New Zealand have added another spinner, Ish Sodhi replacing Henry Shipley, while Pakistan are unchanged.
It is pertinent to mention here that despite all the reports in the media, vice-captain Shan Masood isn’t part of the playing XI for second ODI either.
Pakistan، it may be recalled, strolled to a six-wicket victory over New Zealand in the first one-day international on Monday after fast bowler Naseem Shah took five wickets in Karachi.
Chasing a target of 256 in the 1st ODI, Pakistan rode on half-centuries from Mohammad Rizwan (77 not out), Babar Azam (66) and Fakhar Zaman (56) to cross the finish line, with 11 balls to spare.
If Pakistan win this match, they will take an unassailable lead in the 3-match ODI series.
Pakistan: 1 Imam-ul-Haq, 2 Fakhar Zaman, 3 Babar Azam (capt), 4 Mohammad Rizwan (wk), 5 Haris Sohail, 6 Salman Ali Agha, 7 Mohammad Nawaz, 8 Usama Mir, 9 Mohammad Wasim, 10 Haris Rauf, 11 Naseem Shah
