BLACKCAPS CLINCH THE SERIES IN STYLE! They outperform the Men in Green, even without their best player from the previous game, with a strong performance that gives them an insurmountable 2-0 advantage. This triumph confirms New Zealand's position as a major force on the global scene and demonstrates the amazing depth of their game.
Taking full advantage of the cloudy conditions, New Zealand's bowlers were on fire from the first delivery, giving Pakistan no chance in this chase.  With an early breakthrough, Will O'Rourke set the tone. He and Jacob Duffy bowled together, the latter taking two wickets, including the valuable one of Babar.
The pair was simply unplayable; they kept things tight and unsettled the hitters with some furious short balls, even though they didn't take any more wickets.  Nathan Smith added one and Ben Sears took advantage of the pressure by hitting twice in his opening over. Even though Duffy added another wicket to his total, Sears was the star of the show, finishing with an incredible five-wicket haul.
Pakistan needed its senior players to step up, though, since they were chasing nearly 300, but they failed once more. They must reconsider as they go back to the drawing board to find solutions.
Earlier in the match,Mitchell Hay's remarkable unbeaten knock of 99 runs helped New Zealand reach 292 for eight in the second One Day Internationsk of the three-match series versus Pakistan at the Seddon Park in Hamilton on Wednesday.
Asked to bat first by Pakistani skipper Mohammad Rizwan, the brand new opening pair of the Kiwis, Nick Kelly &amp; Rhys Mariu got off to a solid start, putting a 50-run stand for the opening wicket. However, their partnership got broken in the 6th over when the former was dismissed by seamer Haris Rauf after playing a good hand of 31 runs in 23 balls, leaving the hosts at 54-1.
In the 10th over, the Michael Bracewell-led side lost their second opening batter, Mariu, for 18 runs, as fast-bowling all-rounder Mohammad Wasim jr, dealt a blow to the hosts, leaving them under pressure at the score of 71-2.Daryl Mitchell, who walked out to bat at number four, played a run a ball knock of 18 runs in 18 deliveries before perishing to Sufiyan Muqeem, leaving New Zealand at 100-3.
The Blackcaps kept losing wickets at regular intervals, and in the very next over of the innings, Henry Nicholls (22 runs) got out after being caught plumb in front of the stumps and his dismissal left his team at a struggling score of 102-4 in 16.5 overs.
The duo of Muhammad Abbas and Captain Michael Bracewell then got involved in a partnership of 30 runs for the fifth wicket as they tried to steady the innings. However, Wasim Jr struck once again, removing the latter for 17 runs, further reducing the home side to 132-5 in 26.3 overs.
Following the dismissla of the New Zealand captain, wicketkeeper batter Mitchell Hay arrived at the crease and he alongside Abbas (41 runs) got involved in an important partnership of 77 runs for the sixth wicket and this relieved some pressure and helped their team reach a more combative position. However, Chinaman spinner Muqeem had some other plans as he ended the partnership of the two batter by getting rid of Abbas, which further reduced the hosts to 209-6 in 40 overs.
Despite the constant fall of wickets, Mitch Hay carried playing with composure, bringing up his maiden fifty in the format in 51 balls. However, Hay started to run out of partners at the other end as Faheen Ashraf dealt the Kiwis their seventh blow, getting the wicket of Nathan Smith (8 runs). This dismissal left the Black Caps at 236-7 in 45.1 overs.
New Zealand stood at 270-8 in 49 overs when Pakistan's captain, Muhammad Rizwan, ran out Ben Sears for a duck, costing the Blackcaps their eighth wicket.To help his team reach 292, Hay charged at Wasim Jr. in the final over and hit two fours and two sixes, attempting to set up a defendable total and win the series.
Although Pakistan's bowlers were able to claim wickets, they also gave up 32 extras, which included 12 leg byes and 20 wides.Faheem Ashraf, Akif Javed, and Haris Rauf each took one wicket, while Sufiyan Muqeem and Muhammad Wasim Jr. each claimed two.

The second ODI between New Zealand and Pakistan will take place on April 2 at Seddon Park, Hamilton, with New Zealand leading the series 1-0 after a 73-run victory in the first match. In that game, Mark Chapman's 132 and Muhammad Abbas' record-breaking 52 on debut helped New Zealand post 344/9, while Pakistan fell short despite Babar Azam's 78. Nathan Smith's 4/60 was key for New Zealand.  

Ahead of the match, Pakistan may field a lineup including Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Haris Rauf, while New Zealand, missing Chapman due to injury, could rely on Tim Seifert, Daryl Mitchell, and Nathan Smith. The pitch in Hamilton is balanced but favors bowlers in the second innings, with overcast conditions and possible rain forecast.  

Fantasy cricket picks highlight players like Babar Azam, Daryl Mitchell, Agha Salman, and Muhammad Abbas as top choices for captain and vice-captain roles. Two suggested Dream11 teams emphasize a mix of batters, all-rounders, and bowlers from both sides.

Pakistan versus New Zealand 2nd ODI: The second match of the three-match ODI series being played between New Zealand and Pakistan is to be played on Wednesday, April 2 at Seddon Park in Hamilton. This match is very important for the Kiwi team, because by winning this match, they have a chance to take an unassailable lead in the series.
Currently, the Michael Bracewell-led side are leading the series by 1-0. But before the second ODI, New Zealand has suffered a major setback. Black Caps batsman Mark Chapman will not be able to play in the second ODI against Pakistan in Hamilton due to a right hamstring injury. Let us tell you that in the first ODI, Chapman scored a brilliant century and was also the Player of the Match.
<h2>He was injured while fielding in the first ODI</h2>
According to the news report of New Zealand Cricket, the left-handed batter suffered an injury while fielding during the first ODI in Napier and a subsequent MRI scan revealed a grade one tear, which will require a short period of rehab. The 30-year-old scored a career-best 132 in the series opener. He will now return to Auckland for rehab with an aim to be available for the third and final ODI at Bay Oval on Saturday.
<h2>Tim Seifert replaces Chapman in the team</h2>
Top order batsman Tim Seifert has been included in the New Zealand squad as a replacement for the 30-year-old. Seifert has joined the team after a memorable KFC T20I series against the same opposition, where he scored 249 runs at an average of 62 and was also the top scorer.
<h2>'Hamstring injury is minor'</h2>
Gary Stead, the head coach of the Kiwis said the injury is unfortunate for Chapman and the team. "It is certainly disappointing news for Mark after playing a very special innings in the first ODI in Napier. However, his hamstring injury is minor, so we hope Mark will complete his rehab and be available for selection in the last match of the series against Pakistan', he said.

After the defeat in the Champions Trophy, Pakistan's captain Mohammad Rizwan was not made a part of the T20 team. He also spent this free time by doing his Haj pilgrimage and playing club Cricket. But with changing days, his and the team's fortunes did not change. He made a comeback in the One Day International series for the first time since the conclusion of the ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025. But he again faced defeat in the first match.
In the first ODI of the three-match series played at McLean Park, New Zealand again defeated them by 73 runs. This is Pakistan's fourth consecutive defeat against the Kiwi team, first in the Tri Nation Series and then in the Champions Trophy. Mohammad Rizwan expressed his views after the disappointing defeat.
<blockquote>
In the post-match press conference, he said about the team's performance, "The way we started the second innings, we played with good intentions and did the necessary things to chase the target. We were close, but as the pressure increased, the course of the match changed in those crucial three to four overs."
Praising the initial performance of the bowlers, Rizwan said, "Our bowlers were brilliant in the beginning. They adapted themselves to the conditions of New Zealand and bowled brilliantly. The decision to bowl first was right. However, Chapman played brilliantly, which helped New Zealand score a competitive score. We need to improve further in taking advantage of important opportunities."
Describing the experience of the new players as positive, he said, "The inclusion of three new players today was very good for their development. Playing in the challenging conditions of New Zealand is a valuable experience." Despite the defeat, he expressed hope for the upcoming matches. "The outcome wasn't what we were hoping for, but we still have two more chances," Rizwan stated. "We'll reorganize and return more powerful".
</blockquote>
If we look at the condition of this match, despite the best efforts of Babar Azam and Salman Ali Agha, Pakistan lost by 73 runs. Chasing the target of 345 runs, Usman Khan (39) and Abdullah Shafiq (36) gave a strong start by sharing 83 runs. Babar (78) and Rizwan (30), who returned to the ODI team, tried to handle the innings, but Pakistan's innings faltered as soon as Babar was out in the 39th over.
Apart from Salman Ali Agha (58), no other batsman could survive and the team was reduced to 271 runs in 44.1 overs. Nathan Smith bowled brilliantly for New Zealand with figures of 4/60.
Earlier, Akif Javed's lethal bowling had reduced New Zealand to 50/3, but Chapman (132) and Mitchell's (76) 199-run partnership turned the match around. Both of them made a record partnership. After this, Mohammad Abbas finally scored 50 runs in 24 balls and took the team to 344/9. For Pakistan, Irfan Khan took 3 wickets, while Haris Rauf and Akif Javed took 2-2 wickets each.

The SRH vs MI match on April 23, 2025, at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is crucial for both teams, especially for Mumbai Indians, who are closer to qualifying for the playoffs with four wins so far. Sunrisers Hyderabad, with only two wins, are on the verge of elimination and must win all remaining matches to stay in contention. The pitch heavily favors batsmen, making it a high-scoring ground, and the team batting first has a 60% win rate. Mumbai holds the upper hand in head-to-head records, winning 13 out of 23 matches. However, SRH’s home advantage and aggressive batters like Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma could still turn the game around.
