New Zealand\u2019s Tim Seifert lit up the 2nd T20I against Pakistan with a blistering assault on Shaheen Afridi, smashing four sixes in a single over to put his team in command during a rain-affected game at University Oval, Dunedin.<\/p>\n

Chasing 136 in a reduced 15-over game, New Zealand raced to 61\/0 in just 4.2 overs, with Seifert leading the charge. Facing Shaheen in the third over, Seifert unleashed a ruthless attack, dispatching the left-arm pacer for 6,6,0,2,6,6<\/strong>, scoring 26 runs off the over.<\/p>\n

Shaheen Afridi\u2019s Over Under Siege<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • 2.1:<\/strong> SIX! Seifert clears his front foot and smashes a full delivery straight down the ground.<\/li>\n
  • 2.2:<\/strong> SIX! Wide outside off, Seifert slaps it over cover for another maximum.<\/li>\n
  • 2.3:<\/strong> No run. A rare dot ball as Seifert stabs a short delivery into the pitch.<\/li>\n
  • 2.4:<\/strong> Two runs. Seifert squeezes a fuller ball to deep cover for a brace.<\/li>\n
  • 2.5:<\/strong> SIX! Length delivery, Seifert stays behind and hammers it over mid-wicket.<\/li>\n
  • 2.6:<\/strong> SIX! Short ball, deposited over deep square leg to end the over in style.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Shaheen, who had bowled a maiden earlier, suddenly found himself conceding 26 runs in an over as New Zealand surged ahead in the chase.<\/p>\n

    Match Situation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Pakistan, batting first, posted 135\/9 in 15 overs<\/strong>, with the match being shortened due to rain. In response, New Zealand came out all guns blazing, with Seifert racing to 41 off just 19 balls<\/strong> at a strike rate of 215.79, while Finn Allen supported him with 19 off 7.<\/p>\n

    With the required rate now under control, New Zealand is well on course to secure victory in the second T20I.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
