2nd T20I: NZ Thrash Pakistan By 5 Wickets To Take 2-0 Series Lead
Salman Ali Agha: New Zealand continued their dominant run in the T20I series against Pakistan, sealing a comfortable 5-wicket win in the second match at University Oval to take a 2-0 lead in the five-game series.
In a rain-shortened 15-overs-a-side contest, Pakistan, after being put into bat, managed to post 135/9, courtesy of a 28-ball 46 from captain Salman Ali Agha, including four boundaries and three sixes. Shadab Khan (26) and Shaheen Shah Afridi (22 not out) were the other significant run-getters for the touring side. For the hosts, Ben Sears, Ish Sodhi, Jacob Duffy and James Neesham bagged two wickets apiece.
In reply, opening duo Tim Seifert (45) and Finn Allen (38) provided a brisk 66-run first-wicket stand as New Zealand chased down the target in 13.1 overs, losing five wickets in the process. For Pakistan, Haris Rauf claimed two wickets for 20 in three overs.
