Match Summary
The summary of the Pak vs NZ T20I 3rd match is very long but highlights the necessary things we saw in this match.
New Zealand Performance Summary
Pak vs NZ T20I 3rd match is memorable for Finn Allen. Finn Allen smashes a record 16 sixes in an innings and equals the record with Afghanistan Hazratullah Zazai. Allen`s no mercy over the Pakistan bowler, who made 137 runs off 62 balls sets another record most runs in an innings for New Zealand. He broke the record of Brendon McCullum`s 123 innings against Bangladesh. Tim Seifert and Glenn Phillips contributed a little bit and set 224 for 7 on the scoreboard.
Bowling is very impressive for New Zealand again in the Pak vs NZ T20I 3rd match. So, they took the responsibility of defending the big total and they did it. Tim Southee is remarkable with the bowl and took 2 wickets for 29 runs. Captain Mitchell Santner and Lockie Ferguson took 1 wicket each and conceded the least runs. Matt Henry is expensive today with 1 for 51 runs. Ish Sodhi picks the key wicket of Babar Azam. Fielding is good today for the New Zealand side and this is the reason for defending 225 runs. But, good fielding can lead to winning matches against any side.
Pakistan Performance Summary
In this Pak vs NZ T20I 3rd match, Pakistan lost the series and some horrible performances were seen in this match. So, the bowling is very poor and disgusting. Haris Rauf forgets how to bowl in an international match. Haris Rauf should be dropped from every format and given the chance to domestic performer. He is the league cricket bowler and tape bowl bowler. Shaheen Shah Afridi`s bowling and captaincy are also answerable. Giving the captaincy to Shaheen Shah Afridi in the Pak vs NZ T20I is a very wrong decision. They have a player who is experienced and fit.
But, some lobbyist is behind this Game of Thrones. Shaheen Shah Afridi did not pick the wickets in the first overs. Then he is frustrated and concedes runs. They make some changes is the squad that is just okay. Muhammad Wasim and Zaman Khan have a good future but need a good mentor. So, let’s talk about the batting of Pakistan cricket team. Again Saim Ayub played a wrong off slow ball and cost his wicket. Other batters can’t handle the pressure of 225 runs. They made 179 for 7 in 20 overs and lost the match and series.
Conclusion
Pakistan batters and bowels need to go back to the basics of cricket. Also, they have to prioritize the “Red-Ball Cricket”. Red-ball cricket gives skills, patience, and temperament. So, all these things can make a good cricketer.
