Chapman 104*, Neesham 45* off 25 stun Pakistan to make it 2-2
A breathtaking display of magnificently clean hitting against some of the best bowlers in T20 cricket saw the 28-year-old Mark Chapman score an unbeaten 57-ball 104, chasing down 194 to mount a comeback to stun Pakistan.
It is the second-highest total ever chased against Pakistan in T20s, and also means New Zealand finish the series level despite trailing 2-0 after two games. It is also New Zealand’s 100th T20I win, one that will take pride of place in New Zealand T20 folklore.
Brief scores:
New Zealand 194 for 4 (Chapman 104*, Neesham 45*, Imad 2-21) beat Pakistan 193 for 5 (Rizwan 98*, Tickner 3-33) by six wickets
