Azam, Sohail take Pakistan past 200

June 26, 2019 23:28

Pak 207-3 (44 ovs) vs NZ 237-6 | Scorecard

Change of ends for Boult. Sohail takes one from the first ball before Azam plays two dot balls and then takes a single. Sohail then opens the face of the bat and steers Boult fine on the off-side for a four.

Azam decides to target Santner as he slog sweeps the left-arm spinner over square leg for a four. He repeats the shot again off the next ball for another four followed by three singles as Pakistan go past 200, in the 42nd over.

In the next over, Sohail clips Boult on the leg side for one before Azam plays a beautiful cover drive for two runs and is only denied a boundary courtesy of a brilliant diving save from Ferguson at sweeper cover.

Santner, who was hit for two fours in his previous over, will bowl out here. A single to Sohail before Azam pulls a short ball which is half stopped by midwicket for two runs.

Pakistan need 31 from six overs for victory.
