Shaheen Afridi to Kane Williamson
Shortish and just outside off, Kane lets it be.

Shaheen Afridi to Kane Williamson
FOUR! Whipped away. Whippage, they call that. Fractionally short, Williamson has an opportunity and he does not miss out. Whips it to the deep square leg region. Deep backward square leg gets to his left but cannot stop that one.

1
Shaheen Afridi to Kane Williamson
Nearly pulled off a blinder there. The Pakistani skipper it was. Shortish and outside off, Kane strokes this uppishly. It goes dipping towards mid off. Shadab is well deep but he lunges and puts in a fantastic dive. The ball drops short eventually but still what an effort. A single though.

Shaheen Afridi to Tim Seifert

Shaheen Afridi to Kane Williamson
FOUR! THE 100-RUN PARTNERSHIP IS UP AS WELL. What poise from Kane here! Short ball, Williamson pulls it through the square leg region ferociously for a boundary.

Imad Wasim to Kane Williamson
MISFIELD AND FOUR! Wasim is not happy at all with that! Shorter and outside off, Williamson backs away and cuts this through cover-point. Riaz, at deep point, runs to his right and should have stopped it easily. But he fumbles and ends up conceding a boundary, in the end.

Shaheen Afridi to Tim Seifert
FOUR! CLUBBED! Tim has been in front of the Pakistan bowlers. Full and around off, Seifert powers it through mid off, wide of the man there, and the ball runs away to the boundary.

Shaheen Afridi to Tim Seifert
WIDE! A bit too harsh though, one would reckon. Seifert moves to the off side and looks to guide this very full ball down the leg side, down towards fine leg. He though misses and the ball just about goes past the leg pole, the keeper collects it. Wided straightaway though.

Shaheen Afridi to Tim Seifert
FOUR! Pace of Shaheen there. Also, the pace of the outfield. Very full and outside off, Tim Seifert digs it out well. It goes to the right of third man, just a few feet away from him, but the pace on the ball ends up taking it to the fence there.
16.3
1
Shaheen Afridi to Tim Seifert
Full and just outside off, pushed down to mid on for a quick single. The fielder there also fumbles in the first attempt and that made the single even more easier.

Shaheen Afridi to Kane Williamson
Short ball, Kane Willaimson goes for the pull shot but the ball bounces over his flashing blade.

Shaheen Afridi to Kane Williamson

Shaheen Afridi to Kane Williamson
Full and on off, Kane looked to whistle that over long on there but ends up mistiming it down to mid on. Ripples around the cricket world for a shot like that from Williamson.

Short and outside off, Williamson guides it straight to the man at point. Frustration for him.

5 dots in a row for Kane Williamson now. Shortish and around off, KW jumps and drives but finds short cover there.

Faheem Ashraf to Kane Williamson
And he gets to his 50. Off 37 balls. Shortish and around off, the New Zealand skipper hops and taps this to the off side for a single. He though is frustrated with himself on not getting it earlier.

Faheem Ashraf to Kane Williamson
DROPPED AND FOUR! Kane finishes it. But not without a fright. Full and on the off pole line, Williamson swings it towards deep square leg. The fielder at deep mid-wicket runs to his right. It was a wonderful effort from Wahab Riaz, he gets his fingers on it but cannot hold on. The ball ends up going into the fence. THE KIWIS WIN BY 9 WICKETS AND SEAL THE T20I SERIES IN THEIR FAVOUR!
