Finn Allen (62) and Devon Conway (49) forged a 117-run stand for the opening wicket to chase a below-par target of 131 runs set by Pakistan.

New Zealand has avenged the defeat to Pakistan in the 1st match in some style. The home team defeated Pakistan by 9 wickets on Tuesday. Pakistan batsmen huffed and puffed to a score of 130/7 in 20 overs after choosing to bat 1st. In reply, aided by brilliant 117 runs opening stand between Finn Allen & Devon Conway, NZ achieved the target in 16.1 overs.
