Pakistan Super League 2024

 Pakistan Super League contained some great action and players for the future for Pakistan cricket team. Pakistan found talented players like Usman Khan and Mehran Mumtaz who will serve Pakistani cricket in future. This tournament also proved to be a comeback for Mohammad Amir and Imad Wasim who have returned to the Pakistan National side.

Mohammad Amir had a lot of cricket left in him when he retired from international cricket. He still swings the ball in both directions and has not lost his ability. Imad Wasim is a valuable allrounder and proved himself to be match winner as his team Islamabad United lifted the PSL 2024 trophy.

Islamabad United proved to be a strong and resilient team as they won three knockout matches in a row to lift the trophy. Lahore Qalandars the defending champions had a torrid time in PSL 2024 as they won just one match in the league phase and finished at the bottom of PSL 2024.

In the end what i will like to say is that PSL 2024 has created a lot of talented players for Pakistan's bench strength and these players will serve Pakistan in the future.

New Zealand tour of Pakistan 2024

 New Zealand is coming to Pakistan for five Twenty20 internationals. This time Pakistan are the favourites as New Zealand will be without several key players missing from action as they are contracted to play in Indian Premier League. Also Pakistan has the home advantage and home conditions suit them.

Pakistan has great openers like Saim Ayub, Saud Shakeel and Fakhar Zaman which can provide Pakistan with quick start. They are openers who can hit the ball a long away. In the upper middle order in their batting they have Babar Azam and Iftikhar Ahmed who are solid batsmen.

In bowling they have Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Abbas Afridi, Shadab Khan and Usama Mir who can easily contain New Zealand to a low total. 

In the end what I would like to say is that I predict a series win for Pakistan in this home series against New Zealand.
