Afridi and Amir set up one-sided Pakistan win over New Zealand

New Zealand 90 (Chapman 19, Afridi 3-13, Amir 2-13, Abrar 2-15, Shadab 2-15) was defeated by Pakistan 92 for 3 (Rizwan 45*, Lister 1-10) by seven wickets.

On both sides of the border, two different T20 innings were played on Thursday night. one in which the ball appeared to nearly always land in the bat’s sweet spot.

Shaheen and Amir have a party

After winning the toss, Pakistan decided to bowl. Because Afridi and Amir bowled in tandem, they had the ideal combination of bowlers. And if that wasn’t enough, they were sparked by an outstanding fielding performance. In the third over, Shadab, positioned at backward point, made a low diving move to his right to bag Tim Seifert, giving Pakistan their first wicket. Seifert lost his bottom hand and gained a leading edge when Afridi lowered his tempo during his effort to flick. That was left to Shadab.

And that was only the beginning.

Amir, bowling for Pakistan for the first time since August 2020, duplicated the trick in the following over. Tim Robinson was foxed by him, and he ended up spooning the ball to short cover off the bat’s toe end. Two days ago, a duck made its debut. In his second game, just four.

Dean Foxcroft and Mark Chapman, with a pulled six and a clipped four, respectively, temporarily defused the situation. However, Amir stopped any momentum from building for New Zealand when he had Foxcroft lofting to mid-off for 13. After taking three wickets in the powerplay, New Zealand was never able to recover from the early blows.

Rizwan takes Pakistan home

As early as the second ball of Pakistan’s innings, the leading edge was introduced when Saim Ayub attempted to spin Ben Lister off his hips but instead sent a return catch.

However, Babar and Rizwan made sure Pakistan stayed on course. Shortly after, Babar punched Jacob Duffy to the off-side boundary, and Rizwan drove Lister’s opening delivery for four.

Ben Sears was hammered by both batsmen after just 14 runs were scored in the first three overs. Babar also flicked him for four, while Rizwan pulled and drove him for six and four, respectively.
