The day started with the visitors captain Faf du Plessis winning the toss and opting to bowl first.
The Green Caps produced another brilliant performance with the bat, courtesy Shahzad’s 89 off just 55 balls with the help eight fours and three sixes, as Pakistan posted more than competitive 183 for the loss of four wickets in their allotted 20 overs.
For World XI, Perera was the pick of the bowlers as he claimed two wickets and gave away 37 in his four overs.
In reply, the visiting team had a solid start but kept losing wickets at regular intervals and was eventually restricted to 150 for the loss of eight wickets in their 20 overs.
All-rounder Perera and South African David Miller finished with the top score of 32 each, whereas opener Hashim Amla scored 21 at the top of the innings.
For Pakistan, pacer Hasan Ali was the pick of the bowlers as he claimed two wickets and just gave away 28 runs in his four overs.
So that's it everyone. What a historic week for Pakistan it proved to be, and we kept you updated throughout. Hopefully you all had a good time. Till next time, it's goodbye from Azeem Siddiqui and Abdul Majid Awan. Ciao
