New Zealand set a target of 321 for the Green Shirts who failed to chase down despite some resistance.

Pakistan s Saud Shakeel was dismissed for 6 off 19 balls and Muhammad Rizwan following shortly for 3 after an excellent catch by Glenn Phillips. Babar Azam (64 off 90) and Fakhar Zaman (24 off 41) steadied the ship with a 47-run partnership. However, Fakhar’s dismissal in the next over shifted momentum.

Pakistan s chase was effectively sealed by New Zealand s bowlers though Salman Agha (42 off 28) and Khushdil Shah (69 off 49) provided some late resistance. Mitchell Santner and Will O’Rourke took key wickets.

Earlier, New Zealand posted 320/5 in 50 overs, anchored by a brilliant century from Will Young, who scored 107 off 113 balls.

Despite losing Devon Conway (10), Kane Williamson (1), and Daryl Mitchell (10) early, New Zealand recovered through Young and Latham s 118-run partnership for the fourth wicket.

Pakistan s Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf took two wickets each while Rauf conceded 83 runs in his 10 overs.
