Date-stamped : 13 Jan96 - 14:38 ODI # 1024 New Zealand v Pakistan, 3rd One-Day International. Basin Reserve, Wellington. 20 December 1995. Pakistan beat N.Z. - Qamar Ahmad Pakistan`s 54-run victory in the third one-day international against New Zealand at the Basin Reserve was marred by act of in- discipline by two Pakistan players Aqib Javed and Mushtaq Ahmed, who were both fined by the Sri Lankan match referee Ranjan Madu- galle. Aqib Javed was fined 50 per cent of his match fee and Mushtaq Ahmed 10 per cent for showing dissent to an opposing player and an umpire. The incidents occurred during a run chase by the New Zealand batsmen who were left to score a daunting 262 runs to take the lead in the four match series. Having won a leg before decision against Adam Parore by umpire Evan Watkin after the batsman had struck a four off him on the previous delivery, Aqib dashed down the wicket in his follow- through charging at the batsman in anger to tell him off in no uncertain manner as Parore turned to walk away. Aqib`s team- mates had to restrains the bowler and had to hush him away in case he went out of control. And Mushtaq Ahmed, who was deprived of a caught and bowled deci- sion against the New Zealand captain Lee Germon by umpire Evan Watkin, had signalled to umpire Steve Dunne to have a third um- pire version of a stumping by Rashid Latif off him, after Dunne had categorically passed a judgement of the batsman Stephen Flem- ing being not out. In a way Mushtaq Ahmed was giving vent to his feeling of injus- tice after he was denied a wicket by umpire Watkin earlier. But he should have known better and should have behaved himself. After all the match was fully in Pakistan`s grip. It seems that Aqib Javed has not learnt his lesson from two ear- lier convictions by batch referees. This is Wasim`s third offence for which he has been penalised. Pakistan despite poor umpiring and even poorer fielding bowled New Zealand out for 207 after having scored 261 for 4 after being put in. Craig Spearman and Nathan Astle in only the eighth over had taken the score to 48 but then three wickets fell within four balls on that score and New Zealand lost their way. Spearman, who had struck three fours off Aqib Javed and two more later during his innings of 33, was caught one-handed by Aamir Sohail at cover off Wasim Akram and Bryan Young was out on the next ball. In the next over Astle hit one in the air to mid-off to be caught by Ramiz Raja off Aqib Javed. Wasim Akram was on a hat-trick in his next over but the bowled one outside the leg stump of Stephen Fleming. Roger Twose, who made 37 and was the seventh man out, should have been given out caught when he had not scored. A chest-high delivery was hooked to long-leg where Mushtaq took a brilliant catch but umpire Dunne in his own wisdom declared a no-ball. Any- thing over the batsman`s shoulder is declared a no-ball, but that delivery from Waqar Younis was not. Twose and Fleming later put on 47 runs for the fifth wicket after Parore was dismissed by Aqib. In a mix-up Chris Cairns was run out and when Twose and Dipak Patel were also gone, New Zealand with 166 for 8 in the 37th over were already in the dump. Gavin Larsen survived only five deliveries but the last wicket stand of Germon and Morrison added 33 runs before New Zealand were all out. Earlier Pakistan after being put in were given a solid start of 51 runs by Aamir Sohail and Ramiz Raja. Ramiz was run out for 21 but Aamir Sohail in 83 balls scored 58 runs with the help of six fours to add 56 runs with Ijaz Ahmed before being bowled by Lar- sen. Ijaz Ahmed and Inzamam-ul-Haq later shared 31 runs for the third wicket. Inzamam, the dominant of the two, made a polished 54, his second successive so in the one-day series. There were six fours in his innings, which was attractive and entertaining. With Salim Malik who made 42 he also had added 79 very valuable runs for the fourth wicket. Malik and Wasim Akram later blasted 44 runs for the unbroken fifth wicket partnership. Wasim`s share of that stand being 36 glorious runs. In fifteen balls he had struck three fours and two sixes off Cairns and Morrison. Source :: Dawn Wire Service Contributed by The Management (help@cricinfo.com)
