Wasim and Waqar blew New Zealand away

Pakistan’s tour to New Zealand back in 1993 had only 1 Test, which was played at the Trust Bank Park in Hamilton. Skipper Javed Miandad led from the front after they were put into bat by the hosts, and the legendary batsman scored 92 runs only to see the rest of side struggle and eventually be bowled out for a mere 216 runs.

The Kiwis got a slender lead of 48 runs by virtue of a century from Mark Greatbatch. Danny Morrison produced a memorable performance, taking a five-for, which set the hosts a target of 127 runs for a win in the one-off tie.

Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis, who formed one of the deadliest bowling pairs in the world of cricket proved their worth once again. It took less than 44 overs to topple the Kiwi batting line-up. Akram and Waqar took 5 wickets each, restricting New Zealand’s total to 93 out of which 22 runs were extras and only two batsmen reached the double figure mark.
