In Pakistan's innings, chasing the target, they were bowled out for 173. Babar Azam (66) and Fakhar Zaman (50) provided a solid start with a partnership of 87 runs. However, the middle-order failed to capitalize on their efforts. Shaheen Afridi's 22-run contribution was not enough to secure a victory. Adam Milne took four wickets for New Zealand, and Bean Sears turned the game by dismissing Babar Azam.

With this result, Pakistan is now trailing 0-2 in the five-match series against New Zealand.
