New Zealand's performance was nothing short of spectacular. Even though Shaheen Shah Afridi didn't bowl, they made light work of a daunting 345-run chase. They faced an early setback when Conway was dismissed for a golden duck. Ravindra's exceptional innings set the tempo, and he was unfortunate to fall just short of a well-deserved century. Williamson capitalized on the opportunity for valuable batting practice and retired after reaching his half-century. Mitchell and Chapman also made significant contributions with their fifties, particularly the latter's explosive knock.

Throughout the match, New Zealand appeared to be in complete control, sending a resounding message with their victory over a strong Pakistan bowling attack. The pitch, especially under the lights, favoured the batsmen, with only Usama Mir's leg-spin providing some resistance from the Pakistani bowlers. New Zealand's ability to chase down 346 with 6.2 overs to spare demonstrated their dominance in the contest.

LIVE PAK VS NZ Warm-Up Match: Kane Williamson After The Match

"Just great to get through with some batting in the middle which is really nice. [on the injured knee] It has held up pretty well and some icing now which is a part of the process. Wasn't a reality 5 months ago, was fortunate with the recovery and nice to be named in the squad. Went pretty well and nice to build on that. A fantastic hit-out. Pakistan are an outstanding side. It is an exercise and nice to compete and do all those things. There's always things to work on, great batting performance on a really good surface. We head off to a different surface against a different opposition and we look forward to it ahead of our first game."
