Match Turning Points:
Solid Start, Missed Chance: The team collapsed when it could not succeed, the wickets were falling quickly. Fakhar and Babar gave Pakistan a platform where it could land easily, but the plan flopped.
Middle-Order Resistance: A sensible partnership is seen between Rizwan and Salman, where they hold the game, which was necessary at that time. But when they came into the field of play, they lost their direction.
Composed Finish: Under the pressure, players Latham and Mitchell Marsh were in chill mode and showed calmness so that they could win the match. Phillips, at that time, finished the game with some hits in the final overs.
It was very evident that both teams gave their best throughout the game by balancing. However, New Zealand shows the difference in their performance by showing a scorecard. It was a tough match for Pakistan, but some mistakes cost them against the New Zealand team.
Post-Match
Player of the Series: Salman Agha- Player of the match. His contribution is commendable through batting, which brings balance to Pakistan’s team in the middle overs in important moments.
