Flat pitches have been a problem in Pakistan for many seasons. The lanes provided here do not always fill the bowling unit with gas. It’s always been mostly Oldball skill, making one side of the kookaburra shine brighter than the other. , something is clearly wrong with Test cricket in Pakistan, whether it is a lack of patience on the part of both cricketers and spectators. I hurt Babar Azam’s team who couldn’t do it anymore.
With the winds of change blowing in the PCB corridor, pitch is also getting quite a bit of attention. No wonder the pitch looks so different in their second friendly against New Zealand in Karachi. It looked greenish up to 24 hours before littering, and it’s probably still that way. It is currently unknown how much that grass will stand up and help him with the Seam bowler.
His second and final test in this series also begins with an interesting point. New Zealand looked decidedly better last week, but it wasn’t enough to break Pakistan’s resolve. In fact, Babar Azam surprised everyone with a sporting statement at the end.If the captain’s winning streak continues, this will be an interesting watch for the next five days.Kane Williamson’s form, Sarfaraz Ahmed’s confidence Not to mention a fulfilling comeback and more.
Both teams are happy with the win after his very tough year on the Red Ball Circuit. Pakistan he has won only one of his nine tests in 2022, while New Zealand has only narrowly won in his eight matches he has won twice.
