Notes
--> DK Morrison made his last appearance in ODI matches
--> Saeed Anwar passed 4000 runs in ODI matches when he reached 54

SB Doull left the field after straining a hamstring in the 2nd over of the Pakistan innings. NJ Astle completed the over.
After much confusion, it was established that New Zealand qualified for the final based on preliminary match results against Sri Lanka.
