Pakistan batsmen Ahmed Shehzad and Haris Sohail completed a fifty-run partnership for the fourth wicket in the fifth and final One-Day International (ODI) against New Zealand at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Friday. Shehzad and Sohail were batting on scores of 49 and 23, with Pakistan scoring 94 for the loss of three wickets at the end of 26 overs, needing another 182 to win from 144 balls.
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.
