New Zealand Crush Pakistan By Nine Wickets Seifert's explosive innings and dominant bowling clinch T20 series opener for New Zealand. New Zealand dispatched Pakistan with ease, clinching victory by nine wickets during the first T20I at Hagley Oval, Christchurch, on March 16, 2025. Duffy wasted no time either, sending Hasan Nawaz back without scoring as well, leaving Pakistan reeling at 0 for 2. Eventually, Pakistan's batting lineup crumbled under pressure, resulting in their lowest T20 score on New Zealand soil, besting their previous record of 101 runs, set back in 2016. New Zealand’s bowlers, especially Jamieson and Duffy, set high expectations with their performance, making it clear they will be formidable foes going forward.
