New Zealand have made an explosive start in the third T20I against Pakistan. At the end of the powerplay, the hosts are 58/2. Both openers, Tim Seifert and Finn Allen, have been dismissed early, but Mark Chapman is leading the charge for New Zealand with an aggressive knock.
Earlier, Pakistan skipper Agha Salman won the toss and chose to bowl first. Shaheen Shah Afridi struck in the opening over, dismissing Finn Allen and reducing New Zealand to 3/1. Afridi started the innings with a maiden over, but Seifert and Allen counterattacked soon after, smashing seven sixes in the next 12 deliveries. This early blitz helped New Zealand take control of the match and eventually secure a 2-0 lead in the series with 11 balls to spare.
