A good win for New Zealand chasing 117 but after a torrid time at
the hands of Shoaib Akhtar et al.
Shoaib tried hard but it was Umar Gul and Abdul Razzaq who got the
3 wickets that fell
New Zealand batters kept their cool and kept scoring singles
whenever possible with a few chances dropped.
Pakistan had not batted well earlier with the ball seaming,
swinging and bouncing on a wicket that most felt was not suitable

for ODI's.
