New Zealand who lost their previous match against Pakistan outplayed them with a clinical performance in their last one. Pakistan scored a paltry 130 for 7 which was chased inside 17 overs by the Kiwi batters. Against Bangladesh, in their previous match, New Zealand won the match by 8 wickets chasing 138.

“An improvement again from the last game, nice to adjust to the conditions, clinical with the ball and we used the big side and the wind as well. Finn broke the back of the chase by being super-aggressive and Devon complemented him nicely. We thought it might suit it, we were limited with our other seam bowling options at the moment as we make sure to look after them through this period which is pretty hectic.”

“It’s great that there’s a number of players in different roles, on this surface we want to address what’s in front of us and we did that pretty well,” said Williamson after their win against Pakistan.
