akistan will have to score 227 runs to win the match
Under the leadership of Shaheen Afridi, Pakistan team is playing the first match of the five-match T20 series against New Zealand in Auckland. Batting first after losing the toss, the host team scored 226 runs at the loss of 8 wickets in 20 overs. However, Pakistan’s fielding also played an important role in such a big score.
Actually, Pakistani players made many miss fields during the innings. Pakistan dropped two catches of Kane Williamson within the first 10 overs. For the first time, Babar Azam dropped the catch. He failed to capitalize on an easy opportunity near the boundary off the ball of Abbas Afridi in the fifth over of the innings.
For the second time, Iftikhar Ahmed dropped the catch, due to which Williamson got another lease of life. Pakistan had to pay a heavy price for these two drop catches and Kane Williamson played a half-century. He scored 57 runs in 42 balls with the help of 9 fours before getting out. The fans criticized the visiting team for their poor fielding and vented their anger on social media.
See here some reactions on social media
Form is temporary, Pakistan fielding is permanent 🤣🤣🤣

Earlier, New Zealand, batting first, has set a huge target of 227 runs for Pakistan. Apart from Kane Williamson, Daryl Mitchell batted well for the Kiwi team. He played a brilliant inning of 61 runs in just 27 balls with the help of 4 fours and 4 sixes. While Mark Chapman contributed 26 runs and Glenn Phillips contributed 19 runs.
For Pakistan, Shaheen Afridi and Abbas Afridi took maximum 3-3 wickets. Whereas Haris Rauf got 2 wickets. Aamer Jamal and Usama Mir proved to be very expensive and both failed to take wickets.

AUS vs IND 2024-25: Umpire Simon Taufel made special comment on KL Rahul’s controversial DRS out in Perth Test
There is a special discussion in the cricket world regarding Rahul’s dismissal. Australia vs India, 1st Test (Image Credit- Twitter X) India is facing Australia in the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series from November 22 at the Optus Stadium in Perth. In the match, stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah has won the toss and decided to bat first, which has not proved right for the team. However, there is a lot of discussion in the cricket world about the way experienced batsman KL Rahul was out in the match. After defending a lot of the ball, Rahul was slowly building his innings, but he was unfortunately given out in the 23rd over of the Indian innings. Mitchell Starc came to bowl this over of the Indian innings for Australia and in this over, he bowled the second ball of length to Rahul, which went very close to the bat. During this, other players including the bowler appealed, but the onfield umpire did not give the player out. But during this, captain Pat Cummins took DRS review and the third umpire gave Rahul out. But in UltraEdge it was clearly seen that the ball had hit the pad saved from the bat. On the other hand, now experienced umpire Simon Taufel has reacted to Rahul’s DRS out. Simon Taufel reacts to Rahul’s DRS out Let us tell you that Simon Taufel, while discussing with 7 Cricket about Rahul’s dismissal in the Perth Test, said – We saw in that side on shot that there was a spike on the RTS and the bat was away from the pad, in other words the bat. The lower part did not reach the pad. So rotating it in its natural course, you would have seen the second spike (on the sneako, to indicate the bat hitting the pad) come in more than if it had been rotated all the way. So former cricketer Matthew Hayden, who was commenting during this time, said – We are assuming that (Snikko) could be the outer edge of the bat, but it cannot be so. Well, the umpire’s decision is the final decision, and the player cannot protest against it. Due to this decision of the umpire, Rahul had to return to the pavilion after being out on the score of 26 runs in 74 balls.
