Confirmed development
New Zealand defeated Pakistan by six wickets at McLean Park in Napier on 20 February 2001 to level the one-day series at 1–1. After choosing to field, New Zealand restricted the visitors to 135 all out from their 50 overs. Daryl Tuffey led the bowling with four wickets for 24 runs in a full ten-over spell.
Details
Abdul Razzaq provided Pakistan’s main resistance with 50 from 113 balls, while Waqar Younis finished unbeaten on 22. Daniel Vettori took two for 29 and Chris Harris conceded only 12 runs in ten overs while collecting a wicket. New Zealand’s target was therefore 136 from a maximum of 50 overs.
Context
The home side lost four wickets, including Stephen Fleming for 28, before Craig McMillan and Lou Vincent completed the chase. McMillan remained unbeaten on 31 and Vincent on 33 as their unbroken fifth-wicket partnership added 62. New Zealand reached 136 for four in 30.3 overs, and Tuffey received the Player of the Match award.
