Pakistan’s new T20 skipper Shaheen Afridi chose to bowl against New Zealand in the series opener in Auckland on Friday, January 12. However, apart from the toss and a wicket in the first over, nothing went right for Shaheen and his side as New Zealand batters came out with aggressive intent and rode their luck along the way to post a massive score of 226 runs on the board. It was the highest total by a side against Pakistan in T20Is and the fifth highest for New Zealand in the shortest format.
