Pakistan defeated New Zealand by 6 wickets in a tri-series T20I match between the sides at Hagley Oval, Christchurch on Saturday.
Batting first, Kane Williamson-led New Zealand posted 147 for 8 in 20 overs before Babar Azam's 79 not out helped Pakistan reach home with 10 balls to spare.
While Babar shone in the second innings of the game for Pakistan, it was the side's ace pacer Haris Rauf, who hogged the limelight in the first innings with figures of 3 or 28 in 4 overs.
All the three wickets of Rauf came in his last over, which was the 19th over of the New Zealand innings. New Zealand, who were 137 for 4 at the start of the 19th over, were looking to accelerate in the slog overs but Rauf's three wickets put a dent on their scoring rate as they could eventually score only 10 runs off the remaining 12 balls.
