Turning Point: Fakhar’s LBW dismissal at 119/4 extinguished Pakistan’s hopes, with the required rate soaring to 9+ .
Phillips’ innings was a masterclass in pacing. He scored just 29 off his first 43 balls before exploding in the death overs. His reverse scoops, slog sweeps, and straight drives left Pakistan’s bowlers clueless .
Santner’s 3/41 included the wickets of Kamran Ghulam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Khushdil Shah. His economy rate of 4.10 on a flat pitch highlighted his control .
Despite Afridi’s early strikes, Pakistan conceded 98 runs in the final six overs. Naseem Shah (0/70) and part-timer Khushdil Shah (0/66) struggled to contain Phillips.
A: Glenn Phillips for his match-winning 106* and the crucial wicket of Fakhar Zaman.
A: Over-reliance on Fakhar Zaman and poor shot selection against spin led to a collapse from 119/4 to 205/7 .
A: Phillips’ 25-run final over against Afridi shifted momentum decisively, adding 25% of NZ’s total in just six balls .
A: Full highlights are available on ESPNcricinfo and YouTube (links in sources).
