Rizwan then gets a four off Sodhi hammering one over mid-wicket but Sodhi strikes back to trap him LBW. 23 runs and two wickets in the last three overs.

22:18 (IST)

OUT! Another wicket for NZ as Sodhi traps Rizwan LBW!  Length delivery on middle, it goes straight on. Rizwan goes back and looks to whip it to the leg side but misses and gets hit right in front. Rizwan doesn't opt for a review and rightly so.

Southee starts off well with the wicket of Babar. It's a HUGE wicket for NZ. That slower one which Babar doesn't pick. He misses his heave and gets castled. Fakhar then swings and misses one in that over. There are just two singles in that over along with the wicket of Babar.

After 4 overs,Pakistan 22/0 ( Mohammad Rizwan (W) 12 , Babar Azam (C) 8)

Pakistan slowly upping the ante

Boult doesn't start the over well. Darts the first short which is pulled away for a four. A dot later, he drifts one down the leg side and amid the appeal for a caught behind, the umpire calls it a WIDE! Boult then follows up with four dot balls to finish off the over. The last one was slightly back of length, Rizwan missed his pull and got hit on the box. 5 runs off the Boult over.

21:10 (IST)

After 19 overs,New Zealand 125/7 ( Mitchell Santner 0 , Ish Sodhi 0)

Pakistan have been brilliant in the last few overs.

Brilliant from Rauf. He's hit the deck hard, bowled those hard lengths and varied his pace well. He got the wickets of Conway and Phillips in the 18th over and gave away just 3 runs.

Shaheen bowled the penultimate over, the first was a dot the next one was very full on the pads, Seifert missed his flick. An LBW appeal was turned down. Pakistan opted for a review but the impact was outside leg. After a leg bye, Seifert got across and scooped one wide of the short fine leg fielder. Shaheen though bounced back the next ball and removed Seifert with a slower ball. Just 6 runs and a wicket off the Shaheen over. 9 runs and 3 wickets ott the last two.

21:07 (IST)

OUT! Shaheen sends back Seifert. It's the slower one, full on middle and leg, Seifert goes for a wild swing, ends up getting a top edge to point where the fielder makes no mistake.

20:56 (IST)

OUT! Rauf gets his second wicket. Good length delivery outside off, a touch slower. Conway looks to heave across the line, doesn't get it off the middle, ends up helping it straight into the hands of the deep mid-wicket fielder.

20:54 (IST)

After 17 overs,New Zealand 116/4 ( Devon Conway 27 , Glenn Phillips 13)

NZ finally get a four after four overs.

Hasan Ali didn't have the best time in his first two overs, going for 19. But here he gets his lengths right and varies them well. Gives away five singles and a two for 7 runs off it.

Shaheen is brought back into the attack. He bowls a couple of yorkers and gives away just five runs off the first five balls. It was turning out to be a good over but then he bowls the last one into the slot and Phillips smashes it down the ground for a four.

20:46 (IST)

20:44 (IST)

After 15 overs,New Zealand 100/4 ( Devon Conway 21 , Glenn Phillips 4)

New Zealand had upped the scoring in the last two overs but Pakistan have again pulled it back well. Hasan Ali runs out Williamson off the first ball of the 14th over with a brilliant fielding effort. He bowls a NO BALL in that over as well but it doesn't cost them much as the Free Hit goes for just a single. Just 5 runs off the Hasan Ali over.

Rauf is then brought back to bowl. He mixes his pace well and with the pitch being slow, the batsmen find it difficult to connect it off the middle. Phillips goes for a pull but misses as he is early into the shot. Rauf too gives away just five. 10 off the last two overs as NZ's 100 comes up.

20:42 (IST)

20:40 (IST)

20:35 (IST)

OUT! Brilliant bit of fielding from Hasan Ali. Williamson looks to smash a back of a length delivery to the off side but doesn't connect it well, he sets off, Hasan Ali the bowler, charges to his left picks up the ball and scores the direct hit at the striker's end as Williamson is sent back. Replays show Williamson was short.

20:32 (IST)

After 13 overs,New Zealand 90/3 ( Kane Williamson (C) 25 , Devon Conway 17)

New Zealand finally up the ante.

Hafeez bowls three good balls, gives away a single off the first two and then has the LBW decision overturned as Williamson opts for a review and the ultra edge detects an inside edge. Hafeez then bowls one short and Williamson pulls it over mid-wicket for a FOUR! He then charges down, looks to loft is done in by the flight but still goes through with the shot to help it clear the long on rope for a one-handed SIX. The last ball yields a single as NZ take 12 from the over.

Conway then gets into the act as he unleashes a string on sweeeps. A poor bit of fielding on the deep backward square leg gifts him the first four, off Shadab. The next one is hit with precision and in the gap and the next one is reverse swept wide of the short third man fielder. 15 off the Shadab over. 27 off the last two.

20:30 (IST)

4 4 4! Conway unleashing those sweeps, off Shadab. The fielder misfields one at the fence off the first one and allows a four. Conway then hits one in the gap for four off consecutive balls. He then goes the other way off the next, unleashes the reverse sweep which whizzes past the short third man fielder.

20:24 (IST)

NOT OUT! Length delivery outside off, spinning back in. Williamson goes for a reverse sweep but seems to get an inside edge onto this thigh pad. They all go up in an appeal and the umpire lifts the finger. Williamson straightaway opts for a review and replays show on ultra edge that he indeed got some bat on it.

20:22 (IST)

After 11 overs,New Zealand 63/3 ( Kane Williamson (C) 13 , Devon Conway 2)

The spinners are doing a great job here for Pakistan..

Hafeez starts off really well as he takes the wicket of Neesham first ball. He varies his pace well and is disciplined with his lines. Gives away just four runs off the over.

Shadab too varies his pace nicely and beats Williamson's outside edge with a lovely flighted delivery. He gives away two singles and a leg bye. Just 7 off the last two overs.

20:20 (IST)

20:16 (IST)

OUT! Hafeez strikes first ball. NeeshaM holes out to deep mid-wicket. He looks to heave across the line but doesn't connect it off the middle. Fakhar Zaman on the deep mid-wicket fence moves to his left and takes a good catch. Neesham promotion doesn't work for NZ

20:12 (IST)

After 9 overs,New Zealand 56/2 ( Kane Williamson (C) 9 , James Neesham 1)

Pakistan have managed to keep the runs dry. The bowlers have done a decent job so far.

Shadab starts off well, the first one he raps it on Mitchell's pads but a stifled appeal is turned down as it was heading down the leg side. 

Imad bowls the next over. Mitchell goes after him first ball and hits a flat six over long off. But Imad has his man off the next ball and has him caught at long on. The next three deliveries yield just two singles. 8 runs off the Imad over and he finishes with impressive figures of 4-0-24-1

Preview: After their historic victory over India on Sunday that broke their World Cup jinx against their neighbours and arch-rivals, Pakistan gear up for another historic contest on Tuesday when they take on New Zealand in their second game of the T20 World Cup.

For New Zealand, who had reached the semis in the last edition of the tournament five years earlier before losing to England, this will be their first match of their campaign. They had earlier lost both their warmup matches against Australia and England, but are nevertheless a force to be reckoned with and are counted among the sides likely to finish among the last four.

The Black Caps, however, will be up against an emotionally-charged and upbeat Pakistan side on Tuesday, a side that enters the mega event carrying with them the disappointment and frustration of the pullouts staged by New Zealand and England from their scheduled tours of Pakistan.

New Zealand had arrived in Pakistan for the first time since 2003, but their limited-overs tour came to an abrupt end just minutes before the start of the first one-day international in Rawalpindi, with their security officials citing a threat though they never quite disclosed the details.

England, who were supposed to send their men's and women's team just before the T20 World Cup, followed suit not long after, though they cited player workload as their reason instead of security concerns.

Having already beaten India, Pakistan will now hope to channel their frustration and anger caused by the last-minute cancellations into their performance on the field, and will hope to maintain the same clinical approach that helped them thrash the Men in Blue by 10 wickets on on Sunday.
