Pakistan scores a resounding win

LAHORE APRIL 28. Young all-rounder Shoaib Malik led Pakistan to a resounding 66-run win over New Zealand on Saturday to sweep a series of three one-day Internationals.

The 20-year-old hit a career-best 115 in Pakistan's impressive effort of 278 for five and then sliced through the Kiwi batting line-up with three for 37 to dismiss the tourists for 212 in 45.4 overs.

New Zealand's chances of avoiding a whitewash faded once Abdul Razzaq broke the second-wicket stand of 64 runs between Matthew Horne and Craig McMillan within the first 15 overs of New Zealand's run-chase.

Malik claimed the wickets of Kiwi captain Stephen Fleming, Scott Styris and Andre Adams recording his best-ever bowling figures in 23 limited-overs games. Chris Harris prolonged the inevitable but was involved in two run-outs--Brooke Walker and Daryl Tuffey--before Sami trapped the left-hander leg before for 37 to finish with two for 42.
