Pakistan 91-5 (15 ovs) vs NZ 134-8 | Scorecard

Neesham comes back into the attack. Imad Wasim comes down the track but fails to time his loft down the ground for two runs as he gets it over the fielder at mid-off.

He takes a single off the second ball on the off-side and Shoaib Malik gets an inside edge for another run before Imad misses the glance as it goes off the pad through to the wicketkeeper and he takes one off the last ball.

Sodhi continues as Pakistan are desperate for a few boundaries. Imad tries the reverse sweep but fails to connect.

Sodhi bowls a wide down the leg side to Imad as the two batsmen also cross over for another extra run.

Malik cuts the short ball but can't get it in the gap for another run.

Sodhi gives away seven runs in his third over, with 53 needed from six overs for victory at just under nine per over.

Boult, who has two overs in hand, is back into the attack. Malik is unable to get a run off the first ball before he takes a quick single to short thirdman.

Imad tries the reverse paddle but misses the full delivery which goes down the leg side.

He then smashes the left-arm pacer over the off-side for a four but perishes next ball.

Imad tries the reverse but misses the full delivery and is trapped leg before wicket for 11. He doesn't take the review as he hobbles off the field, having suffered a blow on his leg.

Asif Ali off to a confident start as he steers the wide delivery from Boult past point for a four.
