Our Prediction
New Zealand won their first encounter against Pakistan comprehensively by 70 runs and have taken a 1-0 lead in the 3-match ODI series. The hosts will now battle it out with the visitors in the 2nd game on 28th January at McLean Park, Napier. Batting first, the Kiwis set up a target of 281 runs on the board for Pakistan, and their bowlers went on to defend the total and register a win. New Zealand were the better side in all the three departments of the game and will look to perform even better with the bat in the upcoming contest. Pakistan, on the other hand, must lift themselves up and put up a good show in the 2nd ODI. They need to ensure a win in this match in order to draw level and keep the series alive. Pakistan definitely has the requisite firepower to bounce back in the competition on Thursday.
New Zealand Team News & Playing 11
Henry Nicholls was the match winner for his team on Sunday. The man of the match scored an excellent 82 off 111 balls and has high betting odds going in his favor. Except for Nicholls, the entire top order surrendered to Pakistan's pace attack before losing 6 wickets for just 99 runs on the board. This is very much a concern for the Kiwi batting unit as their lower order batsmen did better than their top players like Guptill, Williamson, Latham, Anderson and Elliott. Matt Henry and Mitchell Santner took their side to a respectable total with each scoring 48 runs. Santner was equally efficient with the ball as well, picking up a wicket with a decent economy rate of 4.50. His allround performance has made him favorable among online punters to place their bets on.
The Kiwi bowling attack was sharp as ever. Grant Elliott and Trent Boult took 3 and 4 wickets respectively, demolishing Pakistan’s hopes and restricting them from achieving the target. Their skillful display of bowling on Sunday have earned them high betting odds in their favor. The spin department too was quite effective with Williamson and Santner picking up a wicket each. Leaving aside their top-order batting collapse, New Zealand are enjoying their winning momentum and seem confident enough for the clash on Thursday.
Pakistan Team News & Playing 11
Pakistan struggled throughout the course of their innings and managed to muster just 210 runs in reply. Except for Babar Azam, Mohammad Hafeez and Sarfraz Ahmed, all the other batsmen kept falling like a pack of cards. Azam looked to be in a good touch and was the top scorer for his side with a well compiled 62 runs, making him a player worth wagering on. Mohammad Hafeez has always been a batsman to count on for Pakistan and the previous game was no different either. With a contribution of 42 runs, he is another Pakistani player with high odds among online bettors.
The bowlers were very much effective in the stifling the hosts. Anwar Ali, Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Irfan ripped through New Zealand's top-order, picking wickets at a steady pace. Bagging 3 wickets each, Mohammad Amir and Anwar Ali are the bowlers to watch out for in the 2nd ODI and the ones you can consider placing your bets on. Mohammad Irfan also looked impressive and took two important scalps. Though a strong bowling side, Pakistan's batting line-up will need to hold its nerves together if they are to challenge the hosts in the upcoming match.
Final Prediction
New Zealand certainly seems to have the upper hand going into the 2nd one-day game in Napier. But having said that, their batsmen will need to be more confident in approach while facing the Pakistani speedsters. While the visitors have a strong bowling attack, their fragile batting line-up makes them an unpredictable side as a whole. A more balanced line-up, excellent form and home conditions make New Zealand a strong favorites in this upcoming thriller on Thursday.
