Imran Nazir smashed his first half-century in limited-overs since returning from the ICL and some swinging from the lower order pushed the target to a tough 162. The spin pair of Shahid Afridi and Saeed Ajmal had confounded New Zealand’s batsmen in the one-dayers, but the match was settled even before they came into the attack today.

New Zealand have less than a day to regroup and find XI fit players before the second Twenty20 on Friday.

Pakistan (possible): Kamran Akmal (wk), Imran Nazir, Shoaib Malik, Shahid Afridi (capt), Umar Akmal, Fawad Alam, Abdul Razzaq, Mohammad Aamer, Umar Gul, Iftikhar Anjum/Sohail Tanvir, Saeed Ajmal.

New Zealand (possible): Brendon McCullum (wk), Aaron Redmond, Martin Guptill, Ross Taylor, Scott Styris, Daniel Vettori (capt), Neil Broom/BJ Watling, Nathan McCullum, Ian Butler, Shane Bond, Tim Southee.

Pakistan have a far superior record in Twenty20s this year – they won the World Twenty20 and overall have seven wins in nine games. New Zealand are no slouches themselves – they beat Sri Lanka 2-0 in what was their only highlight of a disappointing tour in September- but their success in Abu Dhabi couldn’t hide their struggle against spin. Saeed Ajmal and Shahid Afridi, with their wily variations, nibbled away at New Zealand while proving economical. With the pair, and possibly Shoaib Malik, likely to gobble a major share of the 20 overs, the New Zealand batsmen, who gave up 12 wickets at 22.42, face a serious challenge.

New Zealand will be without Kyle Mills and James Franklin, nursing shoulder and back injuries respectively. Jacob Oram is also unavailable – he’s flown back home to attend the birth of his child. With only 12 players to choose from, they are likely to draft in Ian Butler and Nathan McCullum.

Ross Taylor has proved destructive in the death overs in this format. His exploits in the IPL and the Champions League Twenty20 are well known but his performances on the international circuit – he averages 23.68 in Twenty20 internationals against 34.31 overall – have been less successful. He’ll want to change that.

Match : Pakistan vs New Zealand 3rd ODI

Date: 9th Nov 2009

Venue: Abu Dhabi

Time: Match scheduled to begin at 15:00 local time (11:00 GMT)

As brightly as Pakistan began this three-match contest, it is New Zealand who now hold the whip and it hasn’t even been a week since it all started.

In coming back to level the series, New Zealand were magnificent. Like Australia here earlier in the year, their batsmen took some time, but eventually adjusted to the conditions; in Brendon McCullum’s case, he adjusted to a lot more than just conditions and all of New Zealand will hope that it might be the start of something special. He got good support from his colleagues, none more than Martin Guptill. The lower order, as long as Daniel Vettori is leading it, does not crumble readily.
