“We were chasing a par total and a couple of wickets would have made it more difficult for us. Seifert was banging it around and took the pressure off. We know the quality of their attack and it’s never certain over. They pulled it back and made the game a lot tighter,” Kane Williamson said.

Man of the Match Tim Southee dismissed four batsmen in his four-over spell, giving away only 21 runs. Southee said the opponents would not be satisfied with their performances.

“The ball was swinging a bit, nice to get the job done tonight. Could hold the shape, put in the right areas and ask questions. They’re a quality side, would be disappointed over the results – but we know they will come hard at us,” stated Southee.

The final T20I between the Pakistan cricket team and New Zealand will take place on Tuesday at McLean Park.
