WEB DESK – Kane Williamson, leading New Zealand in a Test for the first time at home, scored his 24th half century to guide the hosts to an eight-wicket victory in the first Test against Pakistan in Christchurch on Sunday.
The victory was New Zealand’s first in their last six Tests, having drawn the first match with South Africa in August before losing the second then being swept 3-0 by India in October.
“Naturally it’s tough coming off a few losses but its good to be home and the boys stepped it up and put some of those feelings of defeat behind us to play a very good test match,” Williamson said.
