The ground in Mohali is sprayed before the game to counter the effect of late dew but Pakistan still opt to field first

Umar Gul earns Pakistan's first strike when Lou Vincent swipes at a straight ball and is clean bowled with the score on three

Stephen Fleming anchors the innings but Nathan Astle and Peter Fulton both depart cheaply to leave the score at 60-3

Fleming passes his fifty and steers New Zealand into a stronger position with Scott Styris deputising at the other end

Fleming eventually falls for 80 to a caught and bowled by Shoaib Malik having advanced New Zealand to 168-4

Styris maintains the momentum with Jacob Oram and battles to an impressive 86, despite needing a runner

Pakistan eventually winkle out Styris but a rapid 27 from Brendon McCullum lifts New Zealand to 274-7 after 50 overs

New Zealand then seize the initiative out in the field as Shane Bond strikes early to dismiss opener Imran Farhat for six

The dangerous Younis Khan also departs cheaply but Mohammad Hafeez briefly frustrates New Zealand's efforts

Hafeez departs with the score at 65-3, well caught by McCullum off Oram for 43, while Shahid Afridi adds only four

Mohammad Yousuf digs in and reaches his fifty, batting with Shoaib Malik through interruptions to mop up the dew

Yousuf eventually succumbs to Bond for 71 and when Malik is also out at 195-6, Pakistan's chase is as good as over

Pakistan's lower order offer little resistance as New Zealand tie up a 51-run victory and book a place in the semi-finals
