Three batters to watch out for in the second ODI between New Zealand and Pakistan
3. Babar Azam

The former Pakistan captain Babar Azam is considered one of the best generational batting talents. While his records speak for themselves, his knock in the first ODI provided a glimpse of what he can unleash when he finds his form. Babar scored 78 runs off 83 balls smashing five boundaries and three sixes at McLean Park. Babar announced his return to form with his classic cover drives and some big hits. He has to play a brave knock at Hamilton Park to keep Pakistan alive in the series.
2. Daryl Mitchell

The all-rounder played a very crucial knock and formed an important partnership with Mark Chapman. Mitchell scored 76 runs off 84 deliveries hitting four boundaries and sixes a piece. Mitchell is a versatile batter who can play the role of an anchor as well as an aggressor as per the demand of the situation. His ability to play both pace and spin makes him a stand-out batter to watch out for heading into the second ODI.
1. Mark Chapman

Mark Chapman got his second ODI century for the Black Caps at McLean Park. His innings proved to be the differential between the two sides. Chapman smashed 13 boundaries and 6 sixes in his innings of 132 runs. Chapman will again be the one batter to watch out for considering his fine form when he takes his crease in the second ODI.
