Pakistan thrash New Zealand by 5 wickets
A late blitz by Asif Ali and stellar bowling by Haris Rauf steered Pakistan to a five-wicket victory over New Zealand at Sharjah.
It was a special moment for Pakistan, who were able to bounce back in the game after losing a flurry of wickets to the New Zealand spinners at one point in time.
Babar Azam and Hafeez failed to impress while Imad Wasim and Rizwan were unable to see the team through.
Asif Ali and Shoaib Malik, both experienced players, saw the team through to the finish, helping Pakistan to its second victory in the tournament.
