The tour of New Zealand was very poor for Pakistan. The team also lost in the ODI series after the T20 series. In the 3 -match ODI series, New Zealand made a clean sweep to Pakistan. A strange incident was also seen during the last match of this series. Actually, during the batting of Pakistan, there was darkness in the field. This incident happened due to problems in flood light, due to which the match had to be stopped for some time.
Due to rain, this match between the two teams was played for 42-42 overs. During this time, this incident happened in the 39th over of Pakistan's innings. Then Jacob Dafi was bowling. Then Jacob was going to throw the fourth ball of Dafi over, so due to lightning, there was a sudden darkness in the field. As soon as the light went, the fans were seen burning flash lights of their respective phones. At the same time, the players appeared unhappy with this incident. However, the light came back shortly and the match was completed. The video of this incident is now becoming quite viral on social media. Let me tell you, this was not the first such incident on the cricket field. Even before this, electricity has been lost in the field on many occasions.
In this match, Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan won the toss and decided to bowl first. At the same time, New Zealand, batting first, scored 264 runs at the loss of 8 wickets in 42 overs. During this, captain Michael Bracewell played an important innings. The New Zealand team had lost 4 wickets at a score of 164 at one time. After this, Michael Bracewell scored 59 runs in 40 balls and took the team to this score.
On the other hand, Pakistan's team collapsed at 220 in 40 overs in response to the target of 265 runs. During this time, there was a lot of fatal bowling from Ben Sires. Ben Cires took 5 wickets for just 34 runs in 9 overs. At the same time, Pakistan's team could not make any big partnership. Babar Azam scored the highest 50 runs. Apart from him, no player could touch the 40 -run figure.
