Pakistan started the inning with a new opening pair which gave the result straight away and score 53 runs in the first wicket partnership. Sarfraz Ahmed was sent to open the T20 inning for first time and he batted splendid way. Pakistan needs to change a bowling camp a bit in the second T20. I think due to dew factor Spinners are not at their best to grip the ball and to gave the 100% result. We saw in the Pakistan vs New Zealand 1st T20 match the Shahid Khan Afridi was not handling the ball tightly and bowled short pitch deliveries which he did not bowl usually. Raza Hassan also found it difficult to bowl at his best. He could not spin a single delivery in his spell that’s why could not impress me a lot. Pakistan fast bowling camp with Anwar Ali, Irfan, and Sohais was at his best and demolish the top order of New Zealand cricket team which restricted them to score a big score.
On the other hand New Zealand got a poor start with 1/1, 2/10 and 3-15 when their top order was wrinkled by Pace attack of Pakistan. Corey Anderson scored 48 runs and gave a bit reasonable target of 135 runs. He was accompanied by Ronchi who scored 33 runs in the end part of the inning. 135 runs was never a good total to defend by any bowling attack. NZ cricket team would go for the same combination they did 100% okay but collapsing top order.
Pakistan (possible) 1 Ahmed Shehzad, 2 Awais Zia, 3 Mohammad Hafeez, 4 Saad Nasim, 5 Umar Akmal, 6 Sarfraz Ahmed (wk), 7 Shahid Afridi (capt), 8 Anwar Ali/Umar Gul, 9 Wahab Riaz, 10 Raza Hasan, 11 Mohammad Irfan

Pakistan may opt for Umar Gul today in place of Raza Hassan as Dubai Pitch produced a good bounce yesterday and deq factor aslo disturbed spin bowling. Umar Gul will stragnth the pace attack and will increase the more chances of win. Again according to Pakistan have 60-40 win ratio.
