Pakistan will face off New Zealand in the second Test match at Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai. They'll look to bounce back after an unexpected 4 runs defeat in the first Test in Abu Dhabi. Pakistan's bowling was excellent but their top and lower order batsmen let them down as they collapsed in both innings and lost 6 wickets for just 24 runs when needed 29 runs for victory.

On the other hand, New Zealand is on high confidence after a thrilling win and one more great outing will seal the series for them. Tom Latham, Ross Taylor, Colin de Grandhomme were poor with bat in Abu Dhabi Test and would love to contribute as much as they can. New Zealand are leading by 1-0 in the three Tests series.
