PAK vs NZ 2018 : Second ODI - Statistical Preview

All the major stats and facts as Pakistan take on New Zealand in the second ODI in Abu Dhabi.

Trent Boult took a hat-trick in the first ODI against Pakistan

Pakistan will seek to return on winning ways when they take on New Zealand in the second ODI match at Shiekh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. They have been poor in this format since the Champions Trophy 2017 win and have lost all the ODIs they played against top six ranked side.

Pakistan's top order batsmen need to put up a collective performance to post a good total on the board and bowlers need to do well in death overs. On the other hand, New Zealand will look to seal the series today itself. Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor, Tom Latham, Trent Boult, Lockie Fergueson etc are in good form and if their lower order batsmen support them enough then they should clinch yet another ODI series against Pakistan.
