I have always wanted Umar Amin to suceed. Here is his chance once again.
 
What a pity that they couldnt get Sohail Akhtar in. He looked good in that T20 tourney where he opening the batting.

Watching Farhan bat for some time now and I'm not sold on him to represent Pakistan anytime soon. Seems to be crouching a lot at all times and would stuggle with rising deliveries.
 
It is surprising at the pace they are batting considering no wickets have gone down
 
Lookin at the playing XI, this is a strong NZ A team.
 
Maybe that it's a T20 ::J

151/5 with 1 over remaining.

Asif Ali hit 20 off 9 to give some momentum.

Surprise surprise, easily chased down.

Looking forward to the 50-over matches with a top three of Abid Ali, Shan Masood and Mohammad Saad.
 
Two surprises for me - 1. how quickly NZ regrouped from 8 wickets & 8 overs' defeat in 1st game and 2. PAK won 1st game that easily, then opted to bat first next both times after winning toss. That batting confidence is missing at every level.
