Pakistan, with help of a brilliant pace bowling performance by Haris Rauf, were able to restrict new rivals New Zealand at 134/8. Rauf picked up 4 wickets, giving away just 22 runs, thus registering his career-best performance in T20I. For Pakistan, Shaheen Afridi, Imad Wasim & Mohammad Hafeez picked up 1 wicket each.
For New Zealand, captain Kane Williamson (25(26)) looked good but was part of an unfortunate runout. Devon Conway scored 27 off 24 balls with 3 boundaries but then was hunted down by the on-fire Haris Rauf.
Earlier, Pakistan captain Babar Azam won the toss & opted to bowl first against New Zealand in the 19th match of the T20 World Cup 2021. This match is being played at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah
Brief Score:
Another Brilliant bowling performance by Pakistan!
