Pakistan’s middle rank hitter Fawad Alam and captain Mohammad Rezwan start a story. With only three wickets in hand, they came close to hitting the entire final day. He came close to remembering a test 32 years ago.
But in a dramatic victory, New Zealand snatched that story away. The Kiwis won the event by 101 runs if they could only hit 4.3 overs. In 1986, Pakistan hit 129 overs in the fourth inning against the West Indies. The game was tied with 1 window in hand. This time the Fawadras couldn’t do that.
Pakistan lost 3 wickets for 63 races on the fourth day of the Mount Mangnui test. The visitors had a goal of 302 races to win the final day. Pakistan certainly did not expect to score that run. It’s hard to say if you even dreamed of ending the day. On the morning of the fifth day, Azhar Ali, who scored 36 runs, returned.
But Fawad Alam turned the story around in the fifth and Mohammad Rezwan in the sixth. They made a name for themselves by hitting 72 overs. The pair did 175 races. Rezwan scored 60 runs and returned to the locker room. Fawad’s challenge was crossing 26 overs with five wickets in hand for the lower order.
But Fawad, who scored 102 runs, returned to the locker room after three overs. The bowlers then faced the challenge of hitting 23 overs. But despite trying to show determination, they couldn’t survive the final 4.3-overs fold. New Zealand won. Rise to the top of the test rankings.
Previously, New Zealand had 431 runs when hitting first. Pakistan made just 239 runs from the first inning. Rezwan and Fahim Ashraf also showed determination in the middle order in that inning. The rest failed miserably. The Kiwis declared the innings with 160 runs in the second innings. No one could do anything conspicuous for Pakistan except Fawad-Rezwan.
