Pakistan’s left-handed bowlers Shaheen Shah Afridi and Mohammad Amir took five wickets to stop New Zealand at just 90 runs. Then, Mohammad Rizwan played well to help Pakistan win the second Twenty20 match.
Shaheen got three wickets, and Amir got two wickets. New Zealand batted first but couldn’t make many runs. Rizwan scored 45 runs and helped Pakistan win easily. This win gives Pakistan a 1-0 lead in the series. In the first match, it rained, so it didn’t finish.
New Zealand tried to take wickets, and they got a few, but Pakistan’s Muhammad Irfan Khan helped Rizwan to finish the match. Amir, who hadn’t played for Pakistan in a long time, did very well. He took wickets in the beginning.
