The Pakistan - New Zealand Series is so far even at 1-1. Given that Pakistan absolutely thrashed New Zealand in the 2nd Twenty20 international by 7 wickets bowling New Zealand to a very low total of 90. I was surprised that in just one day after absolutely dominating New Zealand in the 2nd Twenty20 international Pakistan's performance will nose dive to badly lose to New Zealand by 7 wickets in the 3rd Twenty20 International.
Given that New Zealand is playing almost a second string side with several key players playing in Indian Premier League Pakistan's performance in the 3rd Twenty20 international was pathetic to say the least. Pakistan's total of 178 was low given that Rawalpindi is a high scoring ground and their bowling was pathetic clearly missing Mohammad Amir. Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah's bowling was erratic as they were hit to all parts of the ground.
In the end what I would like to say is that Pakistan clearly need to show consistency in their performance and they should not disturb a winning combination.
