Pakistan, New Zealand to lock horns in second test today

Karachi: The second Cricket Test of the two-match series between Pakistan and New Zealand will be played in Karachi from Monday (today). The game is slated to be played in Karachi.

The second Test match between Pakistan and New Zealand will be played at the National Stadium in Karachi at 10:30 am IST. 

Earlier, New Zealand made a strong bid to chase down 138 in the last hour of the first test on Friday after Pakistan’s captain Babar Azam made a daring declaration before poor visibility halted the Black Caps at 61-1 in the eighth over, ending in a draw. 

Having played out a draw in the series-opener, both teams seek to go one better in Karachi’s second and final Test.
