Pakistan heaves a sigh of relief with the Test drawn due to Poor light 🪛

Ish Sodhi's maiden five-wicket haul in Test cricket left Pakistan precariously close to their fifth successive defeat in the format but Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Wasim kept fighting. NZ was setting for a draw, but Babar Azam's decision of dangling the carrot to NZ to chase 138 in 14 / 15 overs. NZ even came close but poor light saved the day ending the Test match to a dull draw.

🗣️ Quote of the Day

" You have to keep reminding the guys that they're not crap cricketers. Unfortunately, we are all learning in the most ruthless and brutal way but I think there are more learnings out of this than going out and playing against a team that's of similar strength and we beat them."
