Razzaq stars in Pakistan’s victory over New Zealand


Pakistan had already lost the T20 series but they came back hard at the hosts to get them a taste of defeat. Razzaq starred in this Paki victory with both bat and ball. Pakistan won the fantastic game of cricket in style to bring an end to the T20 series against the black caps.

New Zealand has won the series but the way they lost the third game was terrible with all their top four players being dismissed for a duck. Pakistan batted first and were provided with an electric start by both the openers. While towards the end, Razzaq came to do the rest of the damage by playing a cameo of 33 runs off just 11 deliveries to get to a mammoth total of 183 for the loss of 6 wickets.

It was now New Zealand’s turn to bat, their batting start was a nightmare with top four players gone for 0. It was Styris who tried to get them out of trouble scoring a well made 45 but for a losing cause as no other kiwi player reached a double figure. Paki bowlers did most of the damage with Afridi taking 4 for 14 and Razzaq again doing it with the ball as well and getting 3 for 13.  

The last cricket game might just get the Pakistani team on the right winning track with World Cup 2011 not much far kiwi will be troubled about their batting inconsistency even after winning the T20 series against the strong Pakistani side.
