Pakistan Defeats New Zealand in T20 Thriller

Pakistan Edges New Zealand in Thrilling T20 Encounter

Lahore, April 10, 2024 – In a nail-biting finish at the Gaddafi Stadium, Pakistan secured a narrow five-run victory over New Zealand in the third T20I, taking a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.

Match Summary

Batting first, Pakistan posted a competitive 178/6, thanks to a brilliant 56 off 36 balls by captain Babar Azam and a fiery 32* (14) from Iftikhar Ahmed. New Zealand’s bowlers, led by Ish Sodhi (2/25), kept the hosts in check, but a late onslaught in the death overs pushed Pakistan to a defendable total.

In response, New Zealand fought hard with opener Tim Seifert smashing 52 off 33, while Mark Chapman contributed a quick 42. However, Pakistan’s pace attack, spearheaded by Shaheen Afridi (3/34) and Mohammad Amir (2/28), held their nerve in the final overs, restricting the Kiwis to 173/8.

Key Moments

A crucial 18th over by Shaheen Afridi, where he dismissed Chapman, turned the game in Pakistan’s favor.

Debutant fast bowler Abbas Afridi impressed with 2/37, including the wicket of dangerous hitter Jimmy Neesham.

New Zealand needed 15 off the last over, but Haris Rauf’s tight bowling sealed the win for Pakistan.

Post-Match Reactions

Babar Azam (Pakistan Captain): 'The way the team fought back in the last few overs was exceptional. Shaheen and Amir showed their experience, and the young bowlers stepped up when needed.'

Michael Bracewell (New Zealand Stand-in Captain): 'We were in the game till the end, but a couple of missed opportunities cost us. Credit to Pakistan’s bowlers for holding their nerve.'

What’s Next?

The fourth T20I will be played in Rawalpindi on April 13, with Pakistan looking to clinch the series and New Zealand aiming to level the scoreline.

Brief Scores:
Pakistan: 178/6 (Babar Azam 56, Iftikhar 32*; Sodhi 2/25)
New Zealand: 173/8 (Seifert 52, Chapman 42; Shaheen 3/34)
