What's the story
New Zealand opener Finn Allen smoked a blazing half-century against Pakistan in the second T20I of the five-match series in Hamilton.

This was his second T20I fifty against Pakistan. Here are his stats.
Knock
Another fiery hand from Allen
Allen was solid from the start. Rauf and Shaheen looked utterly clueless against him as NZ completed 50 runs in 4.2 overs. Allen, meanwhile, reached his fifty off just 24 balls. He, however, could not touch the three-figure mark, having fallen prey to Usama Mir. Allen recorded half-century partnerships with Devon Conway and Kane Williamson as NZ finished at 194/8.
