New Zealand won’t be too worried after they have crossed the 150 mark on this not-so-easy wicket to bat at the SCG. Daryl Mitchell was the sheet anchor of the innings as he made sure that the run of play did not slow down too much. He has scored 53 off 35 balls, and along with skipper Williamson put in a much-needed partnership of 68 runs. Then again, he added 35 with Jimmy Neesham off just 22 balls to get to 152 eventually.
For Pakistan, Shaheen Afridi picked 2/24 while Muhammad Nawaz picked 1/12 as he could only bowl two overs of his four over quota.
