Pakistan's tour of New Zealand - Jan 2018

This is an embarrassment to the game. Can't believe I stayed up to watch this game. Pathetic display of batting. 15/5 is something I wouldn't even expect from Namibia - that too in 15 overs.!!
 
Can we agree to hate on Azhar Ali as an ODI opener now?
Azhar Ali is a fantastic test batsman but was never looking good ODI batsman. He is like Pujara who can be a fantastic asset in test matches but not so great in LO. Pakistan is having a bad day overall with Afghanistan looking like defeating Pakistan in U19 WC as well.

I had backed him through out CT17 and this series. But after this performance not anymore. We need a good opener with Fakhar Zaman.

Wasn't expecting this poor batting performance after CT17. An easy 5-0 is on its way.

Told you, after being 15/5 Pakistan dont have a Dhoni who can atleast make them reach 100. Complete domination by the home team
 
I would go with this line-up:

Fakhar Zaman
Faheem Ashraf
Babar Azam
Sarfraz Ahmed
Haris Sohail
Shoaib Malik
Aamir Yamin
Shadab Khan
Hasan Ali
Mohammad Amir
Rumman Raees

Pakistan need Asad Shafiq back in the middle order for upcoming Overseas fixtures.Mickey Arthur need to built a solid middle order combination prior to next matches.Where is Iftikhar Ahmed & Shoaib Maqsood?Very much disappointed to see struggling Imam-ul-Haq.Don't know why Shafiq not selected for this tour.For overseas tour you need a proper test batsman in middle order.
 
I kinda expected this
