The foundations of Pakistan were shaken; Kiwis diamond in on legendary feat
The third match of the five-match T20I series between New Zealand and Pakistan is underway. Pakistan won the toss and chose to bowl in the match being held at University Owen, New Zealand’s venue.
But the Kiwis’ batting was mistaking Pakistan’s calculations. Batting first, New Zealand scored 224 runs in front of Pakistan for the loss of seven wickets in 20 overs.
Finn Allen scored a brilliant century in the New Zealand batting line-up and performed well. Allan scored 137 runs in 62 balls. The batting of the star was accompanied by five fours and 16 sixes. Allan batted at 220.97 today. After this smashing performance, a handful of record achievements were also sought by the Kiwis batter.
