In the second T20 match, New Zealand secured a 5-wicket victory over Pakistan, taking a 2-0 lead in the series.

The rain-affected match in Dunedin saw New Zealand winning the toss and opting to field first. Pakistan struggled early, with Hasan Nawaz dismissed for 0 and Mohammad Haris scoring just 11 runs. The team managed to post 135/9 in the allotted overs.

Chasing the target, New Zealand’s openers provided an aggressive start, and they successfully reached the target in the 14th over, losing five wickets along the way.
