NZ 36-0 (5 ovs) vs Pakistan | Scorecard
Afridi goes full and on the stumps as Mitchell flicks it off his pads through midwicket for a couple of runs.
A single each to Mitchell and Guptill before the former slaps a short wide delivery from Afridi through the covers for a four.
Spinner Wasim continues as Guptill plays out three dot balls in a row before taking a single to long-on.
A single to Mitchell to the same region before Guptill cuts the last ball behind point for a four.
Pace bowler Hasan Ali comes into the attack. Mitchell welcomes him by lofting the first ball straight back over the bowler's head for a six.
He looks to pull the first ball but gets it off the inside half for a single and Guptill nearly inside edges the next back to the stumps for another run.
A single to Mitchell to mid-on before Guptill slashes the next square over the off-side for a four.
But Hasan has overstepped to concede a free hit but he does well to bowl a yorker as Guptill gets just a single from the free hit delivery.
