Karachi: New Zealand’s domestic side Northern Districts have defeated Pakistan Shaheens by 21 runs in the first T20 at Seddon Park, Hamilton.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shaheens managed to score 182-9 despite a blistering opening start of 85 by Haider Ali and Zeeshan Malik.<\/p>\n

Haider was removed after he scored a brisk\u00a0\u00a051 runs off 26 balls, with the help of five fours and three sixes.<\/p>\n

Zeeshan partnered with captain Rohail Nazir and add\u00a0a 28-run partnership. Rohail was dismissed after scoring 20 off 15 balls.<\/p>\n

Shaheens looked comfortable at one stage of chasing the target but the dismissal of Zeeshan turned the match into Northern’s favor. He made 33-ball 52. At the backend, Hussain Talat (4), Iftikhar Ahmed (8), Khushdil Shah (25) couldn’t able to keep up the momentum in the chase.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Shaheens’ bowlers disappointed after putting Northern Districts to bat first. They posted 203\/2 in 20 overs courtesy a brilliant 99-run unbeaten knock by wicketkeeper-batsman Tim Seifert. His 55-ball innings included half a dozen fours and as many sixes.<\/p>\n

Northern’s skipper Anton Devcich made a fiery\u00a038 off 16 balls with the help of five fours and two sixes and\u00a0Katene Clarke scored 40 runs off 30 balls.<\/p>\n

Shaheens’ bowlers were expensive as Mohammad Hasnain and Haris Rauf gave away 58 and 44 runs in their overs while Amad Butt gave 25 in two.<\/p>\n

Pacer\u00a0Muhammad Musa and part-time spinner Khushdil Shah bagged one wicket each. Usman Qadir was economical, giving away only 22 in four overs.<\/p>\n

Shaheens will now face Wellington Firebirds in the second T20 on December 29.<\/p>\n
