Earlier Pakistan posted a total of 178/5 in 20 overs on the board, thanks to a half-century by Babar Azam (69) and vital contributions from Fakhar Zaman (43) and Usman Mir (31), and set a target of 179 for New Zealand to chase.
In reply Tim Seifert played a knock of 52 off 33 balls, including seven fours and two sixes, at a strike rate of 157.58. However, his effort went in vain as New Zealand were bundled out for 169 in 19.2 overs. Seifert’s dismissal triggered instability in visitors’ batting line-up as middle-order failed to setup for the team when they were needed the most.
