Pakistan A v New Zealanders - 4 day match - at Rawalpindi - 1980/1 - Pakistan A 1st Innings

Contrasting hundreds to Mudassar Nazar and Wasim Raja set up a strong Pakistan A total of 340 all out.
The last wicket pair of Iqbal Qasim and Sikander Bakht frustrated the New Zealanders in adding 44 to swell the lead to 94.
Ewan Chatfield was the best of a steady New Zealand attack, while offspinner John Bracewell's form would be a concern heading into the Tests.

Pakistan v New Zealand - 1st Test - at Sialkot - 1980/1 - Match Preview

After some inconsistent form in the warmup games New Zealand face a strong Pakistan side in the 1st Test at Sialkot.
Pakistan start as heavy favourites in view of a pitch which will favour the spinners throughout, having picked 3 spinners for this match.
With the conditions in mind New Zealand have picked 2 specialist spinners and 2 batsmen who also bowl part time spin, with Chatfield winning the race to partner Hadlee with the New Ball.

Pitch: (pre 1988) - 71 - The surface already appears to be cracking and will probably help the spinners throughout.
Day 1 Starting Pitch: 8A - Some Help for Spinners
Day 1 Weather: 1 - Hot and Humid
Injuries: Sadiq Mohammad (back strain - 1 match)

Pakistan: Mudassar Nazar, Taslim Arif (wk), Mansoor Akhtar, Javed Miandad, Zaheer Abbas, Majid Khan, Wasim Raja, Imran Khan, Sarfraz Nawaz, Tauseef Ahmed, Iqbal Qasim

New Zealand: J.G.Wright, B.A.Edgar, G.P.Howarth (c), J.F.M.Morrison, M.G.Burgess, J.V.Coney, W.K.Lees (wk), R.J.Hadlee, J.G.Bracewell, E.J.Chatfield, S.L.Boock

Pakistan v New Zealand - 1st Test - at Sialkot - 1980/1

Mudassar Nazar and Wasim Raja continued their good form from the Pakistan A game, the pair again posting centuries in a dominant Pakistan total of 536.
Only playing because Sadiq Mohammad was injured, Mudassar made the most of the opportunity, going on to a Test best at the time of 163.
With the weather Humid on Day 1 and aiding Swing deliveries and already offering Some Help to the Spinners, the New Zealanders had bowled poorly.
Stephen Boock took 4 wickets in 45 overs of steady left arm spin, but with Zaheer Abbas and Majid Khan also posting half centuries the home side were in complete control.

Pakistan v New Zealand - 1st Test - at Sialkot - 1980/1 - New Zealand 1st Innings

The Pakistan spinners took 7 wickets between them in a good allround bowling display that saw New Zealand dismissed on a wicket now Taking Spin for just 129.
With the wicket set to get worse later in the match and plenty of time left Pakistan captain Imran Khan elected to bat again 407 runs ahead rather than enforce the follow on.
Nightwatchman Warren Lees and allrounder Jeremy Coney were New Zealand's only resistance in a disappointing effort with the bat.

The Pakistan batsmen struggled in their 2nd innings on a pitch that was Taking Spin, with the New Zealand spinners sharing 8 wickets.
Offspinner John Bracewell was the best of the bowlers with 4 wickets, but Pakistan did enough to set New Zealand a target of over 500 on a pitch that will be Breaking Up at some point on Day 5.

Pakistan v New Zealand - 1st Test - at Sialkot - 1980/1 - New Zealand 2nd Innings

Pakistan left arm spinner Iqbal Qasim took 5-43 off 31 overs as New Zealand were shot out cheaply a second time to lose the 1st Test by 400 runs.
With the pitch Taking Spin they had no chance of survival, the pitch finally changing to Breaking Up just before the end of their innings.
Man of the Match was Pakistan opener Mudassar Nazar who set up a huge 1st innings total with a big hundred.
