He hits 5 fours and 16 sixes in this inning. Haris Rauf took 2 wickets but he remains bit expensive. With outstanding batting performance kiwis set a big total of 224 runs on the board. In the chase down of the total Pakistani batter not proves impactful and this target proved to be too much for Pakistan. Babar played well and scored his 3rd fifty of the series so far. He looks in good touch.
Tim Southee show his experience and took two wickets with an excellent economy rate. Pakistan only manage to score 179/7 in 20 overs. For his superb century top order batter Finn Allen named as the player of the match award. Pakistan has now lost the series, with the loss of 3rd t20 match.
