Umar Akmal's inspired half century for Pakistan helped the host set the Kiwis a target of 154 to draw their two game Twenty20 Series in Dubai.
Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi won the toss and elected to bat hoping his openers would take the game away from the Kiwis in a repeat of last nights success.
They found it hard going in the early over's with openers Imran Nazir and Kamran Akmal both struggling to get any rhythm going.
The pair were both dismissed by Butler inside the first six overs and it was left to Akmal with support from Afridi and Fawad Alam to steer Pakistan to a defendable total.
