New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson on Thursday stated that his facet must be at its greatest, so as to defeat Pakistan within the upcoming two-match Test collection. New Zealand and Pakistan might be locking horns in a two-match Test collection, starting December 26 on the Bay Oval. The Kiwis are presently on the third spot in World Test Championship (WTC) standings, and if the facet wins the collection 2-0, then they’d be agency favourites to progress to the finals of WTC. “I mean, I think the context of that is great for the game in general, having the Test Championship. But our focus as it was in the last couple of Tests is to basically start again and adapt to the conditions that we’re going to have,” ESPNCricinfo quoted Williamson as saying.
“Obviously four different surfaces, different opposition. We know how good Pakistan is and we’re going to have to be at our best starting from that first day here in the Mount, and make sure we are really clear in how it is we want to operate and basically try and adjust as quickly as possible. So it’s coming back to those basics for us and basically playing what is in front of us, rather than getting too carried away with potential eventual things, who knows,” he added.
