Pakistan Vs Newzealand

Pakistan opener, Hafeez, achieved the feat in his 61^st ODI and paved the way for the other batsmen to use long handle in the death overs as Pakistan scored 126 runs from the last 10 overs to score huge 293 runs for the loss of seven wickets from 50 overs.The greenish appearance of the track proved deceptive as the movement off the seam that Ross Taylor had banked on when opting to field proved negligible. At the same time, conditions weren't too easy for the batsmen early on either as the pitch played slow and low and the ball didn't come on. Hafeez, who has often squandered starts since his promotion to the top of the order, lost two partners, Ahmed Shehzad and Kamran Akmal, to deliveries that appeared to stop on the batsmen. But New Zealand's seamers lacked discipline and failed to apply pressure consistently, which allowed Hafeez to wrest the initiative.
