NZ thumps Pakistan ahead of World Cup
Print Edition
NEW Zealand made an emphatic statement of form yesterday in its last official limited-overs international before the Cricket World Cup, compiling 369-5 on its way to a crushing 119-run win over Pakistan for a sweep of their two-match series.
Kane Williamson made 112 from 88 balls and Ross Taylor an unbeaten 102 from 70 deliveries after New Zealand won the toss and took full advantage of a pristine batting pitch at McLean Park — a World Cup venue — in Napier. Pakistan crumbled in the face of the express pace of Adam Milne, who took 2-52, the less threatening medium slow offerings of Grant Elliott who took 2-35 and the part-time spin of Nathan McCullum (2-33). New Zealand won the first ODI on Saturday by seven wickets and its win follows it 4-2 series victory over Sri Lanka, its first World Cup opponent.
