Opener Saeed Anwar steered Pakistan to a five-wicket win yesterday in a rain-shortened one-day cricket international against New Zealand.
Anwar hit 60 not out off 72 balls as Pakistan, needing 123 for victory in 30 overs, reached five for 123 with almost four overs to spare.
Wicket-keeper Rashid Latif provided support at the right time after New Zealand had put the pressure on, with a breezy 32 in 18 balls.
Morning rain reduced the 50-over game to 30 a side and that favoured the team batting second.
But New Zealand's bowlers worked hard and had Pakistan four for 35 in the 11th over.
When left-hander Asif Mujtaba holed out to mid-off after helping to add 39 for the fifth wicket, Pakistan still had plenty to do for victory. But Anwar played a sound hand, anchoring the innings and rarely looking in difficulty.
New Zealand was handicapped by rain delays in its innings, particularly by the second stoppage.
The second match in the five-game series is at Auckland on Sunday
