Kyle Jamieson fires New Zealand to massive innings win and No. 1 on the rankings

Ambushed by pace and hostility, Pakistan's forgettable tour of New Zealand is over. A 2-0 series sweep for New Zealand produces them the No. 1 side in Test cricket, and provides them a chance of making the final of the World Check Championship at Lord's in June.

Kyle Jamieson, only six Tests old, was the shining star, finishing with meet numbers of 11 for 117 as New Zealand wrapped up victory inside four times. Pakistan's 186 all out had not been even a color of their first-innings work on a green day-one surface, where Azhar Ali and Mohammad Rizwan showed admirable fight.

Just debutant Zafar Gohar, who made 34 in the initially innings, made some kind of the feeling with the bat in the next to score 37. Picked simply because a bowling allrounder, he finished with none for 159 along with his left-arm spin, but could possibly be left wanting to know if he did enough with the bat to keep his place when Pakistan next play Tests, at home against South Africa.

It told you just how much all of those other bating line-up applied themselves - or didn't - about a area that was far from menacing. Azhar Ali's 37 was joint-best within an innings where Pakistan collapsed in a heap to Jamieson, who seems to operate with a simple formula: pitch it on a size, receive the ball to back off the deck and also have the batsmen second-guessing their own technique.

This plan consumed Abid Ali, who went for an expansive drive at the first sight of width. Having take off his scoring for 20 deliveries and near 40 a few minutes, he was out generating to backward level where substitute Will Little threw himself to his kept to accomplish a one-handed stunner.

Haris Sohail fell immediately after lunch, pressing with an angled bat to one which nipped away, finishing the tour with a good disappointing 28 runs in four innings. Then came the set-up of the day. Having figured Azhar wasn't comfortable participating in back, Jamieson went the Neil Wagner method and strike his rib-cage from around the wicket.

One above is all it took for the program to are Azhar, looking to hop away to fend gloved an individual down the leg area to BJ Watling. This induced panic and a wayward approach to the short ball; the lower buy seemed to slog their way out of trouble instead of get behind the line.

As the short ball was on the mind so very much, the batsmen were wanting to push at full deliveries, Mohammad Rizwan's dismissal being a case in point. A sucker ball - total - does him in, swinging back to sneak through the gap between bat and pad to crash into the stumps.

Fawad Alam, Pakistan's sole centurion in tour, then held 1 end up, somehow ducking and weaving his way to avoid it of a good short-ball barrage against the good old ball before poking in a good delivery he should've still left to be away of 16, caught by Ross Taylor in slip. From there on, it had been only a query of when Pakistan would fold.

So assured were New Zealand of imminent victory that Kane Williamson, a reluctant bowler, brought himself on for the very first time as captain. Having skipped an lbw with a slider, he previously Shaheen Afridi captured at slip taking a slog.

Victory was achieved an hour after tea when Gohar swung someone to Matt Henry in long leg. This finished a golden Test summer for New Zealand, where they earned each of their four Tests - two apiece against West Indies and Pakistan.

Having done their bit, they'll now sit back and watch how points pan out pertaining to Australia and India. Their outcomes - and against one another and other clubs - over the approaching weeks will decide which two groups deal with off in the WTC last.
