Karachi, Feb 14 (UNI) New Zealand asserted their dominance once again, comfortably chasing down Pakistan’s total of 242 to secure victory in the tri-nation series final on Friday.
With another clinical performance, the Kiwis have continued their impressive form ahead of the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy.
Pakistan’s batting woes persisted as they were bundled out for 242 after opting to bat first. The top-order failed to deliver, placing the burden on Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Agha in the middle overs. However, the duo struggled to build momentum as New Zealand’s disciplined bowling attack, spearheaded by William O’Rourke (4/43), restricted them effectively.
