Earlier, it appeared that the home team had done enough to pull off a clean sweep as they stifled Pakistan’s batsmen with another disciplined bowling performance.
Spinner Ish Sodhi along with fast bowlers Tim Southee, Matt Henry and Lockie Ferguson all took two wickets each.
Southee (2-19), the highest wicket-taker in T20 cricket, dismissed debutant Hasibullah Khan in the opening over and the dangerous Fakhar Zaman, who had scored 33 runs in 16 balls, in the 13th over.
Top scorer Mohammad Rizwan was out soon after for 38 off 38, ultimately giving Pakistan the lowest score in the first innings by any team in the series.
