New Zealand and Pakistan are set to clash in the second ODI of their three-match series at Seddon Park, Hamilton, on Wednesday, April 2. New Zealand currently leads the series 1-0 after a convincing 73-run victory in the first match.

Match Overview

In the first ODI, New Zealand posted a formidable total of 344 runs, largely thanks to Mark Chapman’s impressive 132 runs and Daryl Mitchell’s solid contribution of 76. Despite a promising start from Pakistan, who were at 246/3 at one point, they collapsed dramatically, losing seven wickets for just 22 runs, ultimately finishing their innings at 271.

Team News

New Zealand: The hosts will have to adjust their lineup as Chapman has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury. Tim Seifert is expected to step in, bringing momentum from his recent Player of the Series performance in the T20Is. Other key players like Daryl Mitchell and debutant Muhammad Abbas will also be crucial for New Zealand’s batting and bowling efforts.

Pakistan: The visitors are facing their own challenges with Usman Khan unavailable for selection. Imam-ul-Haq is likely to replace him in the squad. Pakistan’s captain Mohammad Rizwan will need to rally his team to bounce back from their previous defeat and keep the series alive
