to defend. If they did not lose another wicket earlier then this partnership might be dangerous one for Pak bowlers. Total score can be 170+ now.
Rain along with thunderstorm has come to rescue Pakistan. Its raining heavily here and didn't looks like play will resume tonight. New Zealand were on top when play was interrupted because of rain. In 18.5 overs New Zealand score was 164 and Mark Chapman was not out on 71. With 7 balls remaining it is very much expected that New Zealand may give target of somewhere around 175. Target of 170 or more is not easy to chase specially if its Pakistan. The match is being delayed due to rain. There is also a possibility that the match will be abandoned. But if not abandoned, New Zealand will probably win. If they can deliver a target of 175 runs on a pitch that will be a good enough collection. On the other hand, it is almost impossible to predict Pakistan's batting performance. There is no doubt that Pakistan will win if Babar and Rizwan are able to play well. But these two players are not able to play well and it is difficult for Pakistan to win. Because the performance of any batsman in Pakistan is not regular.
