Subject:      Pakistan vs New Zealand (1st ODI, Wellington, Dec 26)

   Pakistan easily beat New Zealand by 50 runs in the first of three
one-day internationals played on Saturday.  Put in to bat first at the
Basin Reserve, Pakistan struggled through a middle order collapse to
reach 158-8 with the match shortened to 49 overs after a brief delay
caused by rain.

   Pakistan opener Ramiz Raja top scored with 50, anchoring the
innings to the halfway mark. Captain Javed Miandad took over the role,
scoring 46 before he was dismissed in the final over.  Medium pacer
Chris Harris was the best of the New Zealand bowlers, capturing 24-3.
The bowling was generally tight and tidy and the Kiwis fielded well.

   The Pakistan total should have been within reach, but strike bowler
Wasim Akram had the New Zealanders in immediate trouble when he bowled
opener Rod Latham for one run and then sent his partner Mark
Greatbatch back to the pavilion for seven.  Akram's third wicket was
Andrew Jones, caught behind for a duck.  Captain Martin Crowe and Ken
Rutherford put up a brief resistence but they were soon both victims
of another fast bowler, Aaquib Javed. Crowe top scored for his team
with 28 and Rutherford made 18. The tailenders were in a hopeless
position and Akram finished them off, ending the match with figures of
5-19.
