PAK vs NZ 2nd T20I Schedule, Live Streaming, Date, Head to Head, Playing XI Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather: Salman Ali Agha-led new look Pakistan will take on Michael Bracewell’s New Zealand in the second of the five-match T20I series on Tuesday. Blackcaps thrashed Pakistan in the first T20I at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Sunday.
After being put in to bat, Pakistan got off to a horrendous start. Both their openers, Mohammad Haris and Hasan Nawaz were dismissed with a no-score as Pakistan were struggling at 1/3 by just the third over. With the fall of Shadab Khan, Pakistan were at 11/4, starting at their lowest total in the format but crucial runs from Khushdil and skipper Salman made sure the Men In Green reached 91. Chasing a below-par total of 92 was never going to be a problem for the host as it romped home in just 10.1 overs to win the match with nine wickets to spare.
The second match will be played at University Oval in Dunedin.
