The Pakistan team conducted an intense practice session at Saxton Oval, Nelson.

Earlier, Pakistan bowling coach Azahr Mahmood opined that if opening batsman Fakhar Zaman would have got ‘10 or more overs’ the condition could have been different in the last match.

“The defeat over Duckworth-Lewis [DSL] method was frustrating for us. Fakhar and the other guy were batting beautifully. And you never know what is going to happen if they batted 10 or more overs,” the bowling coach said while talking to media on Monday.

Zaman was the only shining light for Pakistan in the otherwise one-side game, with an unbeaten inning of 82 runs.

With the series 1-0 in favor of the Kiwis, Pakistan will face New Zealand in second ODI of the five-match series on Tuesday at Sexton Oval.
