Just finished flicking through the replay of that match, ripper of a game tbh. For all we complain about JAM there was a great atmosphere in the ground and both teams were right in this one.
It's not even the worst thing that NZ's batting lineup here leans towards long-format cricketers, as Pakistan's bowling is seriously good and T20-only hacks just get blown away. (We're unlikely to chase a big score though, as in the first two matches). Good KWing from Latham here.
How did we almost lose that? Looked like a comfortable win most of the way through Pakistan's innings. Iftikhar was amazing, modern T20 players still have a chance chasing 86(39) when in old ODIs you'd just give up at that point, and Milne's bowling of the 18th over was awful - those full tosses
. Yeah that's a messup to have Lister off the field and still not give the guy with 3 overs for 11 his final over though. Henry's penultimate over was very good - he's surprised with the way he's stepped up this series in a format he hasn't historically been any good at.

Pakistan's weaknesses really exposed in that one.
What happened to Lister? The only mention I can see in the comms is that he bowled and then at the very end it said Neesham took over as Lister was injured.
Glad we got the W, but gee there was some average bowling at the end.
I'm not convinced our tactic of scoring 30-40 in the powerplay is useful at all in T20, I guess it's hard with Bowes failing and Latham playing the KW style T20 anchor, but you really miss the Finn Allen and Devon Conway opening partnership at this point.

Hurt his ankle slipping in the outfield, apparently.

The new ball has done a bit in these 3 games and you need skill to hit the Pakistani pacemen off their lengths. Maybe Mitchell and/or Ravindra should move up.
But NZ should really get Chapman into the ODI squad now, he’s the one player to have hit the ground running and be properly switched on in all games so far.
