After losing the Test series to England, the fortunes of Pakistan did not see a major shift even against New Zealand. Although the 1st Test match was a draw, their bowlers were seen craving for even one wicket.
Into the NZ record books! Tom Blundell became the first NZ keeper to claim three stumpings in a Test when he caught Imam-ul-Haq (twice) & Shan Masood short of their ground off the bowling of Patel, Bracewell & Sodhi in the first Test in Karachi #StatChat #PAKvNZ 📷 = @TheRealPCB pic.twitter.com/SFQ1l7QRMZ

In the last Test match, Pakistan ended their four-match losing streak at home. The brave and gutsy half-centuries by Imam-ul-Haq, Saud Shakeel and Sarfraz Ahmed denied New Zealand a chance to go 1-0 up in the two-match Test series at the National Bank Cricket Arena on Friday.
Resuming the fifth and last day at 77 for two and still needing 97 runs to make New Zealand bat again, Pakistan looked down and out when they slipped to 206 for seven (32 runs ahead) with 49 overs still remaining in the match. However, the eighth and ninth wicket partnerships between Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Wasim Junior, and Saud and Mir Hamza, respectively helped Pakistan to declare their second innings at 311 for eight.
That set New Zealand a daunting but achievable 138 runs target in 15 overs, and when both the teams shook hands due to a fading light, the visitors were 61 for one in 7.3 overs.

Pitch Report for Pak vs NZ 2nd Test?
The Karachi pitch is considered helpful for spin bowlers, but nothing special was seen in the last Test. The pitch offered at Karachi’s National Stadium did not truly live up to expectations in 1st PAK vs NZ Test. It was heaven for batters.
Tim Southee had said that fast bowlers on this pitch can be effective in the initial days by taking three wickets in the first innings. Usually, the pitch is spin-friendly, so spinners are going to dominate.
