NZ vs Pak: Hasan Nawaz has smashed a brilliant century against New Zealand in the 3rd T20I on Friday to help them gun down a mammoth 205 in merely 16 overs.
Nawaz hit an unbeaten 105* off 45 balls to take the Men in Green over the line and end their losing streak. Nawaz's mind-boggling knock was laced with seven sixes and 10 fours.
It certainly was an innings to remember at Eden Park in Auckland. As expected Nawaz picked up the player of the match as Pakistan won the game by nine wickets to stay afloat in the five-match T20I series.
The series now stands at 2-1 after the Pakistan win. The hosts still hold onto the lead with two games to go. Here are some of the reactions from fans who think it is end of the day for the two senior cricketers from Pakistan.
"I was disheartened with the way I got out in the first two games but the captain and the management backed me, backed me to play my natural game. The only thing on my mind was to get a single first and I relaxed after getting that first run in international cricket,” Nawaz said at the post-match presentation.
With renewed confidence, Pakistan would now be a confident side in the next two T20I games. Fans would be expecting for a mouthwatering last two games. The fourth T20I would be played on March 23.
