Pakistan showcased a formidable bowling performance, spearheaded by Shaheen Afridi's figures of 3-13 and Mohammad Amir's 2-13, restricting New Zealand to a mere 90 runs in the second T20 encounter. Afridi's early breakthroughs, including the dismissal of Tim Seifert, set the tone for Pakistan's dominance, while Amir's crucial strikes in the powerplay further dented New Zealand's batting lineup.

In response, New Zealand struggled to build partnerships, with spinners Abrar Ahmed and Shadab Khan also contributing vital wickets. Despite a brief resistance from Cole McConchie, New Zealand collapsed to 90 all out.

Pakistan faced an early setback in their chase, losing wickets, but Mohammad Rizwan's composed unbeaten 45 steered them to a comfortable victory with 7.5 overs to spare.
