We didn't use our brains in death overs - Grant Flower
In a frank post-mortem, Grant Flower said Pakistan "didn't use [their] brains" towards the end of New Zealand's innings, in which 85 runs were plundered off the final 31 balls

Santner's positivity helped me drop anchor - Nicholls
Henry Nicholls has said Mitchell Santner's positivity at the crease helped him bind the innings together with his 111-ball 82. The pair lifted New Zealand from 99 for 6 with a 79-run stand.
"It was great the way Mitchell came out and was positive, which allowed me to play more of an anchor role and keep wickets in hand from that position. Credit needs to go to Pakistan the way they got those early wickets, but we had to play positive. The wind and one short boundary made us realise 250 probably wasn't going to be enough."
Henry's dismissal in the 45th over brought together ninth-wicket pair Mitchell McClenaghan and Matt Henry, who provided an explosive finish to the innings, hitting seven fours and six sixes between them.
"I was dirty on myself getting out when I did - didn't want to miss out on some overs," Nicholls said. "But it was probably a blessing the way they had that partnership. Matt got hit a couple of times but way he came back was massive to us, in being able to get a score on the board."
