Pakistan vs New Zealand (5th ODI) – Highlights

Yesterday, Pakistan and New Zealand faced off in the final match of the five-match ODI series at the Pakistan National Stadium, Karachi. Batting first in that match, New Zealand set a good target to avoid a series of whitewash. After chasing that target, Pakistan collapsed before the end of the scheduled 50 overs. As a result, Pakistan lost for the first time in this series. Along with this, Henry Shipley won the Man of the Match title and Fakhar Zaman won the Man of the Series award for New Zealand.

 

Losing the opening four games in a five-match series. The series loss against Pakistan for New Zealand is already completed. While Babar Azam’s last game was merely a formality, New Zealand was determined to avoid the embarrassment of whitewashing. That mission was currently accomplished by Kiwis. They avoided the embarrassment of a loss by defeating Pakistan by 47 runs in the most recent game.

 

In that match, New Zealand was bowled out after winning the toss and choosing to bat first. They scored 299 runs in 49.3 overs. Pakistan’s response saw them dismissed for 252 runs in 46.1 overs. With a victory for New Zealand in the last match, the outcome was 4-1 in the series.

 

New Zealand’s top order displayed a lot of tenacity when batting first. With the help of Will Young, Tom Blundell, Henry Nicholls, Tom Latham, and Mark Chapman, New Zealand was able to score 299 runs.

 

Will Young, the opener, managed a maximum of 87 runs off 91 balls. He had 8 boundaries and 2 sixes. In 22 balls, Tom Blundell scored 15 runs. In 30 balls, Henry Nicholls scored 23 runs. Tom Latham, the captain, was out after making 59 runs off 58 balls. In 33 balls, Mark Chapman scored 43 runs. Rachin Ravindra scored 28 off 20 balls, and Cole McConchie scored 26 off 25.

 

Usama Mir and Shadab Khan each grabbed two wickets, while Shaheen Shah Afridi took three for Pakistan with 46 runs. Mohammad Wasim and Haris Rauf both took one wicket.

 

As soon as New Zealand scored 299 runs, Pakistan was in danger of having to respond. Three wickets were lost for 52 runs. Babar Azam, who made a century in the last game, left with one run after Shan Masood was dismissed for 7 runs. Mohammad Rizwan, who was assigned to bat at position four, left the field after 15 balls and 9 runs were scored.

 

After the team had amassed 66 runs, opener Fakhar Zaman was also ejected. Fakhar performed admirably in this series. He scored 33 runs in 64 balls. However, the remarkable partnership for the fifth wicket was created by Agha Salman and Iftikhar Ahmed. Together, these two batted for 97 runs.

 

The pair, who had hopes of winning the match, were, however, broken by Henry Shipley’s ball. With 57 runs off 57 balls, Agha Salman replied with a catch in Tom Latham’s hands off Shipley. Then, Iftikhar Ahmed did not have enjoyable company from the successive hitters.  Shadab Khan scored 14 runs off 14 balls and Usama Mir scored 20 off 15.

 

However, depending on the bowling of the bowlers, the Kiwis bowled out Pakistan for only 252 runs. With 34 runs, Henry Shipley captured 3 wickets. With 3 wickets, Rachin Ravindra spent 65 runs. Besides, Ish Sodhi, Matt Henry, and Adam Milne each claimed one wicket.

Rajasthan Royals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad (Match 52) – Highlights

Every match in this year’s IPL is ending dramatically. For example, on Sunday (May 7), viewers witnessed a dramatic match between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Sunrisers won by 4 wickets by hitting a six in the last ball.

 

Sunrisers needed 5 runs from the last ball, Abdul Samad was on the wicket. Samad was caught by Jos Buttler at long-off while picking up Sandeep Sharma, who has become the Royals’ death bowling specialist.

 

RR fans burst into joy after seeing the victory of their favorite team on their ground in Jaipur. Sandeep also closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had won the team. But nobody was prepared for what happened next.

 

No ball siren sounded! It was seen on the TV replay that Sandeep had crossed the popping crease. As a result, Sunrisers got a ball as well as an extra run. Sunrisers get a free hit because of a no-ball. Sandeep had to do the last ball again.

 

This time, Samad did not make any mistakes in timing. He hit a six straight over the site screen and gave SRH an incredible win. In this victory, Sunrisers came to the 9th place after pushing Delhi Capitals (DC) to the bottom. At the same time, they saved the possibility of reaching the playoffs also.

 

Earlier, RR won the toss and decided to bat. Batting first, they lost only 2 wickets in the scheduled 20 overs and got a huge capital of 214 runs. RR picked up 61 runs, losing one wicket in 6 overs of power play. The young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who is in great form, returned to the dressing room by Marco Jansen for the team’s 54 runs. He scored 35 runs off 18 balls with 5 fours and 2 sixes.

 

After that, Buttler and Samson made a big partnership of 138 runs from 80 balls in the 2nd wicket. However, being only 5 runs away from the century, Buttler returned to the pavilion through lbw by pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar. His innings of 95 off 59 balls had 10 fours and 4 sixes. Samson (66 from 38 balls; 4 fours and 5 sixes) and Shimron Hetmyer (7 from 5 balls) finally left the field unbeaten.

 

However, cricket lovers have repeatedly seen this IPL that the collection is not safe even after scoring two hundred. And it happened this time too. Samson’s team could not even defend 214 runs. The Sunrisers’ batsmen started batting aggressively from the beginning after coming down to bat on this huge target. 51 runs from the opening pair. On this day, everyone got a run with the bat.

 

Even though the opener Anmolpreet Singh returned with 33, the rampage of the Sunrisers’ batsmen did not stop. Rahul Tripathi (47 runs from 29 balls) started batting devastatingly after dropping to three. On the other hand, another opener Abhishek Sharma returned to the pavilion with 55 off 34 balls. After that, SRH started to win in small cameos.

 

With an even number of 2 fours and sixes, Heinrich Klaasen scored 26 off 12 balls. Moreover, wicket-keeper batsman Glenn Phillips played an efficient inning of 25 runs off 7 balls with 1 four and 3 sixes. And in the end, Samad left the field after scoring an unbeaten 17 runs off 7 balls to bring the team a dramatic victory. This is the third-highest run-chase win in IPL history and the highest by Sunrisers.

 

Yuzvendra Chahal took the maximum of 4 wickets for RR with 29 runs in 4 overs. Besides, Ravichandran Ashwin and Kuldip Yadav took 1 wicket each. However, the Royals suffered a big blow to reach the knockout phase with this loss. They are now placed 4th in the points table.
