New Zealand (346/5) comprehensively defeat Pakistan (345/5) by 5 wickets in their first warm-up game in the ICC World Cup 2023

These issues have been plaguing us since a long time, and unfortunately Shadab and Nawaz are not good enough to lead the spin bowling attack.

Shadab is an allrounder. I watched him in Asia cup. I thought he didn't bowl correct length for the pitch and he seemed not on a good rhythm. Perhaps he was not fit. However, I expect him correct those issues and to play crucial role during middle overs on Indian pitches.

Nawaz - I don't know much about him. People here seem to prefer Imad. But it is too late to bring him. Nawaz could be more useful during the later stages of the tournament.

Shadab isn’t an all rounder! The guy can’t even spin the ball or get wickets! He’s had numerous chances, more then 7 years invested in this fake VC, yet is he a match-winner? Can he bowl out the tail of a batting team under a set target?

Babar's first ever score on Indian soil : 80
Rizwan's first ever score on Indian soil : 103

Great sign of things to come!

Their legacy in India starts today.

Probably a great sign for them. That doesn't mean their fate and Pakistan team fate has to be the same. With SR of 80 and 100 that is not going to be good for the team.

Lol Imam the "stat padder" and the one who is obsessed with the individual average scored 1 run in 10 balls. Please open with Fakhar and Abdullah Shafique.

This aged badly. Embarrassing comments.

i still standby. pak will qualify

As expected. Pakistan won't be able to defend even 350 with bowlers like Usama , Shadab.

One delivery of Hasan Ali did swing. Not sure why he was not able to maintain the channel for a couple more overs.

In the match played at the Rajiv Gandhi Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad, middle-order batsman Saud Shakeel scored 75 runs off 53 balls with the help of 5 fours and 4 sixes at a strike rate of 141.51, but he did not have a sponsor bat on which to play. Fans were shocked.

Twitter users wrote that they are sad to see no sponsor on Saud Shakeel's bat, it is a shame for us.

the opposite can also happen, with the pitches gripping more and getting slower in the 2nd innings. Will need to do their research on the individual grounds

Yes, that would be down to the analysts for the Pak team. But in general, in most matches, the team chasing will win.

The use of spin in ODI matches and on ODI pitches in India has been overblown. Everyone will need good seam bowlers early and good batters late.
