Amir to Ross Taylor, FOUR, this is brilliant batting. Not much Amir could do with that. 147kph yorker just outside off, Taylor squeezes it off the outside edge to the third man fence
16.1 -
Amir to Ross Taylor, FOUR, what a way to greet a bowler. Premeditation at its best. Taylor had set himself for the scoop, Amir kept it on a length outside off, lapped over short fine for a much needed boundary
15.1 -
Afridi to Corey Anderson, FOUR, Anderson needs to get going, if New Zealand need a big score. Fired full and on the stumps, Anderson clears his front leg and whips it in front of square, wide of long-on for a boundary
14.1 -
Sami to Guptill, FOUR, not a muscle moved. Guptill is into the 80s. Back of a length and on off, Guptill makes room and crunches it through extra cover, Afridi and Shehzad were mere spectators at extra cover and mid-off
13.4 -
Afridi to Guptill, FOUR, Guptill is upping the ante here, another poor delivery. Short and outside off, Guptill cuts it square on the off-side, sweeper was moved straighter and he had no chance of stopping that
13.1 -
Afridi to Guptill, FOUR, horrible delivery. Drifts it down leg, Guptill helps himself to another boundary, kneels down and pings the sweep to the long leg fence. Deep backward square could only see the ball reach the rope
13.0 -
Irfan to Corey Anderson, FOUR, that is murdered down the ground. Anderson backs away and Irfan offers length outside off, brings those strong forearms into play and drills it to the left of mid-off for the second boundary of the over
12.2 -
Irfan to Corey Anderson, FOUR, unlucky! Not where he intended, but Anderson won't mind it. His first boundary. Shortish and around off, Anderson winds up for a swipe across the line, the under-edge evades the stumps and Sarfraz's dive
10.5 -
Afridi to Guptill, FOUR, once again the sweep fetches runs for Guptill. Tossed up on off, Guptill goes down and nails it to the left of mid-wicket this time, the fielder had no chance of cutting that off
10.3 -
Afridi to Guptill, FOUR, that's a top shot. Split the two fielders in the deep to perfection. Kneels down and sweeps the flighted delivery in front of square, beat deep backward square and deep mid-wicket
8.2 -
Afridi to Munro, FOUR, slip would have snaffled it with ease. Googly on a fuller length around off, Munro goes half-heartedly on the drive and the outside edge just evades Sarfraz's gloves. Afridi has his hands up
7.4 -
Irfan to Guptill, FOUR, Irfan can look how much ever he wants, but that was a poor delivery. Full and wide of off, Guptill has no half measures, goes through with the drive and the outside edge speeds away to the third man fence
5.5 -
Sami to Guptill, FOUR, Guptill is tearing them apart. Banged in halfway down, it sat up for the pull and Guptill obliged, he backed away and hammered it over mid-wicket, there was a fielder in the deep, but got it wide of him
3.4 -
Sami to Williamson, leg byes, FOUR, Sami's idea is right, but is not executing it correctly. He doesn't want to give room or width to the batsman, but ends up drifting onto leg-stump, Williamson fails to meet with the glance, but the ball brushes the thigh pad and runs away fine
2.5 -
Amir to Guptill, FOUR, edged and four. No one at slip and that ball races away. Afridi under pressure. Back of a length and around off, Guptill makes room and throws the kitchen sink, the outside edge runs away fine
2.4 -
Amir to Guptill, FOUR, this was not a bad delivery. Guptill moved to the leg-side and Amir shortened his length, almost cramped his for room as well, but Guptill adjusted and cracked it square on the off-side, none of the fielders moved
2.1 -
Amir to Guptill, FOUR, premeditation from Guptill. He knows Amir is looking for swing and will pitch the ball up, he makes room to get the leverage and tonks it over mid-on, one bounce and over the rope
1.5 -
Irfan to Williamson, FOUR, class! Just exquisite from KW. If it is power at the other end, Williamson is all touch. Shortish and just a hint of width, Williamson rides the bounce and cuts it square on the off-side, bisects backward point and cover-point to perfection
19.1 -
Amir to Ross Taylor, SIX, a Rosco special that. Thought for a second it went straight to long-on. But the fielder could only watch the ball sail over him. Fullish and around off, Taylor clears his front leg and swings it flat
17.4 -
Irfan to Ronchi, SIX, fantastic hit! That just looked like a chip and it travelled the distance. Shimmies down and converts it into a fuller length delivery, lofts it over mid-off, went flat and over the rope
5.4 -
Sami to Guptill, SIX, fabulous shot! The 50-run stand comes up. How good a shot that is? Guptill moved away and Sami followed, Guptill had an iota of room to work with and that is enough, he slams it back over Williamson, connected well to collect six
5.0 -
Imad Wasim to Guptill, SIX, that's gone many a miles. Excellent use of the feet. Dances down the wicket, gets to the pitch of the flighted delivery and lofts it beautifully over long-on. That's a superb shot against the turn
1.2 -
Irfan to Guptill, SIX, that kissed the night sky before coming down. Guptill moves away to the leg-side to free his arms, bends his front leg to get underneath the ball and smacks it straight back over the bowler's head, had plenty of air time
19.0 -
Sami to Ronchi, out Caught by Shoaib Malik!! That's a superb catch. The ball was travelling at the rate of knots and Malik nonchalantly snaffles it up. A full toss outside off, Ronchi walks away to the leg-side, has to reach out to connect, does so and smashes it to backward point, Malik made a slight jump to his right to hold onto it. Excellent over from Sami, just the 4 runs. Ronchi c Shoaib Malik b Sami 11(7) [6s-1]
15.2 -
Afridi to Corey Anderson, out Caught by Shoaib Malik!! Another one bites the dust. The match keeps swinging. New Zealand build a partnership and Pakistan respond with couple of wickets. Another set batsman has to depart. Anderson had to go for it and all he could manage was a toe-end loft to long-off. Malik didn't have much to take that. Afridi has the most wickets in T20 WCs. Corey Anderson c Shoaib Malik b Afridi 21(14) [4s-3]
14.3 -
Sami to Guptill, out Bowled!! Got 'im. A top knock has come to an end. For the third time in the tournament, Sami has got a batsman dragging onto the stumps. Dhawan and Raina were the other two. It was very similar to the Dhawan wicket. Short of a length and on the stumps, Guptill didn't have the width to manoeuvre the ball to third man, runs it off the face of the bat onto leg-stump. He is disappointed with himself and practices the shot on the way back to the dressing room. Guptill b Sami 80(48) [4s-10 6s-3]
8.5 -
Afridi to Munro, out Caught by Sharjeel Khan!! Needless. Unnecessary. Poor. Add any other adjective that comes to mind. He has just arrived to the crease and decides to play the switch-hit. Connects well, but the long square boundaries in Mohali brings about his downfall. Sharjeel takes a few steps forward from sweeper cover and takes it comfortably. Pakistan pulling things back. Munro c K Latif b Afridi 7(6) [4s-1]
7.2 -
Irfan to Williamson, out Caught by Afridi!! There's the first wicket. The umpire checks for the no-ball, Irfan has enough behind the line, Williamson continues his march back. The slower delivery does the trick for Irfan, rolled his fingers across the ball and kept it on driveable length, Williamson went hard and didn't bother to keep it down, hits it to the left of cover, Afridi moves across and gobbles it up. Williamson c Afridi b Irfan 17(21) [4s-1]
