Despite Shaheen Afridi: New Zealand stand-in captain Michael Bracewell was full of praise for his bowlers after their commanding five-wicket win over Pakistan in the second T20I at University Oval.

Speaking after the match, Bracewell highlighted the exceptional performance of his bowlers, especially those who had to contend with the strong wind.

"The bowling was extraordinary, first of all. The guys bowling into the wind today bowled particularly well and kept them to a score, which we're pretty happy with. That is definitely an assessment during the game. That probably goes away from the instincts of the death bowlers a little bit, not using the yorkers and things like that," Bracewell said after the win in the second T20I against Pakistan.
