Haris Rauf celebrates Martin Guptill’s wicket© AFP
New Zealand are four wickets down against Pakistan in the Super 12 stage of the ongoing T20 World Cup at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium here on Tuesday. Haris Rauf removed Martin Guptill before Imad Wasim got the better of Daryl Mitchell, who was looking sharp during the early exchanges. Mohammad Hafeez then gave Jimmy Neesham his marching orders. Earlier, Pakistan had won the toss and elected to bowl first in Sharjah. Babar Azam and Co. are oozing with confidence, following their convincing 10-wicket win over arch-rivals India on Sunday, and will hope to continue their winning start to the tournament against the Kane Williamson-led side. The Blackcaps, on the other hand, will aim to start their Super 12 campaign on a high, having lost both of their warm-up games against Australia and England, respectively. (LIVE SCORECARD)
