New Zealand coast to seven wicket win over Pakistan
New Zealand cruised to a seven-
wicket win over Pakistan in the first
of their two one-day internationals in
Wellington on Saturday. After
restricting Pakistan to 210 in the 46th
over, New Zealand reached their
target in the 40th over with Grant
Elliott not out on 64 and Ross Taylor
unbeaten on 59.
New Zealand captain Brendon
McCullum credited his side's tight
fielding for setting the platform for
victory. "It was probably the best
we've seen all summer and that
creates so much intensity and allows
the seamers to be able to really get
into the game," he said. "Obviously
the run chase was very well planned
by Grant and Ross."
The comfortable victory for New
Zealand underscored Pakistan's lack
of preparation two weeks away from
the start of the World Cup. It was
their first ODI since they were beaten
3-2 in a home series against New
Zealand before Christmas, and the
lack of match practice was evident
from the moment they lost the toss
and were put in to bat.
The batsmen lacked timing and later
the bowlers struggled with direction
against a New Zealand side which
had just completed a 4-2 series win
over Sri Lanka. Pakistan skipper
Misbah-ul-Haq believed they were
about 70 runs short of a competitive
total.
