Left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel led New Zealand to a superb win in the first Test against Pakistan and is eager to maintain pressure on the opposition.
The second Test takes place in Dubai on Saturday and Patel has vowed to follow up his excellent start to his Test career with another good performance.
Confidence is high for the spinner who claimed 5-59 in Abu Dhabi to collect the man of the match award.
“I think it will be pretty much the same plan, to keep the pressure for a longer period of time and keep bowling good balls in good areas,” Patel told AFP.
“A good ball is a good ball in Test cricket and batters respect that. Likewise they will put pressure back on us so it’s a bit of a cat and mouse game, backward and forward, so we will do our best.”
“Pakistan batsmen are good players of spin and after that defeat they will go hard on us so we will be ready for that,” said Patel.
