Pakistan vs New Zealand 2nd T20 Live Streaming
McCullum's decision to field was prompted to a degree by Australia's capitulation for 108 at the same venue in May, but it proved a costly one as Pakistan raced to 160 thanks largely to the opener Imran Nazir's 38-ball 58. "We looked at the stats and looked at the pitch and thought it might offer some assistance to the bowlers," McCullum said. "I thought it did that - we just didn't execute as well as what we should've with our fourth and fifth bowler. I think 140 was probably a par score."Imran Nazir scored a quickfire 58 as Pakistan posted 161 in the first Twenty20 International against New Zealand in Dubai
New Zealand had only 11 players to choose from for the Twenty20 internationals, as Kyle Mills is recovering from an injured shoulder, and James Franklin nursing an injured back. Allrounder Jacob Oram, too, is missing, for he had to return to New Zealand for the birth of his first child. During the first Twenty20, Aaron Redmond picked up a groin strain while bowling, forcing New Zealand to use a half-fit Franklin as a substitute.
