CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand — A new era for Pakistan white ball cricket has got off to a rough start with a nine wicket loss to New Zealand in the first of five Twenty20 internationals. The Pakistan batting crumbled against the New Zealand pace attack and the tourists were all out for 91 in 18.4 overs, its fifth-lowest total in a T20 match. New Zealand easily ran down that total, reaching 92-1 from 10.1 overs with Tim Seifert making 44 from 29 balls and Finn Allen 29 from 17.
