That's it from our side. Meanwhile, you can switch tabs and follow our live coverage of the SA20 final. MICT have posted 181 on the board and it promises to be an exciting run-chase. Until next time, goodbye and cheers!

Mitchell Santner: Glenn's brilliant knock and his partnership with Bracewell gave us the much-needed momentum. We were looking at something around 280-300 at one point. The Pakistani bowlers bowled really well and it needed a special knock from Glenn to take us to 330. There was a bit of assistance for the spinners and that was nice. The big wicket of Fakhar helped us to keep chipping away in the middle overs. It looked tough in the powerplay. I guess it's never easy when Babar and Fakhar are batting together. We were able to put in the squeeze in the middle overs. The conditions in Karachi are a little different and we know how good Pakistan are. (On Bracewell's catch) He has got very big hands and he made it look simple.

Mohammad Rizwan: When we lose, it looks difficult only. When we were bowling, the wicket looked a bit difficult. The way Phillips batted was outstanding. When we focus on what we improve on, we need to work on our fielding. If we play an all-rounder, we can't expect him to bowl ten overs, he can give us 5-6 overs. (On Haris Rauf's injury) There's no confirmation yet but it's not a serious injury. As a batting unit, we need to analyse the situation and bat. We need to stitch good partnerships when wickets are falling.

Glenn Phillips | Player of the Match: We had a tough little middle period, Pakistani bowlers bowled well. The way Bracewell came in and kicked on was great and I tried to continue the momentum and followed his lead. I love my bowling. That was pretty special, obviously my first hundred and that felt great. We talk about giving our best and to me be able to add as much energy as I can to the team matters.

22:11 Local Time, 17:11 GMT, 22:41 IST: A clinical display from the Kiwis to register a comprehensive win in the tri-series opener. Fifties from Williamson and Mitchell helped New Zealand's cause but the real impact came from Phillips. He was in a different zone today and smashed the Pakistani bowlers to all parts of the ground. The hard-hitting middle-order batter scored a scintillating century to take his side to an above par total on a slightly sluggish surface. The hosts conceded 84 runs off the last 5 overs and that's where they lost the game. The fact that Haris Rauf suffered a side strain and couldn't bowl in the death overs took a toll on Pakistan. In reply, Babar Azam fell cheaply but Fakhar Zaman was going great guns. The southpaw found his range and played some eye-catchy stroke to raise a fifty. Ghulam struggled for rhythm and his dismissal led Pakistan to lose another couple of wickets in quick succession. Zaman's dismissal faded away Pakistan's hopes. Agha and Tahir tried to stabilise things with a 50-run stand but the asking rate kept on rising and the hosts crumbled under pressure. Santner and Bracewell were brilliant as they got the ball to turn and grip and shared five wickets between them. Henry finished things off as he took a 3-fer. There's concern all around regarding Rachin's health. He was hit on the face while trying to take a catch. It looked bad but let's hope it's not serious. Stick around for the presentations...
