Pakistan lost their sixth wicket with 172 runs on the board as Haris Sohail was bowled off the bowling of Mitchell McClenaghan to depart on a score of 65 from 74 balls. The wicket helped bring an end to a dangerous-looking partnership between Sohai and Sarfraz Ahmed worth 57 runs, which was threatening to take the game away from the visitors. The dismissal came about when Sohail tried to make room for himself while attempting to play a full-pitched delivery towards the off-side, but missing the line of the ball completely.
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.
