Speaking of the match, senior opener Devon Conway and skipper Kane Williamson happened to be the axis of the entire New Zealand batting. The duo stitched a brilliant 181-run partnership for the second wicket after they lost Finn Allen early on the score of only 2 runs. But then came the magical spell of Mohammad Nawaz in favor of Pakistan. New Zealand lost wickets at regular intervals and their next six batters went back to the pavilion within the margin of only 37 runs. Pakistan managed to restrict Kiwis on the score of 261 runs in 49.5 overs.
