Their best bet is bowling extremely well and getting NZ out cheaply and hoping to score just enough runs to win because it will be very difficult to score even 250 runs with that terrible batting lineup.

What a sh*t tail

 

[GreenKhan]

This is a kind of batting line up where 180-5 could become 220 all out.

However Faheem has shown some promise with the bat in red ball cricket with the bat , and Yasir is pretty decent number 8. So hopefully the tail can show some fight .
