W
Mitchell to Babar Azam, out Caught by Seifert!! Mitchell has removed the half-centurion and he has his arms aloft with a big smile on his face. Fifty and OUT! Azam is distraught. Very similar to the way he perished in the first ODI! Cross-seam short ball, Babar Azam goes after it with a pull shot. Doesn't bother to keep it down and holes out to deep midwicket. A straightforward catch for Seifert in the deep. Babar was looking in good touch, so this is a key wicket for NZ! Babar Azam c Seifert b Mitchell 50(58) [4s-4 6s-1]

F
Mitchell to Babar Azam, 1 run, 122.2kph, glanced in front of square on the leg-side. The single brings up Babar Azam's fifty! His 37th in ODIs. Can he convert it into a match-winning one?
