Pakistan vs New Zealand, 1st ODI Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

22:11 Local Time, 17:11 GMT, 22:41 IST: A clinical display from the Kiwis to register a comprehensive win in the tri-series opener. Fifties from Williamson and Mitchell helped New Zealand's cause but the real impact came from Phillips. He was in a different zone today and smashed the Pakistani bowlers to all parts of the ground. The hard-hitting middle-order batter scored a scintillating century to take his side to an above par total on a slightly sluggish surface. The hosts conceded 84 runs off the last 5 overs and that's where they lost the game. The fact that Haris Rauf suffered a side strain and couldn't bowl in the death overs took a toll on Pakistan. In reply, Babar Azam fell cheaply but Fakhar Zaman was going great guns. The southpaw found his range and played some eye-catch stroke to raise a fifty. Ghulam struggled for rhythm and his dismissal led Pakistan to lose another couple of wickets in quick succession. Zaman's dismissal faded away Pakistan's hopes. Agha and Tahir tried to stabilize things with a 50-run stand but the asking rate kept on rising and the hosts crumbled under pressure. Santner and Bracewell were brilliant as they got the ball to turn and grip and shared five wickets between them. Henry finished things off as he took a 3-fer.
