Shaheen snapped up Tom Latham (four) and Tom Blundell (five) to reduce the host to 13/2 inside the first 45 minutes. Mohammad Rizwan celebrated his elevation to the Pakistan Test captaincy in style Tuesday, smashing a career-best 89 to stop New Zealand claiming a series sweep in the third Twenty20 in Napier.
