Latest Updates
NZ vs PAK LIVE: Tim Southee After 2nd T20I
"A good surface, Finn Allen and Kane set it up at the top. Milne was outstanding, Sears is a young guy showing a lot of character. And Ish shouldn’t be understated, going for 20 in his first over but coming back strong with those wickets to win us the game. He’s always a livewire in the field. The wickets kept flowing in our innings towards the end, but the guys at the top had done enough for a win."
NZ vs PAK Live: Pakistan Captain Shaheen Afridi After 2nd T20I
"To be honest, bowling first is always tricky. You can try to go for swing to get wickets, but we didn’t get any. Had we got early wickets, we could have kept them down to around 170. I think we came back strong with the ball, Haris and Abbas bowled really well, even Usama Mir."
NZ vs PAK Live: Finn Allen After Winning Player of the Match
"Feel like I have to be adaptable and have different gears to my game, glad it came through today. I thought 200 would be a good score, and we were going good when Daryl came out to bat. (On Williamson) Hes a calming figure, we always try to bounce off each other and help each other."
