The Pakistani bowling team endured a major damage in their first ODI match against New Zealand at McLean Park when they gave away 43 uncontrolled extras. On top of their other two ODI history standings the team reached a third highest extras total which highlights their poor bowling performance.
After winning the toss, Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan chose fielding first, but his bowling team could not maintain control during New Zealand’s batting.
The 43 extras received during this match demonstrate poor bowling consistency trends.
- 21 wides, highlighting significant line issues
- The number of 13 leg byes indicates poor throwing accuracy.
- 7 legitimate batters crossed home plate through the wrong decisions of the wicketkeeper.
- The bowlers gave up two more unauthorized deliveries which joined previous miscues.
The 43 extras conceded by Pakistan against New Zealand in 2015 ranks second only to the 1999 match versus New Zealand when 47 extras were given up at Manchester in ODI play. The team lost 44 extras during their 1990 Sharjah match against Sri Lanka, which ranked second in their history. The team recorded the same results against New Zealand and Dambulla in 2003.
