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.

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.

Pakistan are now level on points with New Zealand and Sri Lanka at the top of Group F and, depending on other results, they could seal a last-four spot if they beat Ireland at The Oval on Monday.
