Rain in the desert: Dubai washout sees Black Caps share ODI series with Pakistan MARK GEENTYSky SportLockie Ferguson secured career-best ODI figures for New Zealand in the washout against Pakistan. A stern test of how the Black Caps batting fared without Kane Williamson in a high-pressure chase was doused by the Dubai rain on Monday (NZT). Rain stopped play in the seventh over and didn't let up as the umpires called play off around 7am (NZT). After opener Colin Munro bowled for a two-ball duck by Shaheen Afridi, a promoted Henry Nicholls and George Worker were rebuilding the chase but it looked a steep task for the Black Caps. The Black Caps returned to Dubai with the confidence of having won their last two ODI series deciders against Pakistan in the UAE: in 2009 and 2014.
