"It was a good surface"- New Zealand stand-in captain Tim Southee after win vs Pakistan in 2nd T20I

At the post-match presentation, New Zealand's stand-in skipper Tim Southee credited the top-order for setting up the game for the hosts with a great platform. Reflecting on the win, Southee said:

"It was a good surface, the way Finn Allen and the guys at the top set it up was pretty nice. Pakistan put up a fight nicely and the two innings were quite similar in a way. Milne was outstanding, Sears is a young guy and is showing a lot of character at this level.

He added:

"Sodhi shouldn't be over looked, he bowled well after going for 20 in his first over. He is fielding pretty well as well. At Eden Park, wickets kept flowing in both innings. The guys at the top did really well for us with the bat."

University Oval in Dunedin will host the 3rd T20I on Wednesday (January 17). It is a must-win game for Shaheen Afridi's team to stay alive in the series.
