Match Details
Skipper Tom Latham was the next batter in and developed another partnership with Young to keep the Kiwis in the game. The right-hander Young stepped on the gas in the middle overs while Latham also brought out some sweeps and kept the scorecard ticking. The 74-run stand for the third wicket ceased when Young was outwitted by Shadab Khan on 87(91). Mark Chapman was quick to gather the momentum back for New Zealand. The southpaw went on an assault in the 34th over and hammered Salman Agha for 22 runs.
The southpaw Chapman was dismissed by Shadab on 43(33) courtesy of a well-anticipated catch by Rizwan. Following Chapman’s wicket, New Zealand drifted away from the right course and lost wickets in a cluster. Latham completed his 21st half-century in ODI cricket and Rachin Ravindra added a crucial 28(20) that almost cruised New Zealand to 300. All the Pakistan bowlers were successful in extracting wickets barring Agha Salman. Shaheen scalped the most breakthroughs and ended his stint on 3/46. Stick around for the post-match presentation!
