Pakistan fast bowler Haris Rauf was forced to leave the field during the opening match of the tri-nation series at the newly revamped Gaddafi Stadium due to pain in his ribs.
Rauf, who was bowling his seventh over, began to experience discomfort, which led to his early departure.
Following his exit, Salman Ali Agha took over the remainder of the over.
Despite the setback, New Zealand managed to recover, losing five wickets during the innings.
Contributions from Kane Williamson and Daryl Mitchell, both of whom scored fifties, enabled the visitors to set a competitive total for the hosts.
