After winning the first of the three matches in the bilateral ODI series against Pakistan, the New Zealand national cricket team are set to host the Green Shirts again for the second ODI. While the Pakistan national cricket team would look to win the New Zealand vs Pakistan 2nd ODI 2025, and level the series, hosts New Zealand will surely aim for a win, with a target to win the series early with a match in hand. The NZ vs PAK 2nd ODI would mean a lot for Pakistan as they were bullied in the T20I series, losing 4-1, now losing the ODI series will add to more shame in this tour. NZ vs PAK 2nd ODI 2025: New Zealand Batter Mark Chapman To Miss Second ODI vs Pakistan With Hamstring Injury.

In New Zealand vs Pakistan 1st ODI 2025, the Black Caps earned a comfortable win, with a perfectly equipped strategy. Pakistan were short by 73 runs of the massive 344/9 runs New Zealand put on board. It was an all-round performance from the hosts, just like in the four T20Is they won beforehand.

Pakistan did try to give a fight in the first ODI, especially with the bat. Their star batters were fighting hard to play long, but regular fall of wickets and a big required run-rate came in the middle of their mission. It's a do-or-die for the Pakistan cricket team here, and a far less dramatic situation for the New Zealand cricket team.

NZ vs PAK 2nd ODI 2025 Key Battles

Daryl Mitchell struck an impressive and responsible 76-run knock, now with Mark Chapman injured and out, he will have more responsibilities in the middle-order. Irfan Khan Niazi, who went costly but picked a three-wicket haul also hunted a set Daryl Mitchell, whether he can again get him out will be a sight to see. Muhammad Abbas, who made headlines being a Pakistan-born player, debuting for New Zealand and striking the fastest fifty on his ODI debut will be at the centre of attraction in the NZ vs PAK 2nd ODI 2025 too. He could have hit more if Mohammad Ali didn't pick his wicket. Ali should surely look to target Muhammad Abbas again. Nathan Smith picked up a four-wicket haul in the first ODI, including the Pakistan opener Usman Khan, who was looking fine.
