Right then, that is it from this shortened but entertaining game where New Zealand go 2-0 up against Pakistan. Next up, is the 3rd T20I on 21st March Friday, where the Kiwis will be looking to seal the series while the Men in Green will play to stay alive. That will begin at 6.15 am GMT, but as you know, you can always join us early for all the build-up to the match. Until then, cheers and goodbye!
Michael Bracewell, the victorious skipper of New Zealand says that it was a great bowling performance from them and they were happy to chase this target. Adds that the wicket was under covers and there was extra bounce, so Pakistan tried the shorter deliveries more. Says that it was good to see both the openers taking the game to them and he is very happy with the effort. Ends by saying that the weather in Wellington is not bad either, and it is nice to see the fans supporting despite the challenging conditions.
Salman Agha, the captain of Pakistan says that it was a better game with a lot of positives. Adds that they batted well but need to finish well, and the fielding was outstanding. Adds that they need to adjust to the bounce to put up a better challenge to the Kiwis. Says that the spinners bowled well after the Powerplay, and then Haris Rauf also did well. Ends by saying that they need to be a bit better in the Powerplay with both bat and ball.
Tim Seifert is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his smashing knock. He says that it was good fun out there. Adds that after the first over, he thought it would be a good wicket, but the partnership worked out for them. Adds that he and Finn Allen have played a lot of cricket together, and it is always a nice feeling to play for the nation. Mentions that you are up against some of the best in the world and it is important to apply pressure and learn from your mistakes. Ends by saying that, he dropped two catches in the first game and was nervous but has worked on that.
Presentation Time...
Not much to write home about regarding Pakistan's bowling effort. Shaheen Afridi began with a maiden over, offering a glimmer of hope, but things quickly unraveled as the Kiwi openers unleashed a barrage of power hitting. Haris Rauf was a bright spot, claiming a couple of wickets and showing he'll be crucial in the upcoming games. Khushdil Shah held his own, but the rest of the attack proved far too expensive
Earlier in the game, Pakistan put up a competitive total, thanks to a solid innings from skipper Salman Agha, supported by handy cameos from Khushdil Shah and Shaheen Afridi. New Zealand made good use of the conditions with the ball — and apart from Zakary Foulkes and Michael Bracewell, every bowler contributed with a couple of wickets, which helped keep the Men in Green in check
Despite starting with a maiden over, New Zealand raced out of the blocks as both openers seemed to be in a contest of their own — who could hit more sixes. The pair smashed 10 sixes between them, effectively taking the game away early and breaking the back of the chase. While they didn’t stay till the end, the result was all but sealed by then. Mitchell Hay chipped in with a handy knock, and Michael Bracewell applied the finishing touches to seal the win
A comfortable win for the Kiwis! They take a 2-0 lead in the series with a strong all-round performance. Pakistan put up more of a fight compared to the previous game, but still have work to do if they want to stay in the series.

Drinks! Despite losing three wickets, New Zealand are well ahead in the game because of the carnage from the openers. They just need one partnership and they will get over the line, and they have enough quality to do that. Pakistan needs two-three wickets in quick succession to make a game out of this one. Also, James Neesham is the next man in.

OUT! LBW! Jahandad Khan has the last laugh, but the damage is already done here! He goes fuller and on middle, angling in. Finn Allen steps across to slog it over mid-wicket but misses and gets hit on the pads. There is a big appeal for LBW, and this time the finger goes up. However, Allen takes the review here. UltraEdge confirms no bat involved and Ball Tracking comes up with two reds and wickets is umpire's call. The on-field call remains but the Kiwis do not lose the review.  Allen goes for a blazing 38 off 16, and New Zealand are 87/2.
