PAK VS NZ - 2nd T20I, New Zealand tour of Pakistan, 2024

The second-string New Zealand team were no match for Pakistan today. It was one-way traffic all the way through. Will it be any different tomorrow? Do join our coverage for the third T20I. Until then, it's goodbye!

Babar, Pakistan captain: Have to set tone in first six overs. The way Shaheen, Naseem and Amir bowled was outstanding. Will experiment with the combination, will try different batters at different numbers. On paper whenever you look at the Pakistan team, every player looks like a match-winner. We try to play according to the situation. Have 10 matches before the T20 WC. On the day we try to do well in all three departments. Want everything up to the mark going into the World Cup.

Bracewell, NZ captain: Didn't score quite enough runs. We were slow to adapt to the surface and put ourselves under pressure. Want guys to learn from the situation. Got a game tomorrow, have to learn pretty quickly. One of the things we pride ourselves on as Black Caps is fighting till the end.

Shaheen, POTM: Did bowling after a few days. Not easy for a bowler to get the rhythm straightaway. Backed my skills. In T20s, swing disappears after one over. Bowled accordingly to what conditions demanded. Bowling has gotten stronger with return of Amir.

22:09 Local Time, 17:09 GMT, 22:39 IST: Comprehensive win for Pakistan who were brilliant with the ball earlier in the evening, bundling New Zealand out for just 90. All their bowlers chipped in led by Shaheen Afridi's 3/13. The chase was just a formality. They did lose the early wicket of Saim Ayub who fell to a brilliant return catch from Ben Lister. But Rizwan came outly..t and saw them home with an unbeaten 45. Hang around, we'll have the presentations shortly.
