Umar Gul became the first man to take five wickets in a Twenty20 international as Pakistan thrashed New Zealand in the Super Eights. Right-arm seamer Gul returned 5-6 to help bowl the Kiwis out for 99, the lowest total of the tournament so far. Previously nobody has taken 5 wickets in this format. The best has been only 4 wickets though 5 wickets is the norm in onedays and tests.

Shahzaib Hasan marked his international debut with 35 off 28 balls before Pakistan, who had fallen to 71-4, posted 100-4 in 13.1 overs at The Oval. Their six-wicket victory puts them in the hunt for a semi-final place.
