NZ vs PAK T20I Coin Toss Kid's Handwritten Thank You-Note Takes Internet By Storm

NZ vs PAK T20I: Will, a young fan, was the coin toss kid for the 2nd T20I played between New Zealand and Pakistan in Hamilton last month.

In a heartwarming gesture, a little boy named Will, who was picked to be at the coin toss with the two captains before the start of New Zealand's T20I against Pakistan on January 14, wrote a handwritten note thanking the Black Caps for the opportunity. He revealed that he used the chance at the Seddon Park in Hamilton to get his bat signed by most of the New Zealand players before going on to reveal that he wants to represent the Kiwis at the highest level in cricket someday.

"Thank you for picking me to be coin toss kid at the Blackcaps vs Pakistan match at Seddon Park, Hamilton which was played last night. I really like it and I got most players signature on my bat." he wrote in the letter, a picture of which has quickly gone viral on social media.

New Zealand Beat Pakistan 4-1 In 5-Match Series

The hosts went on to clinch this five-match series 4-1. Pakistan, under captain Shaheen Shah Afridi, were far from their best and could not compete in most fixtures before they picked up a solitary win in the final T20I at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch. As far as the second T20I of the series is concerned, which is where Will was the coin toss kid, the young fan witnessed a Kiwi victory by 21 runs with Finn Allen shining for the hosts with an innings worth 74 off 41.

With the bowl in hand it was Adam Milne who emerged as the pick of the bowlers for New Zealand, finishing with figures of 4/33. In response to New Zealand's 194/8, Pakistan had only managed to score 173, getting bowled out in 19.3 overs.
