NZ vs Pak, 3rd ODI: The third and the final ODI will take place at the scenic Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Saturday. Ahead of the match, the Pakistan team reached the ground for practice. They trained and then posted the clip of their training session. Now, the Pakistan cricketers are getting trolled for this also.
Fans believe it is all a gimmick as all the training never translates into wins. Upset fans took to social space and lambasted the Pakistan Cricket Board for ruining the state of cricket in the country. Here is the clip posted by the PCB.
Here are some of the trolls:
The Men in Green have already lost the first two games and hence they do not stand a chance of winning the series, but a consolation win wouldn't do them any harm. In the final ODI, it would be interesting to see if Pakistan are ready to make changes or not. With not much at stake, the Men in Green can easily test their bench-strength.
Meanwhile, the Mohammed Rizwan-led outfit was fined 5 per cent of their match fee for maintaining a slow over-rate against New Zealand in the second ODI in Hamilton. The sanction was given by Jeff Crowe of the ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees after it was determined that the visiting team had fallen one over short of the target after accounting for time allowances.
