ODI #3123: Pakistan vs. New Zealand
Mar 08, 2011
For a change, the Pakistani opposition exploded. Pakistan's bowling was excellent for the initial 44 overs of the game. Then, out of the blue, began an epic annihilation of their historical strength. Ross Taylor smashed seven(!) sixes and plundered 114 runs in 6 overs. Pakistan simply didn't recover from that shock. They lost by a mammoth 110 runs. Their top five batsman scored a combined 30 runs.
I sometimes used to play as a wicket keeper. So, it was just painful to watch Kamran Akmal drop the second chance. Pakistan isn't going to progress beyond the quarter-finals with such an atrocious performance.
