2019 World Cup finalists New Zealand will look to bounce back in the three-match ODI series against Pakistan after losing the first clash by six wickets on Monday. The Black Caps will take on Babar Azam’s Pakistan in the second ODI at the National Stadium in Karachi on Wednesday (January 11).

Debutant Henry Shipley could be a casualty of New Zealand’s opening defeat in their ODI series against Pakistan. Shipley bowled six tidy overs without reward in the six-wicket loss in Karachi but may be sacrificed due to the need for more spin in game two starting on Wednesday.


Kane Williamson’s side might look to bolster their spin attack with the addition of leg-spinner Ish Sodhi, who was the highest wicket-taker in the two-match Test series against Pakistan. Michael Bracewell and Mitchell Santner were New Zealand’s most dangerous bowlers and part-time off-spinner Glenn Phillips took the wicket of Pakistan captain Babar Azam, while Pakistan’s two frontline spinners kept the tourists in check during their innings and captured three wickets.


However, if coach Gary Stead wants to see more of Shipley at the top level, he could get a second run with either Tim Southee or Lockie Ferguson to miss out instead.
