The Black Caps chased down Pakistan's 163 for six with four balls to spare, after winning the first game in Auckland by five wickets. New Zealand cruised to a five-wicket win over Pakistan in the first Twenty20 in Auckland's Eden Park Friday. The 40-year old Hafeez, out first ball in Auckland, was almost on his own for Pakistan with a career-best 99 which included 10 fours and five sixes. It was his fourth half-century from six innings in the past year and he put the consistency down to taking up golf. Southee was the pick of the New Zealand bowlers with four for 21.
