Pakistan v New Zealand Watch FREE Online: '1st ODI' Cricket Match @ 16:00 GMT

Tags:cricket

The two-game T20I series between the Black Caps and the Men in Green finishes knotted at a win apiece, after New Zealand launched a comeback, 17-run win in the second outing. Action now turns to the first game of an ODI series, once again in Dubai.

New Zealand looks as comfortable coming from behind in series in 2014 as playing from ahead. The man of the match Friday was Anton Devcich, who scored 21 and picked up 2 for 16 in the win. With the World Cup looming on the horizon, both teams will use this series as an opportunity to test lineups and try and gain some momentum moving forward.

If the Men in Green want to open the ODI series the same way they opened the T20I series, Sarfraz Ahmed will need to play as well as he did last week. The team credited the 27-year-old wicketkeeper as a key catalyst for their success.
