SHARJAH, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Captain Kane Williamson smashed an unbeaten half century and fast bowler Matt Henry grabbed 4-45 as New Zealand defeated Pakistan by four wickets in the second one-day international to level the five-match series 1-1 on Friday.
Williamson held the innings together with an unbeaten 70 off 91 balls as New Zealand reached 255-6 with four overs to spare for its maiden victory against Pakistan in 11 ODIs at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
Henry’s four-wicket haul had earlier dismissed Pakistan for 252 with Mohammad Hafeez top-scoring with 76.
Anton Devcich (58) and Dean Brownlie (47) laid a solid foundation of 103-run opening stand and later Williamson stood firm despite Pakistan hitting back briefly through left-arm spinner Haris Sohail’s 3-48.
The third match of the series will be played at the same venue on Sunday.
