Though Pakistan has a little edge over New Zealand at the moment but a couple of good partnerships may cruise the visitors to the dominant position in the match since the fourth innings has traditionally never been easy for batsmen.
However prior to the outcome of the match, leg spinner Yasir Shah is likely to make a history today by getting 200 Test wickets in his 33rd match.
Yasir Shah has taken 199 wickets in his Test Career and one more wicket will push him atop the list of fastest 200 Test wicket-takers.
Yasir Shah on the cusp of creating history. Now only a wicket away from breaking 82 years old record of fastest to 200 wickets in Tests. It will be an incredible achievement and a proud moment for Pakistan’s cricket. #PakvNZ
