when batting its very difficult to understand the lines. For viewer its easier to understand because we view from front.
Thats why when batters come into bat they take a mark where the drag their shoe nails on the leg wicket to take guard

Heartbreaking for Iftikhar! Horrible show from Shaheen, Rauf and Wasim. Proper number 11 batters.

Pakistan are not a professional outfit, gifted this victory to NZ by taking it easy, need to be more ruthless.

Tom Latham | New Zealand skipper: Great performance on the board. We probably got a par score and got wickets in the powerplay which we haven't done in the series and this was a complete performance. Shipley was able to find right lengths on this wicket and was really consistent at it. For us it is about improving from game to game and expose guys to different challenges at the international level. Wasn't an ideal result from the team's point of view but satisfied with the improved performance from game to game.
Babar Azam | Pakistan skipper: It was a brilliant series, but didn't finish it the way we wanted. We didn't do well with the bat at the top and
Agha and Iftikhar got a good partnership but we left too many runs for them. We always have to be prepared to perform irrespective of the conditions. Needed to play better cricket today. Overall, it was a good series for the team and our bowlers did well throughout. We wanted to check the bench strength and there were a lot of positives to take from this series. We chased 300-plus and also defended under 300, so it was a good series for us.
Fakhar Zaman | Player of the Series: It doesn't happen the way you anticipate always in cricket. Thought of making big runs in Karachi, but didn't happen. Happy that we won the series. The mistakes I made in Karachi, I want to work on that and prepare well for the upcoming World Cup.

No issues with Iftikhar. Yes, Imad should replace Shan Masood.

Why was Imam being rested, Considering he doesn't even play T20s? Why Shan Masood keeps showing up and failing? Shan didn't even make a 50, This loss is on Shan Masood. When will he be dropped for good. He is a huge failure in all formats.

Babar Azam had a forgettable 100th ODI when New Zealand defeated Pakistan by 47 runs in the fifth and final ODI to push the series hosts from first to third on the ICC ODI Team Rankings.
Babar lasted five balls for one that resulted in the holiday crowd leaving the National Bank Stadium before Iftikhar Ahmed’s career-best 94 not out and Salman Ali Agha’s third career half-century helped Pakistan to recover from 66 for four to 252 in 46.1 overs in reply to New Zealand’s 299 all-out in 49.3 overs.
Although Pakistan won the series comprehensively by a 4-1 margin, Sunday’s defeat meant their reign at the top of the ICC ODI Team Rankings lasted just 48 hours. Pakistan had needed to win on Sunday to consolidate their position at the top of the table before an annual update of the ICC ODI Team Rankings was carried out post Ireland versus Bangladesh series.
After Pakistan had lost Shan Masood (7), Babar Azam (1), Mohamamd Rizwan (9) and Fakhar Zaman (33), Iftikhar Ahmed and Salman Ali Agha answered the calls with gutsy and fighting knocks. The two batters added 97 runs for the fifth wicket in 95 balls before Salman became Henry Shipley’s third victim at the score of 163.
Salman’s run-a-ball 57 ball innings was laced with six fours and a six. It was his second successive half-century.
Following Salman’s departure, Iftikhar continued to keep Pakistan’s slim chances in the match alive with a 26-ball 30-run sixth wicket partnership with Shadab Khan (14) and 18-ball 23-run seventh wicket partnership with Usama Mir (20), but he was always fighting a losing battle as the required run-rate headed in the wrong direction.
Iftikhar returned unbeaten after last-man Haris Rauf was declared run-out despite television replays suggesting Henry may have dislodged the bails with his hand instead of the ball.
Iftikhar slapped eight fours and two sixes in a 72-ball 94, but more importantly demonstrated that he, along with Salman, had the capacity, capability and ability to solve Pakistan’s middle-order batting woes and concerns. Iftikhar not only hit boundaries with powerful shots, but intelligently kept the scoreboard moving by nudging the ball in gaps.
Besides Shipley (three for 34), left-arm spinner Rachin Ravindra also bowled well and finished with three for 65.
Earlier, half-centuries by Will Young and Tom Latham with small middle-order contributions lifted New Zealand to 299 in 49.3 overs after they had elected to bat first.
Young scored a 91-ball 87 with eight fours and two sixes and Latham struck five fours in a 58-ball 59, but the most punishing innings in the middle once again came from Mark Chapman who belted five fours and two sixes in a 33-ball 43.
Young and Latham put on run-a-ball 74-run third wicket partnership, while Latham and Chapman added 56 runs for the fourth wicket in 47 balls.
For Pakistan, Shaheen Shah Afridi picked up three wickets for 46 runs, while wrist-spin duo of Usama Mir and Shadab Khan took two wickets apiece.

Captain Babar Azam says the "dominant" one-day series win over New Zealand sets Pakistan up nicely for the World Cup, despite doubts over their participation.
The hosts beat a depleted New Zealand 4-1 in the five-match series and on their way briefly reached the top of the one-day rankings for the first time.
Pakistan scored 337 in the second match -- their second-highest successful chase in one-day internationals -- and Azam became the fastest player to 5,000 ODI runs en route to his 18th century in the format.
Opener Fakhar Zaman meanwhile achieved the distinction of hitting hundreds in three successive ODIs, firmly establishing his place in Pakistan's top three, which also includes opener Imam-ul-Haq.
Uncertainty looms over Pakistan's participation in the World Cup in October-November because of tensions with hosts India.
Despite that and defeat in the final match on Sunday, Azam was in buoyant mood.
"Winning the series is great and so is achieving number one ranking that has set us in a good position for the World Cup," said the skipper.
Asked if the uncertainty was worrying for the Pakistan team, Azam said: "We can't say anything about that, but wherever we get a chance to play, we will play."
The stand-off started last year when India announced it would not send a team to Pakistan for the Asia Cup in September, a month before the World Cup.
In response, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has threatened to pull out of the World Cup.
There are signs of a thaw, however. Last week Pakistan Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari visited India to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation in Goa -- the first visit by a senior Pakistani official in years.
No easy win
Azam refused to accept that in missing eight of their top players -- mostly due to Indian Premier League duty -- New Zealand were easy to beat.
"You don't play an international team thinking that they are a junior team," said Azam.
"You have to give 100 percent to win against an international team, so we played better and dominated."
Pakistan won the first two matches by five and seven wickets in Rawalpindi before clinching the next two by 26 and 102 runs in Karachi.
New Zealand took the final game by 47 runs, also in Karachi.
Stand-in New Zealand skipper Tim Latham said the series was useful despite the results.
"We wanted to expose players to different roles and I think it was a great opportunity for all of them to experience these conditions," he said.
New Zealand are sweating on the fitness of regular skipper Kane Williamson, who injured his knee during the IPL and looks likely to miss the World Cup.
New Zealand were runners-up in the last two World Cups, in 2015 and 2019
