Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]
New Zealand have a good start to this tri nation series. In the previous match, they beat Pakistan and today they beat South Africa by 6 wickets. The target given by South Africa wasn't too small. In fact the innings by Matthew Breetzke where he made 150 runs was one of the best innings to watch. He hit 11 fours and 5 sixes in that innings but unluckily he was not able to make his team win.
New Zealand played equally well and their captain played a brilliant knock of 133 runs. Although he is the player of the match and everyone is talking about his innings, Devon Conway played equally well. He could not complete his century, was out on 97 runs but it was an important innings. It was this partnership due to which they won this match.
In this exciting tri series, New Zealand seems to be a very changing team, in fact, they have been able to win two consecutive matches. They have already won against Pakistan and even against South Africa. In this series, the New Zealand team won two matches as they reached the final match. Ken Williamson did the most important performance against Pakistan in the first match, and Ken Williamson is the most important performance against South Africa in today's match, this batsman currently is in a truly incredible form. The New Zealand team may be trying to complete their Champions League preparations well through these matches.New Zealand played equally well and their captain played a brilliant knock of 133 runs.

Since both the teams have lost, the next match is very important for each of them. Even though Pakistan has the home advantage, if they cannot win the next match, it will be their failure. There was a possibility of winning against New Zealand in the first match but the Pakistan team failed to show its long-term batting skills. And because of that, they lost the match. If they cannot play the final at their own venue, they will have to go through a difficult time.
