Pakistan v New Zealand Dec 26, 2022- Jan 14, 2023 (2 Tests & 3 ODIs)

[Plugger35]

Fascinating battle here at Karachi.

Williamson playing the sheet anchor and Mitchell trying to up the pace.

The Pakistan spinners providing a challenge to both batsmen, it's not easy.

 

[Plugger35]

That was never out, Babar should have knocked back that lbw review from Salman.

Now Salman picks up Mitchell anyway with a dolly of a catch.

It's all happening here at Karachi.

 

[Plugger35]

I agree with Scotty Styris.

The reverse sweep from Mitchell wasn't the play there.

They were milking enough runs just playing the conventional shots.

 

[Plugger35]

Williamson run out.

We are in trouble now with a capital T.

 

[Plugger35]

Just slog Phillips it's our only chance.

 

[Plugger35]

Phillips goes bang for six.

Game on.

 

[Plugger35]

That's an even bigger six from Phillips.

That should be 12.

 

[Plugger35]

Latham bowled.

Now Santner needs to step up and start swinging.

 

[Plugger35]

Styris is liking Phillips approach here, he would do the same thing himself.

I wish he was batting with Phillips right now, those two would be unstoppable.

 

[Plugger35]

Phillips has just put Rauf into the stands again.

 

[Plugger35]

Now Phillips has put Wasim into the stands.

 

[Plugger35]

Rizwan dropping Phillips could be a game changer.

Tough chance but international cricket is a tough game.

 

[Plugger35]

Phillips smashing Hasnain for 4.

Less runs needed than balls now,

It's our game to lose.

 

[Plugger35]

Santner clean bowled.

Even Danny Morrison was shocked by his lack of batting defence which is saying something.

 

[Plugger35]

It's just me and Danny Morrison cheering on NZ now, I think Scotty Styris has gone to bed.

 

[Plugger35]

We are making hard work of this.

Sodhi out for a duck with just 2 runs left and now only 2 wickets left.

Play sensibly Southee, don't swing.

 

[Plugger35]

The Black Caps win!!!

Take a bow Glenn Phillips, he should be MOTM as that was a match winning knock.

Let's break open the champagne boys.
