New Zealand vs Pakistan 2nd T20I: When and Where To Watch

The New Zealand vs Pakistan T20I series travels to the University Oval in Dunedin for the second game, with the Kiwis hoping to follow up on their commanding first win. Pakistan, seeking to establish a new identity in the shortest form, will be looking to rebound after a poor performance in the opening T20I.

Pakistan's Search for a New Beginning

Pakistan's batting order, deprived of the services of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, faltered in the first game, being bowled out for a paltry 91 runs. The lack of experience in the batting lineup was reflected as they could not cope with the conditions. Four of their top six batsmen were dismissed for single-digit scores, and Pakistan recorded their fifth-lowest total in T20I history.

For Pakistan to even the series, the responsibility will fall on captain Salman Agha, Shadab Khan, and Mohammad Haris to deliver and bring stability to the batting order. Adjustments to the team balance may be made to support their prospects for a better performance in this pivotal second game.

New Zealand's Dominant Performance

New Zealand was almost spotless in the first T20I. Kyle Jamieson had a dream comeback, taking three wickets, and the rest of the bowling department contributed well. The only thing they could work upon was a couple of dropped catches in the field.

Tim Seifert and Finn Allen provided quick runs to make sure of the win in a bit more than 10 overs. New Zealand would look to take their winning series to 2-0.
