Pakistan vs New Zealand, 1st ODI


Tomorrow will be another competitive match between Pakistan and New Zealand. Two Tests were held between them, both were finished in draw. Betting sites shows Pakistan ahead but I can't say New Zealand is weak in any way. I think the Pakistan team is slightly favored to play at Pakistan's home ground. But that can not be a big distance. But since both the teams have good cricketers, it is difficult to say who will win.

I do not see how Pakistan team is favorite in the ODI when they had a miserable performances in the test series. Only having the matches in home ground does not grantee that they will win the ODI matches or the series. Just Remember that only the bad light saved the last test match, otherwise Pakistan had lost that one too.
For those who want to bet on the ODI match, i would suggest them to wait and see how the team perform in the first match. Based on that, a more comprehensive bet can be placed in 2nd ODI.

I do not know what you are trying to keep test cricket alive. If you have an issue with watching a cricket match for seven hours, how can you find time to watch a cricket match for five days? That is just not making sense to me.
I think the best idea is going to be getting rid of test cricket and only keeping the T-20 cricket format and reducing the One Day International cricket overs. It can be, 30– 40 or anything in between. I think that is the best approach for now.
For me, getting rid of the ODI format and keeping the T-20 and Test format does not make any sense at all.

Each format of cricket have got its importance. With test format cricket, it is the pure form of cricket which is the parameter to know the real ability of a cricketer. ODI is something different where the player has to be very precise in his/her gameplay. With T20 format cricket it is like a gamble, because in no time the match scenario changes.

I know that test cricket has the most amount of scale among any other formats of cricket. But I am not going to waste my time watching test cricket for five days, especially when I might not even see a result. Anyway, that’s my opinion.

One day match won't be end soon. If we think about future then the 50 over game may change a bit. Because people are getting busy day by day. The patience of sitting for 7-8 hours will be very difficult for the new generation. But we all know that there will be no change in the present time. Such discussions have been around for a long time in Test cricket as well. So, there will be no change in ODI cricket soon. Cricket is not gaining popularity in Europe today only because cricket is a long time game. Due to which the popularity of short form cricket is increasing.

Right now, the popularity of cricket is not too bad in my opinion. And that’s why I don’t think too many changes are going to be applied. Except for the test format. Test cricket is not very appealing right now for the viewers. I think test cricket needs some serious changes. Otherwise, it is eventually going to die out and nothing will be able to be done.

I think so. Watching the first match would have given a better idea. Risk is a common thing in betting. But if we understand the current performance of the two teams, the chances of winning in betting will be more. A three-match ODI series will be held. Since New Zealand played well in the Test match, they will play well in the ODIs as well. There is no chance to think of them as weak. But playing at Pakistan's home ground, they too will be desperate to do well. Bets can be taken on the 2nd ODI if we want to reduce the risk.

Pakistan and Newzealand are equally good teams and tomorrow the match is going to be a competitive one. Pakistan will come back to its original form eventually and will give good performance.

The One Day International is going to start again from tomorrow where Pakistan vs New Zealand will be played on the first day. As Pakistan cricket is very strong in the game, they are given priority in the prediction that Pakistan will win the first ODI match against New Zealand.I think so too and I'm pretty sure that Pakistan will beat New Zealand by a narrow margin if not too much to do something like that.

The ODI match between Pakistan and Newzealand will be again played in the same Karachi stadium where the previous test matches were played. I hope this time the pitch doesn't act weird like it did in the test matches. It would be intresting to see whether it helps bowlers or not. Hoping to see a competitive game of cricket today and not a dull one.

The 1st ODI match of Pakistan vs New Zealand is going to start again today. This game will start at National Stadium, Karachi. I am waiting to see which of these two teams will win today. This match will be a very tough fight.  Pakistan and New Zealand these two teams are very strong. Pakistan has performed well in bowling and batting in almost every game. Waiting to see how they will play in today's match.

Looking forward to see the first ODI match at Karachi stadium.  The first match between two good teams is Pakistan vs New Zealand.  It is expected that the match will see a lot of good performance from both the sides.  But if Pakistan bat first then I think they will be able to give a target of more than 350 runs.  But if Pakistan can score more than 350 runs then New Zealand will not be able to cross that easily. Anyway I am waiting for the match to start to see how the excitement is in the ODI match on the first day of play

First ODI will show the ability of the both teams. As you said Pakistan can make 350 runs. So I also think that Pakistan can make 300+ runs easily. I am also waiting for the match. And I hope Pakistan will show its good performance in this ODI as compare to Test matches. By the way let see what happen.

First ODI toss won by Pakistan and they've decided to bowl first. Soon match gonna begin, and the white ball performance is on the way. Shaheen Afridi and Shadab Khan out of the series seems to increase the winning chance of New Zealand. Batting first Convoy and Finn Allen opening the innings could give a good start.

I have to say Pakistan started really well. They have already got one wicket and have only given three runs. 2.4 overs have been bowled. New Zealand is finding it really hard early on. They will have to stay in the middle and make sure that they do not lose any more wickets at least in the first 10 overs. Right now it feels like Pakistan made the right decision of bowling first.

New Zealand lost 1 wicket for the first 2 runs. and D.conway lost by scoring 0 runs. If this happens they will lose badly against Pakistan. And such events are destroying their own morale. Will New Zealand need to play tougher and save their wickets for the full fifty overs if they want to turn around. But my prediction seems that New Zealand will not be able to cope with Pakistan

Pakistan bowled the first two overs with immense accuracy but then when Finn Allen started counter attacking they started spraying the ball and luckily for Pakistan Agha Salman took a splendid catch to dismiss Finn Allen if not he would have taken the match away within the first 10 overs. New Zealand still have a good batting line up and i am expecting a good match.

The 1st ODI match has started.  New Zealand came to bat in this match.  New Zealand scored 107 runs in 22 overs.  New Zealand have lost 3 wickets so far.  Pakistan started performing well.  Pakistan's Naseem Shah bowled 4 overs and took 1 wicket with 20 runs. If New Zealand can perform well in batting in this match, they can score 280 runs in this match.

Pakistan has got wickets of top 4 New Zealand batsmen.  Current score of New Zealand is 142/4. Tom Latham is not out on 41 and Pakistan must get him out as quickly as possible. Its a 50 over game and if Pakistan can restrict Newzealand to 250 only then they have some chance.

Newzealand 5 wickets gone already on 154 runs and 35 overs played till now.  Pakistan balling side kind of restricted Newzealand batting lineup to score a big target . If run rate goes like this Kiwis will score maximum of 250 runs in 50 overs .
Main concern is Pakistan batting let's see what PCB have done about that.

[Patrol69]

The New Zealand cricket team went into bat against Pakistan and managed to score 255 runs for 9 wickets in the scheduled 50 overs.  Michael Bracewell played the highest run innings for the New Zealand team. He was able to play an innings of 43 runs off 42 balls.  None of the team could score a half century.  However, Pakistan pacer Naseem Shah has won everyone's hearts.  He bowled a career best against New Zealand. He bowled 10 overs and took five valuable wickets at the cost of 57 runs. 255 runs against a team like Pakistan in 50 overs isn't a very fighting scorer.  Let's see though as the world famous New Zealand team has something to say.  Hopefully, after the break, the New Zealand cricket team will bowl to win.

New Zealand scored 255 runs which may not be enough on this pitch at Karachi. Almost every player chipped in but since the New Zealand kept on losing wickets on regular intervals, so they never got a chance to accelerate at any moment.

Pakistan started well and did not lose any wicket at 14 runs. If Pakistan just do not lose the wickets in this match, they will surely win this match.
From New Zealand point of view, they need to take wickets else the match will be out of their control.

Pakistan is in good position after 14 overs scoring 69 runs losing a wicket. Fakhar at 35 runs and Babar Azam at 22 runs on the crease. The two is getting closer making 50 partnership. New Zealand bowlers need to take more early wickets without which winning is not possible. For New Zealand every player except Convoy had their contribution. For Pakistan Naseem Shah had his five wicket haul.

Pakistan batting is surprisingly good today , fakhar zaman and Babar Azam build a good partnership. Pakistan is on 108 runs only 1 wicket gone and in 23 overs .
If they continue to bat like this they'll win this match. 
Newzealand ballers are spinning the ball to take wickets quickly.
