Pakistan vs New Zealand, 1st T20I at Lahore, PAK v NZ, Apr 14 2023 - Match Result

yes, he can! And he does it with an absolute corker! Length delivery that is angled into middle and off stump. On pitching, though, it nips away. Lister has no clue about it and misses the ball by a mile as it clatters into the stumps! Best T20I figures for Haris Rauf as well, and he, like the entire Pakistan bowling attack, have simply been too hot to handle tonight!

full delivery fired into the pads. Sodhi walks across and then plays all over it as the ball pings off his leg into the on side

tossed up on a full length outside off stump. Lister comes half forward and prods it into the off side

no hat-trick for Imad! Fired into middle and leg stump. Lister comes forward and pushes it down the ground

and he has nicked it through to Rizwan first ball! Length and darted into middle and leg stump. Henry comes down the track and seems to get a feather through to Rizwan, who takes it superbly. The umpire raises his finger but Henry reviews because, well, why not! A clear spike as the ball is close to the bat, and Imad, all of a sudden, is on a hat-trick!

taken comfortably at deep mid wicket! Slowed up just a shade on middle and leg stump. Milne's eyes light up and he looks to smear it over deep mid wicket. He is not to the pitch of the ball, though, and ends up toe-ending it towards deep mid wicket Iftikhar gets under it and does the rest!

full and at the stumps. Milne works it into the leg side and scampers back for a brace

very full delivery just outside off stump. Sodhi hangs back and prods it towards backward point

cleans him up! Pace is pace, yaar! Full, straight, you-miss-I-hit stuff from Rauf! This one is angled into middle and off stump. Ravindra swings for the hills but loses his shape completely. He is also awfully late on the stroke as the ball thunders into the stumps!

back of a length delivery on off stump. Milne goes back and runs it down to third man to get off the mark

searing yorker just outside off stump. Milne is late on the stroke and can't get his bat down in time. Luckily for him, it just sneaks past off stump!

straight to backward point! Rauf has his revenge! Very full delivery outside off stump. Neesham opens his bat face, uses the pace and gets a decent piece of it. The only problem, though, is that he has laced it straight to Masood at backward point! But hang on...the umpires think this might be a bump ball, and go upstairs. The soft signal is out, though! That came to Neesham on the full, and left his bat on the full, nestling into backward point's palms eventually!

shot! Slower delivery that lands right in the slot outside off stump. Neesham picks it early, swings through the line and deposits it over long on!

back of a length delivery outside off stump. Neesham stands tall and tugs it towards deep mid wicket for one

back of a length delivery just outside off stump that does not get up at all. Neesham has a hack at it and is bewildered as the ball goes well underneath his flailing blade
