Not the Black Caps’ night

Black Cap Mark Chapman hits the ball to the boundary on his way to scoring 94 against Pakistan in their T20 international at Eden Park in Auckland last night. New Zealand made 204, a healthy total in most circumstances, but it wasn’t to be their night as Pakistan set about their run chase in spectacular fashion. Leading the way was Hassan Nawaz with a magnificent unbeaten knock of 105, scored off just 45 balls. Also in the runs was Salman Ali Agha, who finished on 51 not out as Pakistan reached 207 for one in just 16 overs for a nine-wicket win.
