The visitors never recovered from these early jolts and were reduced to 76 for seven inside 12 overs. Shadab Khan, what on earth was that?
As, Green Elements beat Kiwi team in the third T20 match with 18 runs. DISCLAIMER: These Highlights are added by PTV Sports Official Dailymotion Channel. Sent in to bat, India struggled to force the pace against square turn from Mitchell Santner and canny changes of pace from Tim Southee and Hiroshima Boult. Play to start at 9. Looking to clear the deep mid-wicket fielder, Kohli sends the ball straight down his throat. Right in the slot and Pandey dispatches Sodhi for a huge maximum. After winning the toss, Pakistani skipper Sarfraz Ahmed decided to bat first. Dhawan resistance down the pitch and slices the ball over covers for a boundary. Pakistan vs New Zealand will play their match at 19:00 local, 11:00 PKT and at 06:00 GMT.
Fakhar hit a quick fifty while, Ahmed Shahzad scored 44 runs on 34 balls. What teams will be mindful of, though, is the sapping heat and humidity, and the possibility of rain and a truncated game. Faheem Ashraf took three wickets, Mohammad Amir and Shadab Khan these two took two wickets every of them, Rumman Raees and Hasan Ali these two took two wickets.
- Williamson and Guptill were tied down by some disciplined bowling.
This is just stunning. My word, what a catch from the New Zealand skipper. Big smile on his face as he gets up after a blinding grab. Hasan Ali can barely believe it. He mistimed his pull shot but would have hoped to get it wide of short mid-wicket. Williamson leaps across with one hand, couldn't have stretched it any further, and the ball sticks right at the tip of his fingers. Hasan Ali c Williamson b Munro 1 3 17. Oh boy, that danger of getting the lowest ODI score ever is still on. Still six runs to go. Looks a lot right now. Short ball outside off, Ashraf had top-edged one into the stands earlier. This, however, goes straight up and it's a simple catch for fine leg. It was too daunting a shot to pursue, with the ball rising and the line outside off. Shadab Khan, what on earth was that? Slower and fuller on off stump, he just goes for a wild slog across the line. More a stroke out of frustration, resigning to the fate. Half-hearted as well and he makes no contact. Six down now and the history books may be rewritten if this procession continues. Shadab Khan b Munro 0 6 13. Taken on the rebound! For a moment, Taylor had lost sight of the ball but the initial impact of his palm meant that the ball had gone up in the air enough for him to gather his wits. Calmly takes it in the end. Coming to the wicket, another poor shot from a Pakistani batsman. Back of a length outside off, extra bounce as Malik flashes hard at it. Only manages a thick edge that flies behind the wicket. For a moment, he might have thought he had got away but it was not to be. Half the side down now. This is getting shocking and embarrassing now. Shoaib Malik c Ross Taylor b Lockie Ferguson 3 27 12. What a way to get out! This is the last thing Pakistan needed after such a shaky start. Babar has gifted his wicket away here. Short and wide, he flayed it behind point and went for the risky second run. Santner was quick to attack the ball and fired in a flat throw at the keeper's end. Latham did the rest and he knew immediately. The replays confirm the inevitable and Babar walks back. Boult is on fire! There is his third scalp. What a summer he is having! This is the away curler that shapes away from around the middle and off channel, Hafeez had to play at it and he ends up just poking inside the line. The edge flies to first slip where Taylor takes another sharp catch. Duck for the experienced Hafeez and this is turning out to be a disastrous start for Pakistan. Boult is all over them at the moment. Hafeez c Ross Taylor b Boult 0 4 3. He nearly did this off the very first ball he faced but survived somehow. No leeway this time though. Boult has another, this is a reward for some real tight bowling. Attacks the off stump with a good length ball that comes in with the angle, no room for Fakhar to play the cut but he goes through with the stroke. Gets all cramped up and only manages an inside edge that rattles the timber. Pakistan have been jolted early. Fakhar Zaman b Boult 2 7 1. That's a cracker from Boult! Virtually unplayable stuff and nicely taken by Taylor at first slip. Almost seemed like he may put it down but Rosco held his nerve. A brute of a ball this, kicked up off the deck from a good length and seamed away sharply to leave Azhar Ali clueless. Squared up him completely. Santner will be relieved, that dropped catch hasn't cost NZ anything. This is a big blow to Pakistan though, Azhar is one of the men to have in such tricky run chases and he has been nipped out early. Azhar Ali c Ross Taylor b Boult 0 10.
