New Zealand v Pakistan 5th ODI Match Report
Shehzad made 115 from 109 balls as Pakistan secured a 41-run win in the fifth one-day international.

Shehzad hit 12 boundaries on his way to 115 runs

Pakistan posted 268-9 in their 50 overs after being sent in to bat on a slow pitch in Hamilton.

Stand-in captain Ross Taylor top-scored for New Zealand with 69 as his side were dismissed for 227 in 46.5 overs.

Pakistan lead 3-1 with one match to play in the series, in Auckland on 5 February.

Pakistan lost the toss and, after being put in to bat, lost their first wicket for 20 runs, Mohammad Hafeez caught by Nathan McCullum off a Kyle Mills delivery in the seventh over.
But they quickly recovered thanks to a 53-run stand between Kamran Akmal and Shehzad, who hit seven boundaries and a six to reach his maiden one-day 50.

After Akmal was run out off a direct hit, Shehzad mounted further stands with Younus Khan and Misbah-ul-Haq.

Shehzad reached his 100 with a six off Hamish Bennett and a single off Jacob Oram, before he was caught by James Franklin off a Scott Styris delivery.

New Zealand's immediate response was dismal, with opener Jesse Ryder run out at the non-striker's end off the very first delivery of the innings.

But opening partner Martin Guptill hit 65 off 70 balls, while Taylor attempted a rescue act with 69 in the middle overs.

However, Wahab Riaz claimed three wickets and Shahid Afridi and Umar Gul two apiece, finishing off New Zealand for 227 and securing the series for Pakistan.

"We've had to wait a long time for Pakistan to win a series but it's come at the right time, just before the World Cup," said Afridi, Pakistan's current one-day captain.

The one-day victory follows Pakistan's 1-0 triumph in the Test series in New Zealand in January.

NZ v Pak 5th ODI Presentation Ceremony

Shehzad is the MoM for his maiden ODI hundred

Shehzad: I am very happy with the performance. This was my first knock over fifty in international cricket and I am happy that I contributed to the team. I hope to continue with my good form till the World Cup.

Afridi: The boys are very happy that we have won a series after so long. Shehzad was outstanding and we were on target to get 300. However, the wicket was slow and it was quite difficult for stroke making with the old ball. Hafeez is the best all-rounder in my team currently. Riaz, Gul and Akhtar bowled well. We have worked really hard on our fielding and it has reaped good results.

Taylor: We were happy to restrict Pakistan to 268. Mills and the bowlers bowled really well at the end. We lost too many wickets in the middle session and the way Pakistan bowled well at the end was outstanding. Shehzad showed us how to bat on this wicket. We are disappointed at losing the series but we will hope to gain momentum by winning the last match at Auckland
