The match showcased New Zealand batters Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips stepping up to batter Pakistan in New Zealand’s another impressive win.

Lifting the team from a precarious situation, Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips played their match-winning knocks of (72) and (70) unbeaten respectively to take the team over the line. It was the stellar performance from both Mitchell and Phillips after openers failed to provide the team a solid foundation. Both players stitched a 139-run stand to take the team out of adversity.

Moreover, Babar Azam, who had registered consecutive three half-centuries in the past games, could only manage to amass (19) runs.
