Pakistan faced another tough defeat following their early exit from the Champions Trophy. In the first T20 match against New Zealand, they recorded their lowest-ever total in a 20-over game, getting bowled out for just 91 runs. New Zealand’s bowlers, Jacob Duffy (4/14) and Kyle Jamieson (3/8), played a key role in dismantling Pakistan’s batting lineup at Hagley Oval.
Chasing the small target, New Zealand made it look easy. They secured a dominant nine-wicket victory in just over 10 overs. Tim Seifert led the chase with 44 runs, while Finn Allen and Tim Robinson also made valuable contributions.
This defeat adds to Pakistan’s recent struggles in international cricket, raising concerns about their batting performance and overall team form.
