New Zealand captain Michael Bracewell is satisfied with his side’s victory over Pakistan in the ongoing T20I series.
Hosts New Zealand won the second T20I game against Pakistan by five wickets with 11 balls remaining. Due to the weather changes, the game was cut down to 15 overs at University Oval.
In 15 overs, the away side scored 135/9. Salman Ali Agha scored a quick 46 runs in 28 deliveries.
However he did not get support from any Pak batter as a result, New Zealand did get an easy total to chase. The hosts get the backing from Tim Seifert, who added 45 runs in 28 balls.
Finn Allen’s 38 runs in 16 balls placed the Kiwis in a comfortable position to win the game by five wickets.
After the game Bracewell said: “Very good bowling performance. We bowled well into the wind. The wicket has been under cover. There was extra bounce on it. The death bowlers bowled really well. We were happy at the half time. It was tough bowling into the wind. Tried to hit it into the wind. We have been playing some good cricket. The guys are hitting the ball well. The bowlers are hitting the right lines. It was pretty cold but hopefully we played some entertaining cricket.”
New Zealand have now taken a 2-0 lead in the five-match T20I series. The next game will take place on Friday, 21 March, at Eden Park.
