Earlier, New Zealand were asked to bat first after losing the toss against Pakistan. The Kiwis started well, adding 39 runs for the first wicket before two quick wickets jolted their innings.

After losing the third wicket for less than 100 runs, Latham and Young joined forces. The duo added 118 runs for the fourth wicket before Young was dismissed.

Latham was then joined by Glenn Phillips and they added 125 runs for the fifth wicket and took New Zealand past 300 - something which looked distant till the end of 40th over.

Phillips was the last batter to get out but not before hitting 61 off 39 balls - falling four runs short of completing 1,000 ODI runs.

For Pakistan, Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf picked two wickets each while spinner Abrar Ahmed chipped in with one wicket.
