THE LOWDOWN
PAKISTAN
Pakistan were stunned by New Zealand last time out and their bowling attack will need to recover as appropriate after failing to defend 178 on what was admittedly an extremely batter-friendly wicket. Another frustration from Pakistan’s point of view will have been four players reaching the 30-run-mark, but none of them going on to reach at least the half-century point.
NEW ZEALAND
New Zealand were indebted to Mark Chapman for levelling up the series between these two nations after his blistering unbeaten knock of 87 from 42 balls helped take the Black Caps home in Rawalpindi, completing their 179-run chase with ten balls remaining. The entire top-order contributed with each of New Zealand’s top three scoring at least 20 runs.
THE PREDICTION
Another friendly batting surface is likely in Lahore, so expect these two teams to again look to pile on a big score depending on who bats first. However, Pakistan are expected to improve from a bowling perspective as the hosts certainly have another gear they can move into if required. Back them to bounce back at the first time of asking here and retake the lead in this series.
TIP: PAKISTAN TO WIN
