New Zealand have finally come out on top over Pakistan, Winning the crucial final game of their five match One Day International series by 68 runs in Abu Dhabi. Stand in captain Kane Williamson's sparkling run of form continue in the series win. He was out three runs short of what would have been his second ton on the trot. Williamson now has 8 fifty plus scores in his last ten One Day International innings. Ross Taylor was the other main contributor to New Zealand's 275 runs total. He hit his second fifty plus score of the series with 88 not out.
For Pakistan it was a disappointing end for whats been pretty successful last three months of cricket in the middle-east. Today, they were once again frustrated by the in-form Matt Henry. The 23 year old bagged his maiden five-for and conceded just 30 runs. Ahmed Shehzad and Harris Sohail were the only batsman that put-up any sort of resistance, Making 54 and 65 respectively. Pakistan were eventually bowled all out for 207 and will now have six weeks off before they meet the Black Caps again in two final One Day Internationals in New Zealand before the World Cup kicks-off on February 14.
