New Zealand v Pakistan | 2nd T20I | Hamilton | Jan 14 | New Zealand Innings

[Cricket Warrior]

After securing a victory against Pakistan in the first T20 international in Auckland, New Zealand is now gearing up to face the Asian side in the second match of the five-game series. This clash is scheduled for Super Sunday, January 14th, 2024, at Seddon Park in Hamilton, kicking off at 11:10 AM PST.

Notably, New Zealand has registered three of the five 200-plus totals in T20Is at this venue. Pakistan faces a challenging task in their pursuit of leveling the series, considering the hosts have only suffered two defeats in 12 games in Hamilton since 2008.



When: January 14, 11:10 AM PST

Where: Seddon Park, Hamilton



Team News:

New Zealand

in 3 overs, experienced uneventful returns to the side. However, they are expected to feature again as New Zealand aims to extend their lead on Sunday. Mitchell Santner was unavailable due to COVID, and New Zealand is likely to maintain an unchanged lineup for this fixture. Will Young, who has been included in the squad for the third match, replacing Josh Clarkson, might provide Kane Williamson with a one-match break.

Pakistan

The inexperienced pair of Aamer Jamal and Usama Mir conceded 106 runs in eight overs combined in the opening fixture. Jamal, Pakistan's most recent find in Tests, could be persisted with. As for leg-spinner Mir, Abrar Ahmed is waiting in the wings.



Squads:

Pakistan Squad: Mohammad Rizwan(w), Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Saim Ayub, Iftikhar Ahmed, Azam Khan, Aamer Jamal, Mohammad Nawaz, Shaheen Afridi(c), Haris Rauf, Zaman Khan, Usama Mir, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Abrar Ahmed, Sahibzada Farhan, Abbas Afridi, Haseebullah Khan

[AAli98]

Don’t expect this joke of a Pak team to even make a game out of it Rizwan or bust.

 

[Devadwal]

2-0 for NZ unless Williamson has different plan .
Pakistan need to open with fakhar - saim to explore PP .

 

[MenInG]

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Don’t expect this joke of a Pak team to even make a game out of it Rizwan or bust.

You mean if Rizwan won't fire Pakistan has a chance?

Got that right.

 

[Croma]

I hope to see Saim Ayub bat at least till the 10 over. His short innings in the first game was mighty entertaining. Packed a solid punch.
So is this new aggressive Rizwan. Hope he continues the same aggression this game.

 

[BouncerGuy]

So, Pakistan opted to go with the same team. Usama should have been a goner but he still made it to the playing 11. Let's see what he can do this time. Not having much hopes from him.

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

Regardless of what people think, its a good decision to keep the same 11.

You cant be dropping players after one match, give this 11 at least three matches.

This is the 11 they chose for the first match, so back it up

 

[Ahmed216]

My hopes of victory are dashed whenever I see Usama Mir's name in the playing eleven.

 

[AAli98]

You mean if Rizwan won't fire Pakistan has a chance?

Got that right.

Well he does average over 40 in all formats Pak always begging him to score.

Anyway let’s hope Ifty & moins son fire today

What are your predictions
??

 

[Suleiman]

If Fakhar doesn’t open I will continue to support NZ

Don’t blame me. PCB gives me no choice.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Don’t blame me. PCB gives me no choice.

I don't think there is any chance for Fakhar and saim to open. Rizwan will be there with saim. Same combination will be used.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

So, Pakistan opted to go with the same team. Usama should have been a goner but he still made it to the playing 11. Let's see what he can do this time. Not having much hopes from him.

He will once again prove to be a costly mistake

Would have played 5 seamers instead , and if needed ifthikar can bowl 2 -3 overs

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Given that T20 is supposedly the only format Pakistan can compete in, it's important to win or at least come close to it, today. Jamal should have been rested. Management as clueless as the last

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Barbars 50 came at a good SR in the end but when he was in his 30s he was batting at 100 SR nearly run a ball that puts pressure on others when chasing 220+

 

[LegendAli]

Bowling first.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Again chasing , we might see rinse and repeat of 1st T20

 

[BouncerGuy]

Pakistan won the toss and chose to field first.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Won the toss, chose to bowl first

 

[Ali Active]

what is wrong with shaheen u just lost previous match bowling first and u do that again? knowing ur batsmen crumble under pressure

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Think Pakistan are hoping that they have a good chance if they restrict NZ to 180.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Think Pakistan are hoping that they have a good chance if they restrict NZ to 180.

Agreed. Pakistan would want to restrict NZ to 170-180 and then they can chase it down.

 

[Devadwal]

Pakistan win another important toss but can they win this match also ?

 

[BouncerGuy]

Pakistan won the toss and chose to field first.

 

[Shafi]

Fakhar is a flop player in T20. 1 fifty against mighty HK in last 16 matches. Totally a timid player.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Same team from Pakistan but New Zealand made 1 change, Henry out for Santner

 

[jattafridi]

Need better performance

Come on boys

King Shaheen

My prediction New Zealand 181/7

Pakistan 182/6

 

[AAli98]

Captain throwing all the responsibility on the batsman by bowling first again. What a coward

Keep mentioning s/r you can only test a batsman’s s/r ie Saim Ayub by batting 1st chasing is a pressure game.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan have never beaten NZ here

 

[BouncerGuy]

Pakistan have never beaten NZ here

Can change this record today.

 

[Rana]

Conway is a wasteman opener too

That’s if we are fair

 

[Devadwal]

Fakhar is a flop player in T20. 1 fifty against mighty HK in last 16 matches. Totally a timid player.

What is the fakhar record as an opener and at no. 4?

 

[Human786]

anyone saw pitch report ?

 

[BouncerGuy]

Good start by shaheen.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Is there an un-even bounce here?

 

[BouncerGuy]

Shaheen getting some swings and line and length also looked nice.

 

[BouncerGuy]

ooooooo..just too high from short fine leg.

 

[JAV12341]

Afridi bowling pies needs to fix up or retire

 

[BouncerGuy]

Rauf getting smashed now. 6 by allen after that 4

 

[Rana]

Finn Allen is off and away

 

[msb314]

WTH Haris..

 

[BouncerGuy]

Anybody noticed a female umpire on the field?

 

[jattafridi]

we need wickets

Atleast 3 under 10 overs

 

[Croma]

One day I actually wanna see Rauf bowl well for Pakistan. Just one day.

 

[BouncerGuy]

conway living dangerously here.

 

[Human786]

12 run over

 

[BouncerGuy]

There is some awkward bounce in the wicket.

 

[Human786]

There is some awkward bounce in the wicket.

hard pitch - decent bounce - 190 should be a good total

 

[Croma]

4 and a 3 off first two deliveries from SHaheen....

 

[Croma]

After Rauf low performance in the world cup and preferring BBL over test selection, he should not be able to make automatic selection in the team.

A comment I wholeheartedly agree with.

 

[Rana]

World class hit

 

[Human786]

15 runs & 200+ on ...

 

[msb314]

What a disaster..

 

[Sher Khan]

Our bowling has become completely toothless

 

[Croma]

Seriously what to PCB see in Rauf that they bend over backwards and beg him to play for Pakistan

 

[Croma]

Its ok, lets blame the pitch and move ahead

 

[kingusama92]

Haris Rauf is not as dangerous with the new ball.

This is why he works better with Naseem and Shaheen handling the new ball duties.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

The Rauf experiment is surely over?.

He bottled it versus India and now deserted the Test team, in Australia!.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Getting smacked all over, going to be chasing well over 200

 

[BouncerGuy]

Haris should be gone as well now. Let Zaman play who is in form and has done well recently.

 

[Human786]

18 run over ...........

 

[Croma]

OOOOOOhhhh Rauf averages 21.6. I take back my words

 

[Rana]

Finn Allen yar

What a beautiful player

 

[Ali T]

SSA's not looking at threatening as he was beginning of last year and Haris Rauf's always been very inconsistent.
Plus the ground is small.
NZ's in for a big score.

 

[Nasty Naz]

What a poor & depressing start. Would have been nice if they batted first so at least I could fool myself into thinking they have a chance at all.

The bowling is just awful and Pakistan don't have the firepower in batting you need to match NZ on this ground.

 

[sindhiboy]

Rauf should not open the bowling

 

[Rana]

Conway and Kane

Frustrating T20 players

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Rauf is surely not your first pick for T20 WC. Even Ihsanullah would be better than Rauf.

 

[Human786]

so , 220 on

 

[RidiculousMan]

Why no Pakistani commentators in this series?

 

[Croma]

Rauf 2-0-30-0

 

[Ali Active]

Yeah shaheen bowl first again get spanked

 

[AAli98]

Is the Nasim shah injury excuse still valid for Pak getting pumped every other day?

 

[jattafridi]

Harris rauf third class bowler


New Zealand What a performance

 

[Devadwal]

@Rana Finn Allen is smashing Rauf today. Your wish is granted

 

[Croma]

52-0 : 4.2

 

[Spitfire]

Seriously what to PCB see in Rauf that they bend over backwards and beg him to play for Pakistan

It's Pakistan's obsession with pace. See what India has done with Umran Malik. They realised he was not upto international standards despite his ability to bowl at sheer pace and just dropped him.

 

[Croma]

Abbas has variations, wont be easy to hit him

 

[jattafridi]

Time for new Prediction New Zealand 222/3
Pakistan 167 ao
