New Zealand vs Pakistan, 1st T20I at Auckland, PAK in NZ, Dec 18 2020 - Match Result

gets underneath this one, and finishes it off with a flourish! Another bouncer from Wahab and Santner was waiting for this one. Helped it on its way and watched it sail over fine leg. NZ go 1-0 up in the series

hits him on the pads. Another dot ball. This is a tight over from Wahab, though you suspect it's come too late

bouncer. Nearly took the NZ captain's helmet off with it. Decent pace, too

chipped over cover and they jog back for a couple. New Zealand a boundary away now

Tried to make room for himself but Wahab bowls a yorker outside off

gives himself room, Afridi follows him but it's smashed back to long-on. Expensive over, and NZ need just 6 off 2 overs now

angling down legside, and he gets a legbye down for a single. Seems to have rolled his ankle, though. Pakistan review, but I can tell you in advance, that's not out

In the slot - this has been a poor over from the usually dependable Shaheen. Right in the slot and Neesham clobbers it over cow corner. Sails into the stands for a maximum

slower ball Neesham tried to poke it down to third man, but finds himself beaten

bouncer, but he's taken it too far. Well above his head and the umpire calls wide

slower ball, Neesham watchfully defends

whoa, that's classy. Rare occasion that Shaheen misses his length, and Neesham gets it right off the middle over Shaheen's head. Lands square on the rope and he's begun the over with six! Asking rate under six for the first time now

flicked away deftly through the onside, and the cap off the over with a couple

runs it down to third man

dabbled to short third. Another tight over as the asking rate climbs slightly again

short, it pops up into the air. He had no control over that shot. Lucky not to see it go straight to a fielder

full toss smashes into the from pad, and it's given! New Zealand review, but Chapman will be lucky to survive that. Yep, hit him in line, which was the only question, and Chapman's on his way

wide down legside. Pakistan can ill-afford this sloppiness right now

digs it out and hands Champan the strike

absolutely glorious batting from Chapman Moves away, creates some room and slaps Wahab over extra cover for a boundary! Expensive over that included some exquisite cricket from Chapman and a costly error from Faheem. NZ need under 7 an over now
