Pakistan beat New Zealand by 138 runs
New Zealand
Pakistan
Pakistan have completed a comprehensive victory over New Zealand as the later have been bowled out for 149 in 39.2 overs. The sub-continent side have hence completed a stunning 138-run win to go 1-0 up in the 3-match ODI series.
After a good show in the batting department, Pakistan steadily started the second innings, not allowing the openers to fire. Gul then struck for a couple of times while Aamer also chipped in to leave New Zealand in early trouble. Redmond (52) got a partnership going with skipper Vettori (38) and gave their side a ray of hope before they were dented by the Pakistani spinners. The duo of Afridi and Ajmal bowled superbly picking up two wickets apiece as the Kiwi late order collapsed quickly. Razzaq also scalped a couple of important wickets during the middle overs. It was a clinical performance by the Pakistan side after they started on a bad note earlier in the first innings. Hang on for the presentation news..
Shahid Afridi is named the Man of the Match for his brilliant innings with the bat that changed the complexion of the game and gave Pakistan the momentum towards the end of the first innings. He even picked up a couple of wickets in the second innings.
That's it from the first ODI. Pakistan lead the series 1-0 and the second game will be played on the 6th of November at the same venue. Do join us for that game. Good Bye! Cheers!
