NZ vs PAK Live: Pakistan look to register their second win on the trot© AFP
New Zealand vs Pakistan, 2nd T20I, Tri-Series Live Updates: Babar Azam has raced to his half-century and he holds the key as Pakistan look to chase down 148 against New Zealand. After an opening stand of 36 runs, Pakistan lost their way in chase of 148 after losing the wickets of Mohammad Rizwan and Shan Masood in quick succession. Earlier, Devon Conway and Mark Chapman played knocks of 36 and 32 respectively as New Zealand posted 147/8 in 20 overs against Pakistan in the 2nd game of the ongoing tri-series. Earlier, the 61-run stand between Kane Williamson and Devon Conway came to an end in the 11th over as Mohammad Nawaz dismissed Devon Conway. New Zealand lost opener Finn Allen early after skipper Kane Williamson won the toss and opted to bat against Pakistan in the second T20I of the ongoing tri-nation series, also featuring Bangladesh. The match will be played at Hagley Oval in Christchurch. It would be interesting to see how the likes of Trent Boult and Tim Southee bowl against the likes Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam.
