Pakistan vs New Zealand Live Score: In chase of 135, Pakistan got to 30/1 by the end of the Powerplay.

Tim Southee bagged his 100th T20I scalp as he removed skipper Babar Azam on 9. Then, Ish Sodhi, after being hit for a huge six, got his revenge as he trapped Fakhar Zaman LBW plumb in front.

PAK got to 58/1 after 10 overs. The Men in Green lost three more wicket in the next four overs to stutter to 91/5. The highlight of the phase of Devon Conway’s freakish, outrageous boundary-line catch to help Mitchell Santner dismiss Mohammad Hafeez.

Earlier in the first innings, New Zealand started steady as they reached 42/1 by the end of the Powerplay. Martin Guptill, 17 off 20, was cleaned up Haris Rauf in the 6th over. In the next four overs Imad Wasim removed a dangerous-looking Daryl Mitchell and Mohammad Hafeez sent Jimmy Neesham packing on 1 as the Black Caps reached 60/3 after 10 overs.

Skipper Kane Williamson stitched a few boundaries and just as a stand with Devon Conway started to build, Hasan Ali caught Kane short of his crease with a direct throw. NZ reached 100/4 after 15 overs.

Eventually, Haris Rauf removed Conway, Phillips in the same over and finished with a four-wicket haul. NZ posted 134/8 in 20 overs.
