Rawalpindi, April 28 (Ians) Pakistan opener Fakhar Zamans ninth century in Odi cricket helped the hosts secure a five-wicket victory over New Zealand in the series opener at the Pindi Cricket Stadium. Through this, Pakistan also claimed their 500th win in ODIs, becoming only the third team to do so after Australia and India.
Chasing 289, Zaman and Imam-ul-Haq shared a solid 124-run opening stand. After scoring his 15th Odi half-century, Imam was trapped leg-before by leg-spinner Ish Sodhi in the 22nd over, departing for 60 off 65 balls, laced with five fours and one six.
After ‘mam’s departure, Zaman added 90 runs for the second wicket with captain Babar Azam and also brought up his ninth Odi century in the 35th over. Babar missed out on his 25th Odi half-century by one when he was caught behind off pacer Adam Milne in the next over, with Shan Masood too departing cheaply.

Rawalpindi, April 25 (Ians) Left-handed batter Mark Chapman was on Tuesday added to the New Zealand Odi squad for the five-game series against Pakistan, which starts here on Thursday.
Head coach Gary Stead said Chapman’s performances throughout the five match T20 series, which ended in 2-2, were extremely compelling.
“The way Mark’s played against one of the best T20 bowling attacks in the world has been nothing short of outstanding. His match-winning knock in the fifth and deciding match was particularly special and we’re happy to have someone in such strong form added to our Odi squad,” said Stead in a media release.
Chapman’s total runs tally of 290 is the most by any player in a five-game T20I series.

Queenstown (New Zealand), April 8 (Ians) Opener Tim Seifert struck a blazing 88 off 48 deliveries to help New Zealand chase a modest target to beat Sri Lanka by four wickets in the third T20I and win the three-match T20I series 2-1, here on Saturday.
Opening the innings with Chad Bowes (17), Tim Seifert struck his second successive half-century after an unbeaten 79 in the second T20I in Dunedin won by the Black Caps. He added 53 runs for the first wicket partnership and then raised another 84 runs for the third wicket with skipper Tom Latham (31) as New Zealand chased the target of 183.
Sri Lanka’s innings of 182/4 in 20 overs was built around a 48-ball 73 by wicketkeeper Kusal Mendis, who got good support from Kusal Perera (33). But in the end, that score was not enough to stop New Zealand as they lost a couple of quick wickets but eventually reached 183/6 in the final over.

Hamilton, Nov 27 (Ians) Rain had the final say as a spot-start second Odi between India and New Zealand in Seddon Park was abandoned due to rain on Sunday. There were some predictions of rain threatening to disrupt the proceedings, but it washed off the match.
Before rain eventually prevailed, 12.5 overs of play was possible as India were pushed into batting first by New Zealand, who won the toss for the second time in as many matches of this series.
Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav entertained the crowd with some scintillating stroke-play on a pitch which was aiding fast bowlers. Suryakumar hit three glorious sixes in his unbeaten 25-ball 34, while Gill was crisp in his timing and placement of shots to be 45 not out off 42 deliveries.
For New Zealand, pacer Matt Henry took out captain Shikhar Dhawan for just three just after the match was reduced to 29 overs a side affair...

Hamilton, Nov 27 (Ians) The second Odi between India and New Zealand at Seddon Park here on Sunday has been reduced to 29 overs a side due to lengthy rain interruption. At the time when rain came in the way, India were 22/0 in 4.5 overs after being asked to bat first by New Zealand.
The rain, which has been predicted to make persistent appearances throughout the match, made sure that the ground staff were made to work hard as covers came off and then came back as the rain continued to oscillate between heavy and light.
India were 22/0 in 4.5 overs against New Zealand before rain arrived. Shubman Gill was batting on 19, driving elegantly past mid-on twice and cutting fiercely through cover. Giving him company was skipper Shikhar Dhawan, who was unbeaten on two.
Now as per the updated playing conditions for the match, the match is now 29 overs a side affair. There will be 10 minutes break between innings,...

Auckland, Nov 25 (Ians) As India captain Shikhar Dhawan notched up his 39th Odi fifty by hitting 72 off 79 balls against New Zealand in the Odi series opener at Eden Park on Friday, former India head coach Ravi Shastri was quick to point out that the left-handed opener doesn’t get the accolades he deserves.
Despite being slow at one stage in his innings, Dhawan was quick to get back on track for hitting 13 boundaries in a knock where he shared a 124-run opening stand with Shubman Gill, who also notched up a fifty to set the base for India’s 306/7 at the end of the first innings.
“He’s vastly experienced. He doesn’t get the accolades that he deserves. To be honest, most of the spotlight is on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. But when you look at his one-day cricket record, and you look at some of the innings...

Auckland, Nov 25 (Ians) Shreyas Iyer top-scored with 80 off 76 balls while captain Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill struck 72 and 50 respectively in their fourth hundred-plus stand as an opening pair this year to propel India to a challenging 306/7 in 50 overs in their Odi series opener against New Zealand at Eden Park on Friday.
On a drop-in pitch where batting wasn’t easy initially, India were aided by Dhawan and Gill having a solid opening stand of 124 in 23.1 overs after overcoming a slow start. Despite India losing four wickets for 36 runs in the middle stage of the innings, Iyer got India running towards a huge total by stitching a 94-run stand with Sanju Samson (36).
Washington Sundar applied finishing touches for India with an unbeaten blitz of 37 off 16 balls, smacking three fours and as many sixes to take India past 300 as 96 runs came off the last 10 overs. For New Zealand, Tim Southee and Lockie Ferguson...

Napier, Nov 23 (Ians) The steady rise of India’s young left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh continued as he picked his best-ever figures in T20I cricket with 4/37 in four overs in the third and final T20I against New Zealand at McLean Park in Napier.
While Mohammed Siraj rattled New Zealand batters with his hard lengths, Arshdeep was bringing out all the tools he had in his armoury to outclass the hosts’ batting line-up. He took out Daryl Mitchell with a potent bouncer and then dismissed Ish Sodhi for a first-ball duck with a pin-point yorker.
Apart from this, Arshdeep had taken out openers Finn Allen and Devon Conway too. He also showed his ability to bowl the knuckle-ball too. He credited senior pacers in the Indian team for helping him with adding more variety to his bowling skills.
“It’s all from the guidance from the experienced players in the team.

Napier, Nov 22 (Ians) New Zealand captain Tim Southee won the toss and opted to bat first against India in the third and final T20I which was delayed due to rain at the McClean Park, here on Tuesday.
New Zealand made one change in the playing XI as Mark Chapman came in place of regular captain Kane Williamson, who is missing this game due to a pre-arranged medical appointment.

As another chapter of the trans-tasman rivalry awaits cricket fans, the eyes of both Australia and New Zealand will be on the skies apart from the pitch and on-field conditions with 90 rain forecast threatening to disrupt the proceedings.
“We haven’t seen the pitch either. It was covered all this morning. We won’t confirm an 11 just yet because, if it’s short, then it will be likely to change. So we just have to wait and see tomorrow much closer to the match and have a look at the pitch,” said New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson on rain being a factor in the pre-match press conference.

Christchurch, Oct 9 (Ians) Devon Conway top-scored with a scintillating 70 not out while Michael Bracewell and Ish Sodhi took two wickets each in New Zealand’s eight-wicket win over Bangladesh in the ongoing T20I tri-series at Hagley Oval, here on Sunday.
After Bracewell (2/14), Sodhi (2/31), along with the fast bowling duo of Trent Boult (2/25) and Tim Southee (2/34) restricted Bangladesh to a lowly 137/8, Conway shared a match-winning 85-run stand with skipper Kane Williamson (30) for the second wicket to chase down the total in 17.5 overs.
Pushed into batting first, Bangladesh’s batting issues continued as their top-order batters just didn’t get going. After Southee took out Mehidy Hasan Miraz early, Sodhi and Bracewell took four wickets for 45 runs from New Zealand’s eight overs of spin bowling to leave Bangladesh at 78/5 in 13.3 overs.
