Irfan: Pak just needs ones and twos to bag this match. NZ will regret their lack of acceleration in the 2nd half of their innings.

Faisal: NZ are probably 30 runs short. Their middle order, including skipper Latham, are guilty of not accelerating in the last 20 overs.

A Kumar: NZ's score feels underwhelming. Ought to have got to 300, even looking at just the last 5-6 overs. And at 173/2 after 33 overs, that's downright criminal. Advantage Pak at this stage, I think.

Samay Tiwari: Wow! How wonderful it feels to be watching some quality cricket in Pakistan after a looooong time!

Tobin: Despite not having the big names, NZ is playing really well.

Tobin: Rauf carries his good T20 form to ODI and reaps the reward.
