Pakistan vs New Zealand ODI series 2023: Babar Azam’s brilliant ton and late blitz from Shaheen Afridi helped Pakistan beat New Zealand by 102 runs in Karachi to take 4-0 lead in five-match PAK vs NZ ODI series 2023. Batting first, Pakistan scored 335 runs and in reply the Kiwis were bowled out for 232, with their skipper Tom Latham scoring the maximum 60 runs off 76 balls. Pakistan’s Shaheen Afridi, popularly known for his bowling prowess, showcased how good can be with the bat. The star pacer hammered NZ bowler Blair Tickner for 22 runs — three sixes and a boundary — in his 7-ball 23 not out as Pakistan plundered 94 runs in final 10 overs. The highlight of Shaheen’s fiery knock was him hitting the final ball of Pak’s innings for a monstrous six, into the stands.
