The Second ODI match of the tri-series started between South Africa and New Zealand. New Zealand's decision to choose to bowl first is not too good because If South Africa's batsman scores 300 plus runs, then it will be very difficult for New Zealand to win it. South Africa current score is 100 runs just loss of single wicket in 21 overs of the first inning. Matthew Breetzke is playing debut match scoring 45 runs while Jason Smith is playing at 25 runs. Matthew Breetzke very close his well deserved median half century. Temba Bavuma is out after scoring 20 runs. from New Zealand, Will O'Rourke is the only successful bowler who picked the wicket of Temba Bavuma. New Zealand needs to break the partnerships between Matthew Breetzke and Jason Smith if they want to come back in this match.
South Africa could not score 200 runs in 40 overs. South Africa's run rate is less than 5. Will South Africa be able to score 100 runs in the last 10 overs? I don't think so. It is very difficult to score 100 runs in the last 10 overs against New Zealand bowlers.
This Lahore pitch is not completely batting friendly. However, it is possible to score big on this pitch. The average score on this Lahore pitch in the first innings is 253 runs. South Africa may be able to easily achieve the target of 250+. However, since New Zealand is in good form at the moment, it is much more difficult to defeat New Zealand by setting a target below 300.
South Africa's total was below 200 runs at the end of 40 overs, but now, after 43 overs, South Africa's total has gone above 237 runs. Usually, three wickets have fallen, meaning the next batsmen will bat aggressively, which can lead to a run total approaching 300. Although Lahore is a bowling friendly pitch, New Zealand and South Africa are batting at their own pace in the first match and the second match, respectively, and both teams are able to score over 300 runs. Pakistan is not performing well at the venue where it is supposed to bat well, but other teams are performing well.
Yes, it is quite a strange situation that Pakistan is not able to perform well in its home conditions. If your South Africa and New Zealand perform well, yesterday New Zealand had given a target of 330 runs, and today South Africa team has given a target of 305 runs, so it looks like a batting pitch, based on the calculation and recent matches it's look like batting track but Pakistan bastman have lack of confidence except Babar Azam and Falhar Zaman. In today match South Africa scored a huge total 305 runs against New Zealand. Matthew Breetzke debut bastman of South Africa played an outstanding inning scored highest ODI debut runs one hundred and fifty runs. New Zealand is my favorite team to win this match against South Africa
