    The Black Caps are headed to Auckland with a 2-nil T20 series lead over Pakistan after a five-wicket win in their rain-shortened 15-over contest at Dunedin

    The Black Caps are headed to Auckland with a 2-nil T20 series lead over Pakistan after a five-wicket win in their rain-shortened 15-over contest at Dunedin


    New Zealand chased 136 with 11 balls to spare, highlighted by a 66-run opening stand between Finn Allen and Tim Seifert - they each hit five sixes.

    Allen says they were more aggressive than the visitors in the circumstances.



    The Black Caps can clinch the series with two games to spare when the sides meet at Eden Park on Friday.
