New Zealand tour of Pakistan 2022-23

Devon Conway paired up with skipper Kane Williamson to help New Zealand bounce back from opening defeat and jolt Pakistan by 79 runs in the second ODI in Karachi on Wednesday (January 11). While Conway hammered a scintillating 101 off 92, captain Kane notched up 85 off&nbsp;100 to help Kiwi post a total of 261. In reply, Pakistan got off to a shaky start and could only post 182 before going down to the hosts which left the series locked at 1-1 with a match to spare.

PAK vs NZ: Conway, Williamson-inspired New Zealand bounce back to beat Pakistan in 2nd ODI, series locked at 1-1

After the Test series debacle against England at home, the chorus for Babar Azam to step down as Pakistan skipper rose. Post that Pakistan managed to draw the two-match Test series against New Zealand and are off to a winning start in the three-match ODI series which kicked off on January 9 (Monday).&nbsp;&nbsp;Meanwhile, former Pakistan skipper and ex-coach Misbah-Ul-Haq made a huge claim by saying that some people in Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) are trying to weaken team's skipper Babar Azam's position. He went on to say that this will have an adverse impact on the team's dressing room.
