Mitchell Hay Lauds Young New Zealand Players After ODI Series Win Against Pakistan
Mitchell Hay: Extending their dominance in white-ball cricket, New Zealand’s young squad sealed an emphatic 84-run victory over Pakistan in Hamilton on Wednesday, securing an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series. With several first-team regulars absent due to franchise commitments, the Black Caps fielded a relatively inexperienced side. However, according to Mitchell Hay, experience was never an issue for this promising squad.
“There are some pretty experienced guys here, both internationally and domestically, which have been great to talk to and learn from,” Hay remarked after the second ODI. “On paper, guys may not have played a lot of international cricket, but within the group, there's immense knowledge to tap into. It’s a great place for New Zealand cricket to be in, with healthy competition for spots.”
Hay himself was at the center of New Zealand’s triumph, narrowly missing out on a maiden international century. His blistering knock of 99 off 78 balls proved instrumental in guiding the hosts to victory. Partnering with Muhammad Abbas, the duo stabilized the innings after a shaky start, ensuring that New Zealand posted a formidable total.
