New Zealand defeats Pakistan by 46 runs in first T20

New Zealand gave 227 runs target to Pakistan and after completion of 15 overs Pakistan stood at 159 runs. New Zealand hosted Pakistan in the first T20 international of the five-match series on Friday.

Touch short just inside the guidelines on off and he confusingly throws his bat at it, Mark Chapman sprints forward and takes an absolute blinder at backward point, kept his eyes locked on the ball and dived impeccably to hold onto it and that also sums up the match as New Zealand register a comprehensive win over Pakistan and go one up in the five-match series.
