Pakistan recovers after initial hiccups
ABU DHABI: Shahid Afridi, Kamran Akmal and Khalid Latif hit half-centuries to help Pakistan reach 287 for nine in the first day-night One-Day International against New Zealand at Abu Dhabi Stadium here on Tuesday.
Dashing all-rounder Afridi hit a quickfire 50-ball 70 and opener Latif a snail-paced 64 to help Pakistan recover from a precarious 75 for four after Younus Khan won the toss and opted to bat on a flat pitch.
Belligerent Akmal
Akmal gave the innings the final touches with a belligerent 43-ball 67 laced with four 6s and five 4s as Pakistan went on the rampage collecting 107 in the last 10 overs.
Vice-captain Afridi was instrumental in initially stepping up the run-rate with his bold hitting as he smashed three 6s and four 4s during his 30th half-century. — AFP
