New Zealand Tour Of Uae

Craig's bowling average has gone from 55.20 to just over 40.50 in the space of less than one game. 59 overs left in the day, this game may finish today at this rate.
 
7/147 at tea, Pakistan have upped the rate but it has cost them more wickets, Sodhi gets two in one over with the wickets of Sarfraz Ahmed and Yasir Shah.

Strange approach from Pakistan though, would rather all out attack rather than try and bat out the game to a fifth day. 32 overs left today and Pakistan need 192 runs to make New Zealand bat again.
 
Historic victory for the lads! I know they won't be celebrating quite like they normally would but they should be extremely proud of that team effort.

Forgot to record it but it looks like a pretty ordinary performance from NZ in the first T20, fairly comfortable chase for Pakistan.
 
Is Niell McCullum really worth being in the international team?

Nathan McCullum.

He's a quality T20 bowler and all round player. He's handy with the bat and an excellent fieldsmen. 56 T20 matches with 52 wickets at an average economy of 6.77 is very respectable. Plus, I think he's the only Kiwi to have 50 international T20 wickets. His place in the ODI side is more questionable.
