The second T20I of the five-match series between New Zealand and Pakistan is set to take place on March 18 at 6:45 AM IST at the University Oval in Dunedin. The hosts are currently leading the series 1-0 after winning the opening encounter at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch.
It was an outing to forget for the visitors in Christchurch as they folded for just 91 runs after losing the toss. None of the Pakistan batters looked comfortable in the middle as New Zealand's pacers were all over them. Only Khushdil Shah played a few good shots scoring 32 runs. With the ball too, Shaheen Afridi and others couldn't make early inroads as New Zealand lost only one wicket in the chase.
For the Kiwis, Kyle Jamieson and Jacob Duffy bowled superbly with the former accounting for three wickets. Duffy, on the other hand, picked up a four-wicket haul registering his best figures in the shortest format of the game. Jamieson won the player of the match for his sensational bowling figures of 3/8 in four overs with a maiden. In the chase, Tim Seifert smashed 44 runs off 29 deliveries while Finn Allen also had fun scoring an unbeaten 29 as New Zealand got over the line in just 10.1 overs.
