New Zealand registered a convincing 84-run victory over Pakistan in the second ODI in Hamilton on Wednesday, sealing the three-match series 2-0. With the final match set to take place in Mount Maunganui on Saturday, the Kiwis will now aim for a clean sweep.

Pacer Ben Sears was the standout performer, claiming a remarkable five-wicket haul (5/59) in just his third ODI. After going wicketless in his previous two appearances, Sears turned the tide with his fierce bowling, dismantling Pakistan’s middle and lower order.

Chasing 293, Pakistan’s innings fell apart early. Will O’Rourke removed Abdullah Shafique for 1, followed by Jacob Duffy dismissing Babar Azam (1) and Imam-ul-Haq, leaving Pakistan at 9/3 within six overs. Salman Agha (9) also failed to settle, and captain Mohammad Rizwan struggled before departing for 5 off 27 balls.

Tayyab Tahir (13), Mohammad Wasim (1), and Akif Javed were unable to revive the innings. A late 60-run partnership between Faheem Ashraf (73 off 80) and Naseem Shah (51 off 44) offered brief resistance, but the damage had already been done. Pakistan were eventually bowled out, with Duffy finishing with figures of 3/35. O’Rourke and Nathan Smith took one wicket each.

Earlier, New Zealand posted a total of 292/8 after being sent in to bat. Openers Rhys Mariu (18) and Nick Kelly (31) got off to a brisk start. Despite a middle-order wobble that saw the side slump to 132/5, a 77-run stand between Muhammad Abbas (41) and Mitchell Hay stabilized the innings.

Hay played a crucial innings, narrowly missing out on a century with an unbeaten 99 off 78 deliveries, including seven fours and seven sixes. His knock proved vital in pushing New Zealand past the 290-mark and earned him the Player of the Match award.

For Pakistan, Sufiyan Muqeem (2/33) and Mohammad Wasim (2/78) were the notable performers with the ball.

Having already secured the series, New Zealand now have the chance to sweep Pakistan 3-0 in the final ODI this weekend.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are all set to clash with Gujarat Titans (GT) in a high-octane IPL 2025 encounter at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. With two back-to-back wins under their belt, RCB will be aiming to extend their winning streak to three and continue their dominant run in the tournament.

This match also marks RCB’s homecoming as they play their first match of the season in front of their home crowd. The excitement is high, not just for the team’s form, but also for the potential milestone that could be achieved by star batter Virat Kohli.

Kohli on cusp of a major T20 landmark

All eyes will be on Virat Kohli, who is just 24 runs away from becoming the first Indian cricketer to score 13,000 runs in T20 cricket. The veteran batter will join an elite club currently led by Chris Gayle, who has 14,562 runs from 463 T20 games.

GT pace threat and spin firepower

Gujarat Titans come into this contest with a potent bowling attack. Former RCB pacer Mohammed Siraj, now in GT colours alongside Kagiso Rabada, will be aiming to strike early and dent the Bengaluru top order.

GT’s spin unit, featuring Rashid Khan and R Sai Kishore, is expected to play a critical role against the likes of Rajat Patidar, Phil Salt, Devdutt Padikkal, and Kohli — all of whom are capable players of spin.

Bengaluru challenge for bowlers

RCB’s bowling attack, featuring experienced names like Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, will be under pressure to perform on a ground known for its short boundaries and quick outfield. Despite the conditions, RCB will be banking on their bowlers to restrict GT’s scoring opportunities and maintain their unbeaten run.

RCB’s victories against Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings have showcased their strength in both departments. However, the Titans — fresh off a 36-run win over Mumbai Indians — pose a different challenge.

The stage is set for an intense contest, with RCB aiming to celebrate their return to Bengaluru in style and Gujarat Titans looking to build on their momentum.
