DUNEDIN, New Zealand (AP) — New Zealand won the toss and was eager to bowl first on a pitch at the University Oval which had been covered and looked fresh with patches of grass.
Jacob Duffy, who took 4-14 in the series-opener which New Zealand won by nine wickets on Sunday, removed Hasan Nawaz with the fourth ball of the match.
The New Zealand bowlers were too full at first and Pakistan reached 19-1 before Ben Sears came on in the fourth over and dismissed Mohammad Haris with his first delivery.
Sears, who missed the Champions Trophy with injury, used bounce effectively and Haris sliced his first delivery to Duffy at third man.
Pakistan was 36-2 after the five-over power play.
Salman took 12 runs including a 75-meter (yard) six from the sixth over bowled by Jimmy Neesham, lifting Pakistan to 48-2.
But spinner Ish Sodhi dismissed Irfan Khan (11) and Khushdil Shah (2) with the fourth and sixth balls of the seventh over as Pakistan slipped to 52-4.
Salman stepped up the pace, taking 10 from the eighth over bowled by Sears and 13 from the ninth bowled by Sodhi which lifted Pakistan to 76-4. But he fell in the next over, caught by Mark Chapman at deep mid-wicket off Sears.
Shadab (26) took up the attack, hitting Sears for six in the 10th over while 14 came from the 11th over bowled by Bracewell. He hit a six and a four from Duffy in the 12th before holing out to cow corner.
Shaheen Shah Afridi made 22 from 14 balls as Pakistan added 25 runs from the last three overs.
“It was a better game than last game,” Agha said. “We batted better but we still need to be better finishers.”
