Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan has broken the record for the highest score by a wicketkeeper in a successful run-chase in a T20I match.

Rizwan achieved this feat after he scored 89 from 59 balls in the final T20I against New Zealand in Napier, which Pakistan won by 4 wickets, avoiding a clean sweep in the three-match series against the Kiwis.

This is the second time this record has been broken in this series.

During the second T20I match, Tim Seifert scored 84 runs and broke the 9-year old record of Brendon McCullum who had scored 81 against Zimbabwe in 2011.
