Well done hassan ali and Yasir Shah, great bowling!
A test match to remember for a long time. An outstanding effort from New Zealand to win this after being out of the game for so long. Their never-say- die attitude is so wonderful and Test Cricket is well and truly alive #PakvNZ

Pakistan kept their supporters on the edge, but they're used to that, aren't they?
Don't you just love Pakistan Cricket .. so so unpredictable .. 130 for 3 needing a further 45 to win the Test & lose by 4 .. Test cricket is alive & kicking .. We have witnessed some great games over the last few months .. Pitches are the key ..

From 147/4 to lose chasing 176 required a special effort not just from NZ but from Pakistan. Only Pak can provide such thrillers out of easy victories. Well done to NZ and bad luck Pak #PakvNZ

Spare a thought for their coach Mickey Arthur.

Many fans in New Zealand would've stayed up late.
How do you sleep after that?! #PAKvNZ @BLACKCAPS

Unfortunately, there were hardly any to witness the match at the ground in Abu Dhabi.
Imagine the hundreds of thousands of people who will tell their grandkids "I was there in Abu Dhabi when New Zealand beat Pakistan by 4 runs"

Does that explain the result?
Pakistan and New Zealand putting the 'Oye Hoye!' in the #oyehoyecup #PAKvsNZ
