    5/57(10)
That's a wrap to this one-sided game. The second ODI is on Wednesday, 11th January at 3 pm IST (9.30 am GMT). Do join us in advance for the build-up. Cheers!
Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan, says that they utilized the new balls perfectly and credits the fast bowlers. Praises his spinners also for executing the plans. Shares that their attempt was to build partnerships as it was not easy for a new batter. Lauds the batting effort of Mohammad Rizwan. He is happy with the bench strength and tells that he has a lot of options in both the pace and spin departments.
Kane Williamson, the captain of New Zealand, says that they would have liked a few more runs on the board. Calls Pakistan clinical with the ball. Adds that in the second half, there was some assistance for the bowlers as well and there is some learning for his team. Mentions that they needed to build more partnerships and need to do things a little better in all departments. Feels that the toss had an impact but refuses to say that it cost them the game as there was assistance for the bowlers in the second innings as well. Wants his team to learn quickly and move on.
Naseem Shah is the Player of the Match for his brilliant spell of 5 for 57 from his 10 overs. The young speedster says that personal performance only counts when you win the game. Praises the effort of all the players. Shares that it was reversing and he just stuck to the right areas.
Stay tuned for the presentation...
Agha Salman comes up for a quick chat. Says that it was a tricky surface and feels that 280-290 could have been a tough target. Shares that it was turning the same in the second innings but the reverse swing that Pakistan got, New Zealand didn't, maybe due to the dew factor. Adds that it's always important to win the first game of any series and it has set the tone for them.
Earlier, New Zealand's batting didn't get the kind of fluency needed to put a big total on the board. They kept losing wickets at regular wickets, and that robbed them of momentum. Credit to Pakistan for putting up a disciplined display with the ball and their fielding was also quite impressive. A word of praise for Naseem Shah who was brilliant, both at the start and at the backend, and finished with a 5-wicket haul.
As mentioned earlier, Pakistan were at ease during the chase. Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan played handy knocks and the likes of Haris Sohail and Agha Salman also chipped in with useful runs. An easy win in the end and the hosts will be quite pleased.
The only way to win this game for New Zealand was by picking wickets, and they struggled exactly to do that. Kane Williamson's captaincy was quite ordinary as he persisted with his spinners for a longer period even when they were not able to either take wickets or build pressure. Ish Sodhi could have been handy here and was missed. The other Kiwi bowlers tried hard but there was not enough consistency in their execution. Still, Michael Bracewell looked quite effective whenever he came on to bowl. He had a catch dropped (Fakhar Zaman on 39) off his bowling as well.
Clinical victory for Pakistan! It was a well-planned chase from them, and the home team showed how to bat in these conditions. Partnerships are always the key in any batting inning, and the hosts constructed plenty of stands on their way to the target. New Zealand were pretty much flat with their effort, looked undercooked in both departments and were always behind the 8-ball in this game.

LBW shout! Not given. Kane Williamson decides to review. Not much excitement shown by the Kiwis. Shortish and around off, Rizwan sits back to pull but misses. He is hit on the right thigh. Nothing on the UltraEdge and it's missing the stumps. New Zealand took the review because they had one.

What happened there? Fuller and outside off by Michael Bracewell, Mohammad Rizwan gets down to reverse-paddle this one but gets hit on his gloves perhaps as the ball lobs in front. Tom Latham dives forward but cannot get to it as Mohammad Rizwan comes in between. It gets stuck on the left flap of his pad and Rizwan is quick to shake it out. Both Latham and Rizwan see the funny side of it. Rizwan was overbalanced there and it was not intentional from him to block the path of the Kiwi keeper
Powerplay 3 time. One extra fielder, i.e. 5 can now be put outside the 30-yard circle till the end of this match. Michael Bracewell is back on.

Glenn Phillips To Babar Azam OUT!
OUT! STUMPED! Glenn Phillips perhaps senses the charge from the batter and slips a quicker one down the leg side. Babar is down the track, trying to wrist it on the leg side but misses. It probably brushes his pads and it's an excellent take from Latham. He grabs the ball and breaks the stumps in a flash. It's referred upstairs. The third umpire first checks for the edge which is absent. The side-on angle then finds Babar outside the crease. New Zealand have a big opening here. 88 needed off 81 balls.
Stumping appeal has been referred upstairs...

Drinks break. Pakistan continue to hold all the aces.

Glenn Phillips to bowl after the break...

Michael Bracewell To Babar Azam
NOT OUT! Fuller in length and just outside off, Babar kneels down to paddle sweep but misses. It clips his pads and rolls towards short fine leg. The bowler appeals and the batters cross. Kane Williamson takes the DRS. The Ball Tracking finds the impact to be outside the line. New Zealand lose one review.
DRS time. Appeal for an lbw against Babar Azam has not been entertained. Kane Williamson has reviewed the decision.
