Pakistan wrap up series win

Tuesday, December 30 2003

Pakistan wrapped up the two test series today with a 1-0 series win at the Basin Reserve.

Pakistan's strange decision not to bat on for an extra 30 minutes last night nearly cost them with showers forcast for the whole of today. Luckly for Pakistan the showers came over night and the grounds people managed to get play underway just over 30 minutes late.

Pakistan then got the 28 required runs off only 3.5 overs to win the match and the series.

Score Summary Day 5:

New Zealand 366 (J Oram 97, M Richardson 82, D Vettori 44, Shoaib Akhtar 5/48, Shabbir Ahmed 3/87)

Pakistan 196 (Yousuf Youhana 60, Inzamam-ul-Haq 34, Abdul Razzaq 26, I Butler 6/46, J Oram 2/49, D Tuffey 1/46, D Vettori 1/47)

New Zealand 103 (M Richardson 41, S Fleming 24, Shoaib Akhtar 6/30, Shabbir Ahmed 2/30, Danish Kaneria 1/18)

Pakistan 277/3 (Yousuf Youhana 88*, Inzamam-ul-Haq 72*, Yasir Hameed 59, J Oram 1/34, D Vettori 1/59, I Butler 1/100)

Pakistan won by 7 wickets
