New Zealand vs Pakistan 2018: 5 players to watch out for in the ODI series

Colin Munro

Colin Munro is New Zealand's biggest weapon at the top of the order

Devastating at the top, Munro has found a new lease of life ever since being promoted to open for the Kiwis. Capable of taking the game away from the opposition in a matter of overs, Munro was in sublime form in the recently-concluded series against West Indies.

While he managed just 100 runs from three innings in the ODI series, he came into his own in the T20Is that followed, notching three consecutive half-centuries. His blistering century (off 47 balls) in the final game at Mount Maunganui made him the only batsman in history to have amassed three T20I hundreds.

He also broke Hamilton Masakadza's record of most runs in a bilateral T20I series, with 223.

Munro strikes at over 100 in ODIs and if he gets his eye in, can easily dismantle even a formidable-looking Pakistani bowling attack.
