New Zealand all out for 99 against Pakistan

New Zealand were all out for 99 in their Twenty20 World Cup Group F Super Eights match against Pakistan at the Oval, London, on Saturday.

Score: New Zealand 99 in 18.3 overs v Pakistan (Umar Gul 5-6)

New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori won the toss and elected to bat in the World Twenty20 Super Eights Group F match against Pakistan at the Oval here on Saturday.

Pakistan, who lost their first Super Eights match to Sri Lanka on Friday, need a win to keep their semi-final hopes alive.

New Zealand thrashed Ireland by 83 runs at Trent Bridge on Thursday and will virtually book a place in the last four if they beat Pakistan.

Left-arm spinner Vettori was playing his first match of the tournament following a shoulder injury but batsman Ross Taylor again missed out with a hamstring strain.

Pakistan omitted opener Salman Butt to play 19-year-old rookie Shahzaib Hasan.
