Pakistan bowl New Zealand out for 204

Mark Chapman smashed a brisk half-century as New Zealand set a 205-run target against Pakistan in third T20I being played in Auckland on Friday.

The left-hander stuck 11 boundaries and four maximums for his 44-ball 94. He was dismissed by Shaheen Shah Afridi, who ended up with the figures of 2 for 36 from his four overs.

Apart from Champan, skipper Michael Bracewell played a valuable knock of 31, while opener Tim Seifert and middle order batter Daryl Mitchell chipped in with 19 and 17 respectively.

They were bowled out for 204 in 19.5 overs.

Haris Rauf was the star of the show with the ball as he ended with the figures of three for 29 from his four over spell.

Pakistan need 205 runs to win in a must-win game. They are trailing the five-match series 2-0.
