Pakistan's team, which went on a tour of New Zealand, has already lost the T20 series before 1-4. Now in the 3-match ODI series, he is also 0-1. But, he has a golden opportunity to convert this setback into a comeback in ODIs. This is because the 9th player is now out of the New Zealand ODI team. And when the 9 big names of the New Zealand team are not with him, then there will be a chance for Pakistan. The 9th player to be excluded is Mark Chapman, who will not be part of the team in the second ODI to be played in Hamilton.
In the first ODI against Pakistan, Mark Champman was the hero of New Zealand's victory.
He scored 132 runs in the first ODI, playing the biggest innings of his ODI career. But due to hamstring injury, he has to be out of another ODI. Chapman has an injury in the right namestring, which he had during fielding in the first ODI in Napier. In the MRI scan, it was found that Chapman has grade one tier injury.Mark Chapman will be the 9th big face which will not be a part of the New Zealand team in the second ODI. Apart from them, Kane Williamson, Rachin Ravindra, Trent Bolt, Mitchell Santner, Devan Conway, Glenn Philips, Lockey Ferguson and Matt Henry are not part of the ODI series.
The reason for most of these players being out of the series against Pakistan is IPL. They are either playing in the IPL or earning money by commenting.The second match of the ODI series between Pakistan and New Zealand is to be played in Hamilton on 2 April. Earlier, the first match was played in Napier, which New Zealand won by a big margin of 73 runs. It is also necessary for Pakistan to win their hopes of winning the series in Hamilton.
