Pak vs NZ: Kane Williamson Speaks About Historic Win in Pakistan

New Zealand last year the historic Pak vs NZ series had pulled out of the series owing to safety concerns. However, this time around, the blackcaps announced a long tour that will be completed in two rounds. The first round of the Pak vs NZ series comprised 2 test matches and 3 ODIs. Both the test games ended in draws but after losing the first ODI, Kane Williamson and his team came back stronger to win the next two games and eventually the series.

Kane Williamson had announced his decision to step down as the captain of New Zealand before the start of the tour but in the absence of regular captain Tim Southee, Kane stepped in. The player was over the moon after winning the historic series in Pakistan. Williamson praised the team for their commitment during the post-game press conference and believed the visitors could learn a lot from the series.

New Zealand wins Pak vs NZ ODI series 2-1

In the series decider of the Pak vs NZ ODI series, Pakistan decided to make a few changes including leaving out Imam-Ul-Haq and Naseem Shah and bringing in Shan Masood and Mohammad Hasnain. Pakistan’s batting line-up had some issues with the bat but Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Rizwan helped put up a decent score. In response, Kane Williamson and his team comfortably chased down the target with Glenn Phillips making a century.

During the post-match presentation of the Pak vs NZ game, Kane Williamson said, “It is special, we always know whether it is home or away, it is always tough cricket against Pakistan, they are a very strong side. So to come here and play well as a unit throughout the series and getting a series win is a very good effort by the team and another great opportunity to take a lot of learnings from it as well.”
