Pakistan were not able handle weight, concedes Sarfraz 

It was continually going to be troublesome for Pakistan to pursue an objective over 150. Not because of the idea of the pitch but rather because of their propensity for surrendering to the scoreboard weight. A year ago at a similar scene, they fell 21 runs shy of a 136-run focus against Sri Lanka. Along these lines, the point of reference was additionally not to support them.

Out of the blue, Pakistan got off to a flying begin when they started their run pursue in the last minutes on Day Three. In eight overs, they oversaw 37 without a misfortune as Imam-ul-Haq, with his pounding strokeplay, put the guests on the backfoot. The begin influenced everybody to trust that Pakistan had a possibility. It was only not to be.

Five overs early in the day session on Day Four, a best request crumple unfurled. In a range of five balls, Ajaz Patel and Ish Sodhi represented the wickets of Imam and Mohammad Hafeez. Two balls later, Haris Sohail gave a catch back to Sodhi. While Imam's rejection can be credited to flawless rocking the bowling alley, as a result of which Patel got his lady five-wicket pull on his Test introduction and won the man-of-the-coordinate honor, the expulsions of Hafeez and Sohail were as delicate as they could have been.

A 82-run organization between Azhar Ali and Asad Shafiq shriveled the tempest. Yet, another crumple was approaching which fixed Pakistan's destiny. With only 29 runs remaining and six wickets close by, a misunderstanding among Azhar and Babar Azam prompted the last getting run out and starting there Pakistan lost their outstanding wickets for only 24 runs.

"It is exceptionally frustrating," Sarfraz said remembering Pakistan's fall in the pursuit. "The manner in which we began off yesterday made us feel that we will have the capacity to pursue down the objective. We lost three wickets today, at that point there was an association and after that once more, we lost wickets. A batsman needs to invest energy in this wicket. There has been a pattern, of the two groups, losing wickets in clusters. We ought to have pursued it down. It is for sure extremely frustrating.

"I think our group was not ready to deal with the weight. Babar Azam's run out, when 40 runs were left in the pursuit, can be named as the defining moment as it started the crumple."

There were inquiries regarding the course of action for the day. Normally, such an execution merits such questions. Notwithstanding Pakistan turning into a standard in pulling off such crumples, this one dazed everybody.

"The message for the batsmen was to keep playing positive cricket like we had the most recent day," Sarfraz said. "Our expulsions have been delicate as a result of which are harming us. This is the thing that we should take a gander at as a batting unit. Our batsmen have taken begins yet haven't possessed the capacity to draw out their innings.

Crediting New Zealand for knocking down some pins well on the most recent day, he included: "The conduct of the Abu Dhabi pitch has changed throughout the years and now there's a considerable measure of turn on offer here. Credit goes to Ajaz Patel the manner in which he played on it."

The second of the three-coordinate Test arrangement starts on Saturday in Dubai. Furthermore, after such a discouraging thrashing it stays to be perceived how Pakistan will ricochet back. "Obviously, the outcome is disillusioning. We had the match in our control, yet we released it. We will endeavor to overlook what has occurred and center around what's straightaway."
