Pakistan's winning streak broken as New Zealand win by 47 runs in first ODI
79
New Zealand paceman Trent Boult claimed a hat-trick to help lead his side to a 47-run win over Pakistan in the first one-day international in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.
Boult finished with 3 for 54 as Pakistan, set a testing target of 267, were bowled out for 219 as New Zealand took a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
Earlier, in the first innings, Ross Taylor and Tom Latham scored fighting half centuries to lift New Zealand to a challenging total of 266 with nine wickets lost.
Taylor scored 80 for his 42nd half century while Latham knocked a 64-ball 68 — including five hits to the ropes — to lift New Zealand from 78-3 after they won the toss and batted.
But once the Taylor-Latham fourth wicket standof 130 was broken, Pakistan's leg-spinner Shadab Khan derailed the innings with a burst of three wickets in the 42nd over to leave New Zealand at 210-7.
Tail-enders Ish Sodhi (24) and Tim Southee (20) added a precious 42 runs for the eight wicket to bring some respectability to New Zealand's total.
That helped New Zealand add 50 runs in the last five overs.
Paceman Shaheen Shah Afridi, playing only his fourth one-day international, had jolted New Zealand at the start with the wickets of George Worker (one) and Colin Munro (29).
Shaheen finished with 4-46 in his nine overs.
Shadab dismissed Kane Williamson for 27 before Taylor and Latham joined at 78-3.
Taylor had Latham in good support as New Zealand looked set for a big total at 199-3 after 40 overs before Shadab took three wickets in the 42nd over.
He dismissed Latham leg-before off the second delivery and did the same to Henry Nicholls for nought off the next and two balls later had Colin de Grandhomme caught in the slip without scoring.
The other two matches are in Abu Dhabi on Friday and Dubai on Sunday.
Teams:
New Zealand: Kane Williamson (captain), Trent Boult, Colin de Grandhomme, Lockie Ferguson, Tom Latham, Colin Munro, Henry Nicholls, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee, Ross Taylor, George Worker
Pakistan: Sarfraz Ahmed (capt), Fakhar Zaman, Imam-ul-Haq, Mohammad Hafeez, Babar Azam, Shoaib Malik, Shadab Khan, Imad Wasim, Hasan Ali, Junaid Khan, Shaheen Afridi

This is the difference with amir, who couldn't take wickets. A good bowler relies on lbw and bowled. Shaheen Afridi is a welcome package, as this is what he does, and too Junaid.

People talk about sarfraz being overly criticised. Well at the end of the day at 30 overs you want to give the ball to your fast bowlers, which he is not doing. They are all wicket takers in this line up, so he should really throw the ball to them.

A great test of the mental, physical, psychological and spiritual abilities, traits and skills of Sarfraz and party encapsulating the gentleman's game of cricket against the Kiwis, by far, one of the top cricket teams in the world, in the just started three- match ODI series at the dry and dead wickets of U.A.E.

267 is a tricky score...top order batsmen should show some patience, bat a few quite overs, rotate strike and not take any risk.
By 25 overs, get a decent score of around 140 without loosing more than couple of wickets. From there on the ball would cease to do much...Shaheens can then just scrape through.

Pakistan in real trouble as Boult strikes three thunderbolts in a row. Chasing a target of 266,

a difficult situation for Pakistan but the middle

This team needs Azhar to strengthen the batting. Someone who can play 30+ overs like CT final. Team getting bowled out in 30 overs cant worry about him being slow. Another obvious change needs to be Abbas or Amir need to replace Junaid. Need strike bowlers from both end. Abbas should be tried in ODI.

Where are the supporters of Junaid Khan? Absolutely clueless and lacked any variety.
As for Hafeez being taken off the attack, silly reaction. Since when did it become a rule that a batsman can question a bowlers action? Ross Taylor was shamefully wrong. He knew he couldn't face Hafeez and got him out of attack using cheap tactic.
I can't see any seriously credible pace bowler in this attack. Umar Gul is far better than JK, and even Wahan Riaz, Ruman Raees and M Irfan or Amir could have played today.

Good bowling from both sides. Toothless batting from Pakistan's top three and the tail enders. Sarfarz and Imad showed how to rebuild innings. Could have been a close game had our tail enders shown some courage. Regardless, openers need to learn to stay and score slowly by rotating the strike.

A particular team can never be CHAMPIONS in all the three formats at a given time. So, let's be practical and give due credit to Pakistan for at least being the No. 1 T20I team in the world.

Whenever Pakistan will play a superior team, there is a greater chance of losing the match. This match was played in Pakistan's chosen home turf, and we all know this climate is not ideal for those coming from NZ.
If you don't like losing, play against a lower level team.

Congratulations to NZ on their excellent show! However, the margin of victory hides the fact that Pakistan were in the match till the 46th over in spite of the hat-trick. But for the umpiring howler which cost Shadab his wicket, they could have still made it, I thought. They HAVE won before even after losing the top order to a hat-trick before, as we Indians know. :)
This was a cracker of a match and hope the other two are equally exciting. Best of luck to both teams.

@Ganesh S, people question Aussies ethics. But yesterday I was disgusted by New Zealand. Two or three acts which absolutely disgusted me. Firstly Taylor acting like the match referee. If Hafeez throws, the umpire should decide. Who is he? Secondly, Sodhi appealing against Shadab caught behind. He clearly knew there was daylight between the bat. The umpire increased the madness. Thirdly, the wicket keeper barging into Sarfraz after he was bowled. Absolutely disgusting behaviour on all three parts. Vile.

Anwar Ali also allows four fast bowlers. I would go with Shaheen, Junaid, Hasan and Anwar. With rotation with Usman and Mir Hamza on regular basis. My eleven for world cup also- Fakhar, Imam, Azam, Imad Wasim, Anwar Ali, Sarfraz, Shadab,Hafeez, Hasan/Faheem, Shaheen, Junaid.

@Harris, I am not watching - I am actually playing league cricket good Sir.
The fact that Wahab Riaz is leaking runs is not indicative of his overall ability. He has also won us games and turned matches around at crucial times. He has been labelled since the infamous first game bashing he received from India, on a batting friendly, dolly of a pitch in England.
As for Amir, he will return. He has to spend time on his game and 5 years without cricket cannot be replaced in a year. Ruman Raees is the guy who bowled brilliantly against England in the Semi Final of Champions Trophy. And guess what, I was in Cardiff, watched it all from the boundary line!
My comment was merely to highlight that we are taking far too many youngsters and we should not write off our senior bowlers after a series or two. They are all humans and need time to gather themselves.

I guess people are looking at Sarfraz like Misbah, Someone who can anchor the innings in any situation and get the team out a tough situation.
