Pakistan Vs New Zealand
The New Zealand cricket team on Friday beat Pakistan in the final match of the tri-nation ODI series by five wickets at the National Bank Stadium in Karachi.
Blackcaps easily achieved the target of 243 in 45.2 overs, defeating the host team by five wickets in the Pak vs NZ match.
In the final Pak vs NZ match, Will O’Rourke conquered four wickets from the green shirts while Daryl Mitchell and Tom Latham made half-centuries, letting the New Zealand team achieve their target with 28 balls to spare.
The beginning of New Zealand’s batting looked optimistic for Pakistani fans after Naseem Shah took two wickets for 43 runs in 8 overs.
The premature optimism, however, was put to rest by Kane Williamson’s partnership with Devon Conway, who made 71 runs.
While the left-arm fast bowler Shaheen Afridi along with Abrar Ahmed and Salman Ali Agha took 1 wicket each from the blackcaps.
Agha ended the Williamson’s dangerous partnership in the 18th over while Naseem Shah made Conway his victim after he had made 31-run partnership with Daryl Mitchell.
