Pakistanis vs Victoria, at Melbourne, Nov 24 1972 - Cricket Stats

Pakistan were close to winning their first Test down under, but Tangles and Book Book had other ideas

At Christchurch, February 11

With a prudent approach to the match, Pakistan held New Zealand at arm's length and thus recorded their first Test rubber success away from home

Intikhab won the toss again -- it was New Zealand's seventh consecutive Test lost toss -- and his players made the most of this good fortune to inflict a crushing defeat on a New Zealand team which was expected to be very much in competition
