Twitter reacts New Zealand as Pakistan suffered a serious blow to their chances of qualifying for the Semi-finals of World T20 as New Zealand defeated them by 22 runs at Mohali on Tuesday Night.
New Zealand, batting first, posted a challenging total of 180 for 5 wickets. Martin Guptill’s knock of 80 off 48 balls & Ross Taylor’s unbeaten innings of 36 off 23 balls laid the foundation of a fighting score for the Kiwis. In reply, Sharjeel Khan gave the perfect start for the ‘Men in Green’ as he blasted 47 off just 25 deliveries but the Kiwis made a brilliant comeback courtesy of the spin duo of Mitchell Santner & Ish Sodhi as New Zealand won their third consecutive game of the World T20. New Zealand are now the first team to qualify for the semi-final of World T20 2016.

Santner is the find of the World T 20 and Williamson the new cool king! New Zealand first team in semis! #NZvPAK

Don't agree with Afridi promoting himself & keeping men in form down the order to play lesser overs. Happened twice now. #WT20 #NZvPAK

Pakistan is just self-destructive. In cricket and in life in general.

A very professional win by @BLACKCAPS today over Pakistan. The West Indian's & New Zealander's are the 2 in form teams #WT20

What can be more criminal than that Pakistan did not hit any boundary in the last five overs. #PakvNZ

What a Start by Pakistan..
What a Start by Sharjeel..
8 Fours in his first 17 Balls..

Pakistan should chase this down. Pitch looks good and not much should change for the 2nd half of this game.#NZvPAK #shahbashpakistan
— Brian Lara (@BrianLara) March 22, 2016
Pakistan are the sort of dangerous side that can make analysts calling them a dangerous side look very foolish.

No boundaries for so long in a #T20WorldCup after a blazing start by @SharjeelLeo14 #PAKvNZ. Full tosses missed. Sad but chalo..

New Zealand: in a Golden (bearded) era…
