Pakistan batsman Ahmed Shehzad was dismissed shortly after completing his ninth One-Day International (ODI) half-century during the final game of the five-match series against New Zealand at Abu Dhabi on Friday. Shehzad, who departed on a score of 54 from 81 balls, had added 69 runs for the fourth wicket with Harris Sohail for the fourth wicket. The dismissal came about when Shehzad chose to hand New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson a simple catch at mid-on to give Matt Henry his third wicket of the match.
New Zealand had earlier finished on a score of 275 for the loss of four wickets at the end of their quota of 50 overs, with Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor scoring 97 and 88 respectively to propel their side to a challenging total. Williamson fell short of scoring his second consecutive century by three runs, though he managed to complete 2,000 ODI runs during his innings. Mohammad Irfan was the pick among the Pakistan bowlers, taking two wickets for 62 runs.
