New Zealand's young pace sensation Kyle Jamieson went berserk over a rather inexperienced Pakistan batting line-up as he followed his fifer in the first innings with another five-wicket haul in the second to decimate the Men in Green. Courtesy of the Kiwi pacer's heroics and skipper Kane Williamson's magnificent double-century, New Zealand thrashed Pakistan by an innings and 176 runs in the second Test to secure a 2-0 whitewash.
Kyle Jamieson destroys Pakistan with maiden 10 wicket haul
Pakistan posted a total of 297 in their first innings. Jamieson was the pick of the bowlers who registered stunning figures of 5/69. In response, New Zealand put up a gigantic total of 659/6 riding on the back of Williamson's fine double ton (238) and Henry Nicholls (157) and Daryl Mitchell's (102*) splendid centuries.
Pakistan had a mammoth task of chasing New Zealand's huge score and the visitors needed an inspiring effort from their batsmen to take the game to the second innings. However, Jamieson wasn't in a mood to relent as he once again ran through Pakistan's batting line up and bagged another fifer. Pakistan were eventually bowled out for 186 with Jamieson grabbing 6/48 and also registering the first 10- wicket haul of his career.
Jamieson's stellar performances got the Twitterati buzzing as they lauded him for his stunning display of fast bowling. Several reactions poured in as fans termed Jamieson as the future of world cricket. Here's a look at a few reactions.
