Pakistan vs New Zealand: What will the team that could not pass three sessions save the match?
After Pakistan's innings and heavy defeat by 176 runs, it is being said that it was against the best team in the world and there is a clear difference in the rankings of the two teams.
But the real difference is the thinking that is clearly seen in the teams of Pakistan and New Zealand.
The hosts took to the field aggressively with the thought of winning the match and the visitors locked themselves in a defensive shell and were seen playing the entire series with the mindset of how to save the match.
The Pakistani team lost two wickets in the first session today and then after losing four wickets in the second session, there was nothing left for it in this match.
The team that could not pass two or three sessions, what will they win or save the match?
Night watchman Mohammad Abbas lost his wicket as well as his review in the fifth over of the day, while Abid Ali and Azhar Ali continued to fight the New Zealand bowlers for 13 overs.
Abid Ali played so carefully that 20 balls were played without a run, but given his record of first Tests and first ODI centuries, it remains to be seen how much longer he will be able to play as his last 10 Test innings Only a half-century has come out of the bat.
The same is true of Harris Sohail, who was selected in the squad for the tour of New Zealand without playing in a first-class match after playing the Pindi Test against Bangladesh in February 2020.
He admitted that he had played a good innings of 75 runs in this Test but after that he was not included in the tour of England and in this domestic season he played only T20 matches for Balochistan and not a first class match.
See also the performance of Harris Sohail in recent Test matches. Since 147 innings against New Zealand in Dubai in November 2018, he has managed to score only one half-century (75) and his second highest score after that is 34, while there are seven innings in which he Couldn't even come in double digits.
The team management's confidence in him in this performance is amazing.
Azhar Ali and Haris Sohail, who scored 93 in the first innings, successfully stopped the host bowlers for 13.4 overs but did not see any unusual movement on the scoreboard.
And when they were all out for just nine runs, captain Rizwan and Fawad Alam were wondering what color their resistance would bring this time.
But every day is not memorable for any batsman and both of them could not create problems for the host bowlers and paved the way for the arrival of tail enders.
Kyle escapes from Jamie Sun!
As the Pakistani cricket team was leaving for New Zealand, it was warned that not only Tim Southee, Trent Bolt and Neil Wagner, but also a new bowler, Kyle Jamie Sun, would be ready to receive them.
Kyle Jamie Sun's magic is in full swing this season. The six-foot-eight-inch-tall Jamie Sun took nine wickets in two Tests against India last year. He also took 11 wickets in two Tests against the West Indies. His 16 wickets in the series against Pakistan has been as important as Kane Williamson's in batting.
The New Zealand team also won the series and moved up to number one in the ICC World Test rankings. Her performance at home can be gauged from the fact that she has won eight Test series at home since losing to South Africa in March 2017.
