New Zealand beat Pakistan by 64 runs
Pakistan
New Zealand
After their loss in the first ODI, New Zealand have bounced back well to win the second ODI by 64 runs and level the series. They have thus set up an exciting series-decider against Pakistan on Monday. Brendon McCullum scored a magnificent 131 runs to help New Zealand to a competitive 303. The Kiwi bowlers kept things tight from the very beginning. Even though the Pakistan openers got the team off to a cautious start, the required run rate was always climbing. Pressure eventually got to them as Ross Taylor made up for his two ducks in the series with two outstanding catches in the span of three balls to dismiss Khan and Afridi respectively. That triggered a mini-collapse of sorts as Pakistan lost four wickets for 10 runs. From there on things were always going to be tough. Vettori and Styris scalped five wickets between them as only Butt managed to score a half-century. Eventually Pakistan succumbed to the pressure. No surprises for guessing who the Man of the Match is. Brendon McCullum rightfully walks away with that prize. The Cool and Cool series is nicely set up, with New Zealand doing to Pakistan what Pakistan did to them a few days ago. Join us for the deciding ODI on Monday. See you then. Goodbye.
