Kane Williamson won the toss and surprisingly chose to bat first at the National Bank Cricket Arena in Karachi. Naseem Shah, who took five wickets in the first ODI, gave Pakistan a flying start with Finn Allen's wicket on the inning's fifth delivery.

But Williamson and Devon Conway pulled off a brilliant 181-run partnership for the second wicket to put Kiwis on a track for a big total. Conway continued his red-hot form with his third ODI hundred as he scored 101 runs off 92 balls before getting bowled by Naseem in the 30th over.

Mohammad Nawaz dominated the last few overs with four wickets to bowl out New Zealand to just 261 runs from 49.5 overs. Naseem took three wickets while Haris Rauf and Usama Mir grabbed one each for Pakistan.

While chasing, Pakistan lost both openers Imam-ul-Haq and Fakhar Zaman in the first four overs with just nine runs on the scoreboard. But the star duo of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan put in a crucial 55-run partnership for the third wicket to keep Pakistan alive.

However, Mitchell Santner bowled out Rizwan in the 20th over and then the hosts lost the wickets at a regular pace.
