Pakistan 260 all out, 47.2 overs while chasing 321-run target against New Zealand at National Bank Cricket Stadium in Karachi

William Peter O'Rourke was declared player of the match and Salman Agha was declared player of the series

Kiwis, with help of Kane Williamson, successfully chased 305-run target set by South Africa at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium

New Zealand could only manage 75 runs in response to the target of 160, and thus lost by 84-run from Afghanistan in the 14th match of ICC T20 World Cup 2024.

Previously positioned at number 10, Babar Azam's ascent comes on the heels of subdued performances by Indian and Australian batsmen in their recent Test matches.

Opener Saim Ayub couldn't provide a solid start and was out after scoring 10 runs and Mohammad Rizwan added 24 run  while Babar Azam fought to complete his fifty but got out for 58 runs.

The Kiwis have set 195-run target for Pakistan by batting first in the second T20I match but Pakistan could score only 173 runs at Seddon Park, Hamilton.

Babar Azam’s 57 runs could not help Pakistan chase the target of 227 runs set by Kiwis.

The both sides are much excited for today’s clash to reach the final of ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023.

The latest reports say that there is a strong chance of heavy rain during the 41st match of the ongoing mega event.
