Pakistan are likely to retain the winning combination in the second ODI against New Zealand Wednesday.
The Men in Green went off to a winning start in the three-match series at the National Bank Cricket Arena on Monday, when the Babar XI outclassed Kane Williamson’s New Zealand in all departments of the game to register a six-wicket win.
Captain Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman all scored half-centuries after Naseem Shah ripped apart New Zealand’s batting attack to claim his second ODI fifer.
On a windy and cloudy day, reports suggest, Pakistan are keeping the winning combination, which means newly named vice-captain Shan Masood has to wait for his opportunity in the 50-over format.
Babar Azam (C), Fakhar Zaman, Imam ul Haq, Haris Sohail, Mohammad Rizwan, Agha Salam, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Haris Rauf, Usama Mir and Naseem Shah.
