Match end!!!!
New Zealand have won the match by seven wickets with 11 balls to spare.
Mohammd Rizwan 90* (63) | Matt Henry 2/22 (4 Overs) Daryl Mitchell 72* (44) | Shaheen Afridi 3/34 (4 Overs)
Earlier in the day, New Zealand won the toss and put Pakistan to bat. The Pakistan team struggled through out their innings. It was Mohammad Rizwan who held things together for the visitors. Nawaz played a cameo towards the end and helped Pakistan reach a total of 158 for 5 at the end of their 20 overs.
In the chase, Pakistan started off brilliantly. They got two wickets in the first over and put New Zealand on the back foot. By the third over of the innings, New Zealand were reeling at 20 for 3. But from there on, it was all Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips (70* off 52). They chalked out an unbeaten partnership of 139 runs off 93 deliveries and took the team past the winning line with 11 balls to spare.
That is it!!! New Zealand have won this with 11 balls remaining in the game. The Michell-Phillips duo has done the job for the team.
18.1 Haris Rauf to Daryl Mitchell, FOUR! NEW ZEALAND WIN! You'd feel that Sheen brought Rauf to just get himself out of this misery. Short and on a length, Mitchell swivels the pull to deep square leg! New Zealand come home with seven wickets in hand. The hosts would know they were lucky and Pakistan would know they were as bas as it gets in the field.
15 runs off that over and just four left to win this. The Mitchell and Phillips partnership have made a quick work of this target.
