Auckland (January 25, 2018): Pakistan dominated in the field after an attacking display of batting saw the Green Shirts post a mammoth total of 201-4 in the second T20 international against New Zealand at Eden Park, Auckland on Thursday.
Babar Azam reached his half century and Pakistan score 201/4 in their 20 overs thanks to early on-slaught by Fakhar Zaman and Ahmed Shehzad.
