New Zealand vs Pakistan, ICC World Cup 2019: Key players from the Men in Green to watch out for
Sarfaraz Ahmed led Pakistan cricket team will take on Kane Williamson’s New Zealand team today at Edgbaston cricket ground at 3 PM IST.
After a humiliating loss against the Men in Blue, the Pakistan cricket team registered a solid 49 runs victory against South Africa, announcing their comeback in the tournament. Even though the team ranks seventh in the points table currently, they will look forward to win all their upcoming matches in order to reach the semi-finals. Let’s have a look at their key players to watch out for in this clash against the Black Caps.
1. Mohammad Amir- Mohammad Amir will play a vital role in restricting the New Zealand batsmen to a low score. With 15 wickets to his credit in the tournament so far, he is the third highest wicket taker and has risen up in crucial situations for the team. Against South Africa, he claimed two crucial wickets for the team with an economy of 4.90 in his 10-over spell. Pakistan will rely heavily on this bowler in order to claim a spot in the semi-finals.
2. Haris Sohail- This Pakistani batsman was the main factor in their impressive win against the Proteas. He was named as the Player of the Match for his brilliant knock of 89 runs in a must win clash against South Africa. When the entire Pakistan batting line-up struggled against the South African bowlers, it was Sohail who took the responsibility. He smashed a brilliant 89 runs of only 59 deliveries with an exceptional strike rate of 150.85.
