Pakistan performed exceptionally well, scoring 137/6 in their 20 overs and effectively limited the hosts, securing a series-winning victory. This marks Pakistan’s first-ever T20I series win against the White Ferns and their first series triumph away from home since October 2018. Noteworthy contributions with the bat came from Muneeba Ali (35), Aliya Riaz (32*), and former captain Bismah Maroof (21). The bowlers, led by Sadia Iqbal (3/22), played a crucial role in restricting New Zealand to 9/2 early on. Fatima Sana stood out as the top-performing bowler for Pakistan, securing 3 wickets for 22 runs, while Hannah Rowe scored 33 for the home side. The third and final game of the series is scheduled for Saturday in Queenstown.
