In First ODI New Zealand won the toss and elected to bowl first. Earlier, Pakistan were bowled out for a paltry score of 210. Shahid Afridi and Misbah-ul-Haq were the only saving grace for Pakistan as both managed to hit individual half-centuries to put Pakistan above the 200-run landmark. Shahid Afridi played a wonderful innings of 67 runs on just 29 balls. New Zealand chased the whole target of 211 run in the 40th over with three balls remains.
In 2nd ODI Pakistan may make some changes in their squad. Out of form Hafeez or Younis Khan may be replaced by Sohaib Maqsood. Sarfraz Ahmed may play at Number 2. Pakistan openers have to do and lot of work to strong their batting line-Up. If opener’s gives a strong start then Pakistan team shows some better result.
New Zealand on the other hand continuously performing well have a strong bowling and batting line-Up and also have opportunity of home ground. New Zealand will also leave a good impact on the 2015 World Cup starting from 14 February 2015. New Zealand will play their first ODI against Sri-Lanka on the opening day of ICC World Cup 2015.
