Pakistan gets their second victory beating New Zealand
New Zealand 134/8 – Pakistan 135/5 (Pakistan won by 5 wickets with 8 balls remaining). The second match for the Pakistani squad seemed to be relatively easy. The captain decided to bowl after the coin toss, and the final outcome showed that he was right. Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Imad Wasim, and Shadab Khan became a nightmare for the New Zealand’s batters.

The strong bowling start made the difference. The guys mentioned above didn’t allow opponents to grab many runs. Most of the overs finished with six runs or fewer for New Zealand. A total of 134 runs cannot be enough for the batting team on the highest level. Pakistan, instead, scored the needed 135 and, having an advantage in wickets, left 8 balls for the better times.
