T20I: Pakistan win toss, opt to bat against Kiwis

Pakistan have won the toss and elected to bat first against New Zealand in a do or die match of the series being played at Eden Park, Auckland today.

High-flying New Zealand will look to seal the three-match T20 series, whereas Pakistan need a win to avoid another series loss after suffering a 5-0 clean sweep in the One Day International series earlier this month.

The host beat Pakistan by seven wickets in the first T20 in Wellington, as the visitors' batting woes persisted.

The Green Shirts could only manage a total of 105, with only Babar Azam and Hasan Ali reaching double figures. New Zealand chased down the target with seven wickets in hand, driven by a power batting show by Colin Munro (49*).
