NZ vs PAK 2016: Bowlers Help New Zealand Complete Clean Sweep At Hamilton
Nov 29, 2016 at 12:30 PM
At one point in time, it seemed like Pakistan will force a draw by batting whole day safely and steadily. The overnight pair of Sami Aslam and Azhar Ali batted for a period of 57 overs on the final day before Santner ended the wait for first blow by bowling out Pakistan skipper in 60th over.
At tea, Pakistan were just one down at a score of 167. They had to play just 31 overs with nine wickets still in hand but failed to survive in this much period.
There was an average difference of minimum ten overs amidst wickets but from over number 89 to 91 were so poor for them as they lost quick scalps.
In no time, the visitors dwindled from 218/6 to 230/10. This was the biggest upset for Pakistan as the top-order batsmen set the perfect stage for the middle-order but they just could not do what was expected from them. Pakistan lost nine wickets in the last session to script an epic loss in the history of Pakistan cricket.
By virtue of losing this game, Pakistan lost the Test series as well by a margin of 2-0.
