| | | | | | | Pakistan Vs New Zealand ODI Series - ODI (1st Match) | | | November 3 | | | Finished | Pakistan |  | | 287/9 | ( 50 overs ) | | | | New Zealand |  | | 149/10 | ( 39.2 overs ) | | | | | | | | | | | | Do join us for the second ODI on Friday. |
| | | | | | | | | Man of the Match is Shahid Afridi : "The guys played very well. Guys like Khalid Latif, Kamran Akmal and Razzaq. YOunis gave me good confidence; he just told me to go and bat without any worries." |
| | | | | | | | | Younis: It was a good effort from Khalid Latif, he hung in there and then the allrounders came and turned it. Afridi's innings was the turning point. He was fantastic. Then Kamran Akmal played a fantastic innings. (On his own form) It's not always possible to score runs, hopefully I will come back. |
| | | | | | | | | Vettori: It started well for us but we lost the momentum. Kamran and Razzaq played superbly. Afridi came in late and then Akmal turned the momentum. In batting, we couldn't get the impetus going; we couldn't get a partnership going. |
| | | | | | | | | Man of the match: Shahid Afridi is the Man of the Match for his all-round effort |
| | | | | | | | | Kamran Akmal and Razzaq were instrumental in lifting Pakistan to a huge score which put the Kiwis under pressure. Gul and Aamer kept it tight first up and the Kiwis were never able to keep the asking rate in check. |
| | | | | | | | | A comprehensive victory for Pakistan then, second biggest win for Pakistan over New Zealand. |
