    New Zealand captain Kane Williamson scored a timely century that helped his side score 299 runs with the loss 5 wickets in the fourth ODI against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.

    After winning the toss, Kiwi captain Kane Williamson opted to bat first on a good looking surface. The decision proved good when the openers started the inning very aggressively.

    After the solid start, Pakistani captain Shahid Afridi sent DG Brownlie to the pavilion who scored 42 runs. Martin Guptill followed his opening partner and went to the pavilion after scoring 58 runs. Taylor scored 26 runs with the help of 2 boundaries become the victim of Muhammad Irfan’s bowling in the Powerplay.

    Away side showed confidence on Test series hero Tom Latham and sent him in to the middle to support skipper. Tom Latham played a very handy role and scored 14 runs off 12 balls. Skipper Kane Williamson was the last man to dismiss scored a brilliant century.

    Pakistan leads the series 2-1, left out fast bowler Wahab Riaz and out of form Asad Shafiq and brought in all-rounder Anwar Ali and batsman Nasir Jamshed.
