NZ vs Pak, 2nd ODI at Napier: Kane Williamson scores sixth ODI century
NZ vs Pak: Williamson scores 6th ODI century
Kane Williamson scores his sixth One-Day International (ODI) in the second game against Pakistan at Napier. Williamson came in at No. 3 when skipper Brendon McCullum was dismissed for 31, bowled by Shahid Afridi. Williamson has looked in great nick ever since he came on to bat in the eighth over. Williamson got to his half-century off just 42 balls.
Williamson put on a 128-run partnership for the scond wicket along with opener Martin Guptill, before the latter was dismissed for 76. Ross Taylor, who scored a match-winning half-century in the first ODI is supporting Williamson at the other end and have now put New Zealand in a position from where they can get a huge score.
Earlier New Zealand had won the toss and elected to bat first. New Zealand got back Williamson, Tim Southee and Daniel Vettori back in the their side and Pakistan have changed an unchanged side from the first ODI at Wellington. New Zealand had won the first ODI at Wellington by seven wickets. This is the last match either team will play ahead of ICC World Cup 2015, which starts on February 14.
