New Zealand lose by 13 runs to Pakistan in Pallekele, however the Black Caps progress to the Super Eights stage at the ICC World Twenty20 Cup courtesy of their high run rate.

New Zealand have progressed to the Super Eights stage at the ICC World Twenty20 Cup despite suffering a 13-run defeat to Pakistan in Pallekele.

Left-handed batsman Nasir Jamshed hit a maiden half-century to help Pakistan post 177-6.

Although the Black Caps could only make 164-9 in reply, they still qualify for the next stage courtesy of their previous big win over Bangladesh.

Pakistan are likely to join New Zealand in the last eight, however a heavy defeat to Bangladesh in their final group game could see them eliminated.
