In a pivotal victory, New Zealand clinched the T20 series against Pakistan with two games remaining, fueled by opener Finn Allen’s extraordinary performance.
Allen’s record-setting innings of 137 runs in 62 balls, featuring 16 sixes and five fours, established a new benchmark for the highest individual score by a New Zealander in T20 internationals. This remarkable display propelled New Zealand to a commanding total of 224 for seven.
Despite Pakistan’s pursuit, they could only muster 179 for seven, falling short of the 225-run target. Finn Allen’s aggressive batting, notably scoring 27 runs in a single over, played a pivotal role in securing New Zealand’s victory.
The upcoming matches in the series are scheduled for Christchurch on Friday and Sunday.
