Notably, this is CSK?s second setback of the season. Earlier ace pacer Deepak Chahar was ruled out of the Tata IPL 2022 after suffering a back injury while he was undergoing a rehabilitation program for his quadriceps tear at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) Bangalore.&nbsp;



Following Milne?s exit, CSK?s death bowling looks scanty and extremely vulnerable. In fact, CSK has been leaking a lot of runs during the death overs, which has been a concern for them.



The likes of Mukesh Choudhary, Chris Jordan, Tushar Deshpande, Dwayne Bravo and Dwaine Pretorius have been unable to perform efficiently during the slog overs.



Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are all set to face arch-rivals Mumbai Indians (MI) in tonight?s match in the DY Patil Sports Academy ground. Both the big franchises haven?t been able to unleash their best in the tournament.



CSK is placed in the penultimate position in the points table with just a single win, while the five-time champions, Mumbai Indians couldn?t even open their account and have lost six straight matches in the tournament. MI is placed at the bottom of the points table.

New Zealand Cricket Announces Central Contracts For The 2023-24 Season

new-zealand-cricket-announces-central-contracts-for-the-2023-24-season

PAK vs NZ: A brilliant knock of 74 runs in 41 balls from Finn Allen, followed by an outstanding four-wicket haul from Adam Milne, allowed the Kiwi?s to win the second T20 International on Sunday in Hamilton against Pakistan. The Black Caps now have a 2-0 lead in the five-match T20i series against the Men in Green



Despite brilliant half centuries from Babar Azam (66 runs in 43 balls) and Fakhar Zaman (50 runs in 25 balls), Pakistan failed in their pursuit of a target of 195 runs set by the Black Caps, and eventually the Men in Green were bundled out for 173 runs in the final over of the second innings.



However, the victory in the second T20 International came with a setback for the Kiwi?s as skipper Kane Williamson got retired due to a hamstring injury he suffered while batting in the 1st innings, thereby raising concerns regarding the skipper?s availability in the remaining three matches for New Zealand in the five-match T20i series against Pakistan.



The 2nd T20i followed in the footsteps of New Zealand's previous 46-run victory in the 1st T20i in Auckland on Friday, demonstrating their bowling attack's ability to regularly take wickets and prevent Pakistan from getting an upper hand in the run chase. At one point, the target looked achievable for the Men in Green thanks to the partnership of 87 runs for the 3rd wicket between Fakhar Zaman and former Pakistani skipper Babar Azam. But Adam Milne got the breakthrough as he managed to clean bowl Zaman (50 in 23 balls), which left the Men in Green at 97-3 in 10 overs.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/BLACKCAPS/status/1746452865575531005
</div></figure>



After the dismissal of Fakhar, the Men in Green struggled, as no other batsman other than Babar Azam looked like a threat before he was dismissed by Ben Sears for 66 runs. Once Babar got dismissed, the batting unit of Pakistan was not able to do anything and was bundled out for 173 runs.



Adam Milne was the best bowler of the Kiwis, as he finished the game with figures of 4-33, while Tim Southee (2-31), Ben Sears (2-28), and Ish Sodhi (2-33) finished with 2-2 wickets each. All-rounder Mitchell Santner was the most expensive bowler of the night, as he ended the game without taking a single wicket and gave away 47 runs.



The Kiwi?s were once again asked to bat by Shaheen Afridi, and Kiwi opener Finn Allen dominated the Pakistani bowling as his knock of 74 runs included five sixes at an outstanding strike rate of 180.48. At the halfway point, the Black Caps were at 111-1 before skipper Kane Williamson suffered a hamstring injury and got retired for 26 runs. The Black Caps will be concerned regarding the fitness of the 33-year-old as he was injured for the majority of 2023, and he even missed the home ODI and T20i series against Bangladesh in December last year.



Opener Finn Allen carried on with his aggressive hitting before leggie Usama Mir cleaned him up with a beauty of a delivery. The remaining Kiwi batters couldn?t do much against Haris Rauf (3-38) and Abbas Afridi (2-43), but Mitchell Santner applied the finishing touch with his cameo of 25 runs from 13 balls.

PAK vs NZ, Finn Allen and Adam Milne shine as New Zealand defeat Pakistan in the 2nd T20I and take a 2-0 lead in the series

pak-vs-nz-finn-allen-and-adam-milne-shine-as-new-zealand-defeat-pakistan-in-the-2nd-t20i-and-take-a-2-0-lead-in-the-series

PAK vs NZ T20I: A couple of injuries have posed as a big challenge for the Kiwis ahead of their T20I tour of Pakistan, in the coming week. Fine batter Fin Allen and veteran pacer Adam Milne have been ruled out of the Pakistan vs New Zealand T20Is owing to the injuries. The development was confirmed by the New Zealand Cricket (NZC) Board on Friday, April 12. 



New Zealand have subsequently roped in Wicketkeeper Tom Blundell and uncapped all-rounder Zak Foulkes to the squad for the Pakistan tour, which starts on April 18 in Rawalpindi. 



While Foulkes has earned a maiden call-up to the shortest format side, Tom Blundell hasn't tasted anything in the format for more than two years now.



Adam Milne, reportedly, injured his ankle during one of the training sessions, while Finn Allen suffered a back injury, just ahead of their departure to Pakistan for the five-match T20I series.



"The nature of their respective injuries meant they wouldn't be able to take part in any of the five-match series, due to start next week in Rawalpindi," NZC said in a statement. "Plans for their return to cricket will be confirmed in the coming weeks."

It's worth noting that New Zealand's second-string squad has been picked for the PAK vs NZ T20Is due to their top players' commitments in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. The likes of Kane Williamson, Trent Boult, Daryl Mitchell and Rachin Ravindra among others are a part of the IPL 2024 proceedings.



Talking about the presence of Tom Blundell in the series against Pakistan, New Zealand coach Gary Stead said, "Tom is a highly experienced player and along with his wicketkeeping and batting skillsets is a leader in any group he is a part of. He also brings recent experience in the conditions, having taken part in both tours to Pakistan last year."



Meanwhile, the selection of Zak Foulkes, for the PAK vs NZ T20I series, has been based on his recent performances in the domestic games.



"Zak has had an impressive season for Canterbury including being their leading wicket-taker in all the competitions. He has displayed impressive skills with the ball, particularly in T20 cricket for the Kings. We also know he has skills with the bat and it will be an excellent opportunity for him to be part of the group."



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PAK vs NZ T20I Schedule</h2>
