Naseem Shah Monday created history as Pakistan restricted New Zealand to 255/9 in the first one-day international at the National Bank Cricket Arena.

The 19-year-old, who was playing only his fourth ODI, claimed the figures of five for 57 from his 10-over spell after Pakistan invited New Zealand to bat on a turning wicket.

The right-arm pacer has now bagged 15 wickets, which is the most by any bowler after four games. Ryan Harris and Gary Gilmour had 14 each from their first four ODIs.

Naseem started off the proceeding with the wicket of Devon Conway, who departed for a golden duck. In his return spell, he claimed the wickets of Glenn Phillips, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner, and Henry Shipley.

After reaching 213, It was all Naseem Shah’s show. He made an instant impact in the game by removing Phillips (37). In the next over, he cleaned up Bracewell (43) and Henry Shipley (0) on consecutive deliveries to reduce Kane Williamson’s side to 220/8.

Naseem in his last over of the innings bowled a slower delivery to deceive Santner as he completed his second five-wicket haul.
