Pak vs NZ Two changes expected in Pakistan squad for 2nd ODI

The second One Day Worldwide (ODI) among Pakistan and New Zealand is booked to occur today (Saturday) at Rawalpindi cricket arena. Pakistan, who won the first match of the ongoing five-match ODI series, are expected to make two changes to their playing XI and adopt a rotation policy against the Kiwis.

Shahab Khan may be rested and replaced by Usama Mir, while one of the key pacers, Shahen Shah Afridi or Harris Rauf, is likely to be benched. Sadly, Harris Sohail will be inaccessible because of a shoulder injury he supported during the T20I series against New Zealand. In the first ODI, Pakistan's Fakhar Zaman scored a century, which helped them chase down a target of 289 runs and secure a five-wicket victory.
