Brilliant hitting from captain Salman Agha and Shaheen Afridi gave Pakistan a fighting total of 135/9 in 15 overs (DLS method) in the second T20I of the five-match series against New Zealand at University Oval. Despite a valiant 46-run knock from Agha, Pakistan's batting woes continued as they struggled against a potent Kiwi bowling attack.

The match, which was reduced to 15 overs per side due to heavy rain, saw New Zealand captain Michael Bracewell win the toss and choose to bowl first. The decision proved to be a masterstroke as Pakistan found themselves on the back foot early, losing wickets regularly throughout their innings. 

New Zealand's Dominate Performance vs Pakistan

The New Zealand bowlers were on top throughout the innings, with Ish Sodhi, Jacob Duffy, Ben Sears, and James Neesham all claiming two wickets each. Their disciplined bowling ensured that Pakistan could not build partnerships, as they were constantly under pressure.

While Pakistan faces an uphill battle in the series, the five-match format still offers them a chance to regroup and attempt to shift the momentum in their favour. However, with New Zealand in such dominant form, Pakistan will need to find a way to counter the Kiwis' bowling attack if they hope to get back into the series.

After distarious performance in the second T20I as well, fans took to social media and expressed their frustration. In this article, let's take a look at the few Twitter reactions.
