New Zealand continued their dominant run in the T20I series against Pakistan, sealing a comfortable 5-wicket win in the second match at University Oval to take a 2-0 lead in the five-game series.

In a rain-shortened 15-overs-a-side contest, Pakistan, after being put into bat, managed to post 135/9, courtesy of a 28-ball 46 from captain Salman Ali Agha, including four boundaries and three sixes. Shadab Khan (26) and Shaheen Shah Afridi (22 not out) were the other significant run-getters for the touring side. For the hosts, Ben Sears, Ish Sodhi, Jacob Duffy and James Neesham bagged two wickets apiece.
