New Zealand’s weak pulse – opening pair

How is the weak pulse of New Zealand’s opening pair? Now understand it from these figures. 0, 0, 6, 6 and 15 This is the report card of the last 5 innings of the New Zealand opening pair while playing the second innings of the test match. But if you think that on the basis of these figures alone, we are judging New Zealand’s opening pair as its weak link, then it is not so.

Opening pair failed in second innings since 2021

In fact, since the year 2021, the condition of New Zealand’s opening batsmen has been bad in the second innings, where their average is below 18. Only once in the last 24 occasions has New Zealand’s opener been able to make a partnership of 50 plus runs in the second innings of Test cricket.

41st wicket in the fourth innings

Bumrah has also increased his number of wickets in the fourth innings by taking the wicket of Tom Lathan. By dismissing Tom Latham for the first time, Bumrah took the 171st wicket of his Test career and the 41st wicket in the fourth innings of the Test match.
