But another blistering knock by Guptill with support from Franklin saw them reach 90 for 1 after 11 overs with a COW of 61%. Wickets tumbled as New Zealand looked to accelerate but Styris, Taylor and McGlashan tore apart Pakistan’s bowling to end with 185/7 with COW of 70%. After a brisk start Pakistan lost Afridi early but were at a steady 60/1 after 7 overs with COW of 33% before 3 quick wickets saw them slip to 76/4 after 10 with COW of 26%.
