in the first ODI by six wickets<\/a> at National Stadium in Karachi on Monday.<\/p>\nChasing the paltry target of 256, Pakistan lost Imam-ul-Haq<\/strong> early, but Fakhar Zaman<\/strong> and skipper Babar Azam<\/strong> took charge to cruise further. The duo added 78 runs for the second wicket before Zaman was dismissed for a well-made 56.<\/p>\nBabar then formed a 60-run stand for the second wicket with Mohammad Rizwan<\/strong> to solidify Pakistan\u2019s chase. Babar, however, lost his wicket for 66, but Rizwan kept his stand alive and took the team over the finish line with a brilliant unbeaten knock of 77 runs.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nEarlier, Naseem Shah<\/strong> took his second five-wicket haul in ODIs to restrict New Zealand to 255\/9 in their allotted 50 overs. Naseem was right on the money from the very first over of the Black Caps\u2019 innings when he cleaned up Devon Conway for a golden duck with a nail-biting yorker.<\/p>\nNaseem then got rid of Glenn Phillips<\/strong> (37), Michael Bracewell<\/strong> (43), Mitchell Santner<\/strong> (21) and Henry Shipley<\/strong> (0) to complete his five-wicket haul. Apart from the right-arm pacer, debutant leg-spinner Usama Mir also played his part by bagging a couple of wickets. For the visitors, Tom Latham<\/strong> and Bracewell made valuable contributions with 37 and 43, respectively.<\/p>\nHere is how Twitter reacted:<\/h2>\n
