Nathan Astle and Matt Horne hammered 75 for the first wicket off just 11.5 overs before Pakistan grabbed four wickets in the space of four runs to ruin the bright start. Chris Harris (35) and Scott Styris (43) boosted the total, but the advantage lay with Pakistan as off-spinner Saqlain Mushtaq and seamer Wasim Akram grabbed three wickets each. The winner of the last league match in the three-nation tournament will qualify for Wednesday's final against Sri Lanka. New Zealand had lost all its nine encounters against Pakistan at this desert venue, but teams batting first in this particular event have successfully defended their totals in the five matches so far. New Zealand's injury woes continued as frontline batsman Craig McMillan joined wicket-keeper Chris Nevin on the sidelines with a foot injury. The Kiwis are already depleted by the absence of six injured players, including star all-rounder Chris Cairns, batsman Lou Vincent and main spinner Daniel Vettori. — AFP
