- BOULT HAT-TRICK RATTLED PAKISTAN - A NIGHTMARE BATTING COLLAPSE:
Kiwis thrashed Pakistan in 1st ODI. New Zealand won the toss and invited Pakistan to bowl first. On the score of 13 Shaheen got Worker's wicket. Kiwis lost their 2nd wicket on 36 and 3rd wicket on 78 runs. After than Latham and Taylor made a brilliant partnership and took their score to 208 when they lose their 3 wickets in Shadab's over. In the next over Imad strike and took the 7th wicket when Kiwis was on 210 runs. Through the late assault of Sodhi and Southee New Zealand managed to put a fighting total of 267 runs. Hasan Ali and Junaid Khan conceded 62 and 59 runs in their 9 overs without picking any wicket. Shadab and Shaheen took 4 wickets and 1 wicket was for Imad.
Pakistan's batting line up proved a titbit for Black Caps. In 3rd over, Trent Boult stunned Pakistan by picking up a Hat-Trick. He got Fakhar, Babar and Hafeez in 3 consecutive balls which changed the master map of the game. This was the time when Kiwis grasp on the match and took it far away from Pakistan. After that disastrous collapse Imam-ul-Haq And Shoaib Malik built a good partnership. In 17th over Imam got out after making 34 runs and right after him in the next over Malik threw his wicket when he scored 30 runs. In 22nd over Shadab was given out by umpire, it wasn't out but as Pakistan wasted their review in the 3rd over when Hafeez got out on a Hat-Trick ball and he went for an injudicious review which cost Pakistan a wicket. Then captain Sarfaraz Ahmed and Imad Wasim built a good partnership and took Pakistan back into game, when Sarfaraz gifted his wicket after scoring 64 runs. Pakistan lost the momentum at that time, after completing his half century Imad offered a catch and lose his wicket. New Zealand wrapped Pakistan's innings in 48th over on 219 runs and won the match by 47 runs.
It's a wake up call for team Pakistan and selection committee. If a player is not in a good touch then why committee is selecting him again and again putting pressure not only on the individual but on the team too. It's time to make some strong and brave decisions for World Cup before it get too late.
