Rizwan and Babar take down his New Zealand quick Trent Boult could have had Babar in the first over when the batsman nodded the first ball. But diving Devon Conway just happened to get his hands on the glove's webbing and didn't stick.
In Boult's next over, the Pakistan opener put the innings into overdrive and remained so for the duration of the stand. Babar dragged vault and slammed vault offside before Rizwan had a good look at it and the pair took his 15 in it. From Tim Southey's second over, they again took his 15, with Rizwan hitting mid-wicket his twice and Babar cracking his back square leg.
Spinner gave New Zealand some control, but the pair negotiated adeptly at this stage, rarely failing to find the line on bad balls. Only 6.37.
Williamson and Mitchell give a sliver of hope
If there ever was a period when New Zealand could claim to be top, it was probably between their 11th and 14th innings. They were 59-3 at halftime and needed to move on. Mitchell hit two fours out of the 11th inning bowled by Shadav Khan. In the 13th over, Williamson hit the first six innings, throwing Mohammad Wasim with a deep square leg before Mitchell threw Shadav to the screen in the 14th. In total, in those four overs he scored 40 runs. After that period they again failed to achieve that score.
Harris calms Pakistan's nerves
After Babar and Rizwan were separated there was a slowdown and Rizwan beat Pakistan at 21 when Rizwan was eliminated at the end of his 17th he scored 18 balls I got a little worried about getting the . However, Mohammad Harris next put Pakistan back on a smooth road to victory. Backing up, he hit Rocky Ferguson-Yorker wide off center for a 4, sat down and hooked into the next ball's stand.
