Pak v NZ highlights today – Third twenty/20 from Eden Park, Auckland (New Zealand) Thursday 25th January 2018. Pakistan lost their first match and now are they ready for a new task. Pakistan team performance was not good in ODI’s and in the shorter format. They still have a chance to prove that they are also a good team and a competitive one. In the last match, Pakistan batted first and scored 105 runs all out in 19.4 overs.

After five ODI failures, Babar Azam showed some class in t20 format and scored 41 runs off 41 balls, when his wicket dismissed then it was 19.4 six and out, and Pakistan are all out for 105! Another slower delivery on middle and leg, Azam cannot time his lofted drive and can only chip the catch to long-on 105/10. Hasan Ali smashed 23 runs off 12 deliveries. SHA Rance and TG Southee these two took six wickets, MJ Santner took two, AK Kitchen and C Munro these two took one wicket each of them.
