June 26, 2019 22:40

Pak 128-3 (30 ovs) vs NZ 237-6 | Scorecard

Pakistan are panicking out here. Azam top edges the pull shot against Santner and it falls just short of the fielder rushing in from fine leg.

Santner gets one to turn sharply into left-hander Haris Sohail from the rough before he comes down and taps the next to long-on for a single.

Williamson continues as Azam flicks the second ball to fine leg for a single to bring up his fifty, from 65 balls.

Sohail picks one before Azam pulls a short ball but can't beat Taylor at square leg.

Santner gets the ball to turn sharply as Sohail is beaten and hit on the pads. He then comes down the track but is beaten as the ball goes off the pads to put off the wicketkeeper before the left-hander picks one off the last ball.

Williamson drops short as Sohail cuts it for a four before he is beaten next ball as it turns sharply. He then tries to hit it through the covers but is beaten again and misses the last ball too.

In the next over, Sohail takes the chances as he comes down the track and lofts Santner over long-on for a six.

Pakistan are 128 for three in 30 overs, needing another 110 runs from 20 overs for victory.
