Pakistan restricted New Zealand to a modest 134 for eight and then romped home in 18.4 overs to win the Group 2 Super 12 contest by five wickets for their in the ICC T20 World Cup.
Pacer Haris Rauf took four for 22, while spinners Imad Wasim and Shadab Khan also contributed in choking the batsmen in the middle overs. "Unfortunately, it didn't quite go our way and I suppose if we look at the opposition and how clinical they were at the death and not allowing us to time the ball, they were the highest class and for us it's trying to take some of those learnings and move forward," said Williamson.
