Rauf's double strike rocks NZ

October 26, 2021 21:01

NZ 119-6 (18 ovs) vs Pakistan | Scorecard

Hasan continues as he starts his new over with a low full toss which Conway drives down to long-on for a single.

Phillips takes another run off the next to the same region for another run. This good bowling from Pakistan as New Zealand are restricted to just singles.

Five singles from the first five balls before Phillips pulls the last ball for a couple of runs, as Hasan gives away just seven runs in his third over.

Pace bowler Afridi is back into the attack. Conway manages just a single off the first ball as New Zealand are without a boundary for 20 balls.

The next ball is a half-volley on the pads as Phillips misses the flick and he manages to take a leg bye.

He connects with the flick two balls later but ends up hitting it on the bounce to deep midwicket for just a single.

However, he smashes the last ball straight down the ground for a four, the first boundary for New Zealand after 24 balls.

Rauf is back into the attack. Conway looks to attack the pace bowler but holes out the first ball to Babar at long-on for 27.

The next ball is just outside the off-stump as Phillips pokes and misses.

He pulls the third ball but fails to get it in the gap as Hasan takes a good catch running forward from deep midwicket.

Tim Siefert gets off the mark with two runs through square leg and keeps strike with one to long-on, as Rauf gives away just three runs in the 18th over.
