New Zealand's another easy win against Pakistan in the second T20I of the five-match series on Tuesday, beating them by six wickets in a rain-shortened game. Pakistan scored 135/9 in 15 overs, but New Zealand chased it down without trouble. Just like in the first match, Pakistan's bowlers couldn’t handle the pressure, and even their top pacer, Shaheen Afridi, was conceded 26 runs in an over by New Zealand's batters.

Shaheen Afridi had tough times against New Zealand, giving away 31 runs in his three overs, with 26 coming in just one over. New Zealand wicketkeeper-batter Tim Seifert went after him, smashing four sixes, with a 119-meter six hit at the University Oval in Dunedin.

Pakistan gave a better fight in the second T20I compared to the first match. Captain Salman Agha admitted the improvement during the post-match presentation. With the series now at 0-2, Pakistan can’t afford another loss. The skipper has urged the top order to step up in the powerplay if they want to bounce back in the next match in the series.

“It was freezing out there. But this game was much better than the last one. We batted well, our fielding was great, and our bowling was decent in parts. We need to adjust to the bounce better. After the powerplay, we bowled well, and Haris was impressive. But we have to do better in the powerplay, both in batting and bowling,” he said.

<![CDATA[The Hundred Show No Pakistan Players Picked At The Draft]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/the-hundred-show-no-pakistan-players-picked-at-the-draft/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/the-hundred-show-no-pakistan-players-picked-at-the-draft/ Thu, 13 Mar 2025 14:55:50 GMT

The Hundred Tournament is a new format of the game that occurs in England and Wales which was introduced by ECB in 2021 to increase the fast pace of the game. It's a format where each team faces 100 balls per innings irrespective of the wickets. The tournament consists of eight teams and the matches were back-to-back conducted on the same grounds. The interesting thing about it is the tickets you bought are applicable for both men's and women's matches. 

The eight teams that compete in the tournament are Birmingham Phoenix, London Spirit, Manchester Originals, Northern Superchargers, Southern Brave, Trent Rockets, Welsh Fire, and London Superchargers. It has some unique confrontation of the game and the salaries offered are double which attracts more and more players which designates the other three formats of the game.

Format And Its Former Winners

During the Hundred format each teams plays eight matches at their group stages seperating four away and four home matches. The top 3 highest points considered teams moves to the knockout stage where the final commences at the Lord's Ground which is considered as the mecca of cricket. Last year in 2024 Oval invincibles claimed the title which was considered as mega blockbuster show and was considered as frontline entertainment stride. 

In this year's 100 tournament, many players have drafted their names. As the salary offered is double that the other leagues expect the IPL and the window gates won't too clash as the tournament commences in August where players get ample time, but it's not easy to be drafted into this league which consists of heavy competition where players are picked more carefully and the players who have the reputation of hitting big hits and constrain along with the game are only picked.

Pakistan Players Were Not Preferred In Draft

Its been reported that total 45 Pakistani players registered for the tournament but none of them were selected which was the center talk of the highlights. Players like Naseem Shah, Shadab khan, Imad Wasim and Saheen Shah Afridi registered their names but intrestingly none of them were picked. It has created a wide spread debate why Pakistan players have been neglected from the drafts. 

Even though some of the overseas slots were remaining empty. Yet the reason behind this decision has not yet been disclosed which leads to speculation about potential factors influencing team selections. Though New Zealand and Australian players gained huge contracts where former Australian captain Steve Smith was picked by Welsh Fire. Another point of negligence would be the performance of the players because the drafts are picked according to the current forms too.

ICC Men's ODI Team of the Year 2024 Announced: No Place for Indian, Australian, or England Players

The ICC just released the Men's ODI Team of the Year for 2024, and none of the major names from India, Australia, South Africa, or England have any players in it. Instead, the team's filled with four players from Sri Lanka, three from Pakistan, and a couple from Afghanistan which is of major importance because it shows how these countries are stepping up their cricket game in the Modern Cricket.

Pakistan's Saim Ayub and Rahmanullah Gurbaz from Afghanistan are the openers. Ayub has scored an impressive 515 runs in just nine matches, and Gurbaz isn't far behind with 531 runs. Additionally, there is Sri Lanka's Pathum Nissanka taking the No. 3 spot with his amazing 694 runs in 12 matches, followed by Sri Lanka's captain, Charith Asalanka, and Kusal Mendis, who both have impressive scores too.

Adding to the lineup, West Indies' Sharfane Rutherford made the chance  because of his very powerful batting, achieving up 429 runs. The all rounder slot goes to Azmatullah Omarzai from Afghanistan , he's been amazing with both bat and ball. As for the bowlers, Wanindu Hasaranga from Sri Lanka is leading the spin department with his 26 wickets, and he's joined by Afghanistan's young spinner Allah Ghazanfar. Then you have the fast bowlers, Pakistan's Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf, who have been unfathomably effective in taking wickets. But there is a fact that we can take it as a sure thing that the inclusion of players, mainly from Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, sends a clear message cricket is changing.

This year, the ICC picked its ODI Team of the Year and it really showed how Asian teams are taking over the 50 over game. Major players such as Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Jasprit Bumrah from India, and stars from usually strong teams like Australia and England weren't chosen. This is a major change in cricket. People who love cricket and those who study the game are going to watch how these players do next year. They're also watching to see if Asian teams stay ahead in ODI cricket.
