The 1st Test Match between Pakistan & New Zealand at Karachi was drawn. The visitors would feel that they missed a golden opportunity to win the Test Match as they had required another 77 runs where the target was 138 runs but due to bad light, the umpires decided not to play.
Babar Azam surprisingly declared on 311-8 when the team when Saud Shakeel was looking quite ominous as his score was 55 runs in 108 balls where he struck 7 fours and 1 six. The Skipper Babar Azam would be relieved as New Zealand almost pulled off a heist

Kane Williamson & Ish Sodhi Dazzle
The former Kiwi Skipper Kane Williamson smashed a double century in the 1st innings where he was looking in sublime touch. Williamson struck his 5th double hundred and played a terrific knock of 200 runs in 395 balls where he hit 21 fours and 1 six. The right-handed batter took New Zealand’s total to a mammoth 612-9 runs and New Zealand took a massive lead of 174 runs.

New Zealand Cricket Team’s shrewd leg spinner Ish Sodhi bowled his heart out as he took 6 scalps in his 36.5 overs where he was seen bowling wicket to wicket. Sodhi was seen given long spells which did wonders for the team. Skipper Tim Southee didn’t look as if he was captaining in his maiden Test Match as his field placements were spot on.
The Men in Green would be utterly disappointed with their performance, especially with Sarfaraz Ahmed. The wicket-keeper batter had good outings with the bat in both innings but he dropped a lot of catches, and missed stumpings. It would be interesting to see whether the management brings back Rizwan and play Sarfaraz as a batter in 2nd Test.
