OUT! Umar Akmal is dismissed by Adam Milne. He gets a full toss which should have been hit for a six, in stead he deposits it into the hands of Guptill at long on. Pakistan 140-5

Both Akmal & Malik saving their wickets for next important match.#NZvPak

Ahmed Shehzad killed Pakistan's momentum which they had in powerplay. Now it's really tough for them. #NZvPAK #WT20

Pak loosing this match in world cup because there's a player in NZ who was born in India. And Pak against Indians in world cup..... #NZvPAK

Pakistan 123 for 3 after 15 overs

FOUR! McClenaghan bowls full outside off and Afridi gets his bat to it and sends tha ball scooting between cover and mid off

shehzad tried to ace a run chase like kohli but forgot that he has neither class nor skill to do that #NZvPAK

Pakistan 115 for 3 after 14 overs

SIX! A half tracker from Sodhi is dealt in the best possible fashion by Afridi. He rocks back and pulls it over the mid wicket fence

Pakistan 104-3

FOUR! Shahid Afridi makes a mark immediately after coming to the crease. He smashes Santner in between deep cover and long off

OUT! Shehzad is dismissed in the similar fashion as he was in the Bangladesh match. He tries to play a Dhoni like helicopter shot to a short and wide delivery from Santner but only manages it to deposit the ball in the safe hands of Guptill at wide mid wicket

You can see lots of Pakistan fans in Mohali..it feels like match is taking place in Multan...
Huge cheer #NZvPAK #WT20

Pakistan batsmen are facing it difficult to score runs. The Kiwi spinners are dictating terms. Pak 91 for 2 after 11 overs

Brace yourself another typical Pakistani collapse is on its way #NZvPAK

Pak 51-0 after 4 overs

SIX! That's massive. Sharjeel hoics McClenaghan to the mid wicket boundary. This is a dream start for Pakistan. 

Sharjeel Khan is on fire. Slams Mitchell McClenaghan for three consecutive boundaries on the leg side. He is batting on 36 off 17 balls

New Zealand score 180 for 5 in 20 overs.

FOUR! Ross Taylor digs out an yorker to the third man fence

New Zealand 160-4 in 18 overs

SIX! Luke Ronchi smashes Irfan over long on for an exquisite over boundary

Ross Taylor survives as he horrendously pulls an Irfan delivery only to see the ball going sky high and thankfully for him it falls in no man's land at square leg boundary

OUT! Afridi gets his second wicket. Anderson tries to power the Pakistani captain over long off but only manages to hand a simple catch to Shoaib Malik. Two quick strikes will help Pakistan in bringing down the Kiwi run rate. NZ 133-4

Are Pakistanis backing their batsmen to chase 180+ ?? They're digging their own grave.. #NZvPAK

Guptill is hammering Shahid Afridi's rank hops. Scores two boundaries on either side of the wicket. NZ 123 for 2 after 14 overs

New Zealand 110-2 after 13 overs

New Zealand have begun in the best possible fashion scoring 44 off the first 5 overs without the loss of any wickets. Martin Guptill has been the aggressor scoring 28 off 18 ball while Kane Williamson has scored 10 off 12 deliveries. All the bowlers have been taken apart with ease.
