Centurion Conway helps Kiwis level series 1-1.

KARACHI -- Brilliant display of bowling and a century from Devon Conway helped New Zealand beat Pakistan and level the threematch ODI series 1-1. Chasing the target of 262 runs at National Stadium Karachi on Wednesday, Pakistan lost both their opener at just 9 as Fakhar Zaman (0) and Imam-Ul-Huq (6) were dismissed by Tim Southee and Lockie Ferguson respectively.

Mitchell Santner broke the partnership by dismissing Rizwan for 28 at a total of 64 for 3. Babar Azam then held the one end but the wickets kept falling like nine pin balls from the other end. Haris Sohail joined the skipper but couldn't prolong his stay and at his personal score of just 10 runs, he was sent packing. Agha Salman tried to accelerate the run rate with his 22-ball 25 but he was run out by Glen Phillips at a total of 124. Mohammad Nawaz (3), Usama Mir (12) and Mohammad Wasim (10) Jnr also failed to make any impact. Babar Azam, who stayed at the wicket for long to score 79 off 114 balls, was stumped out at 182. Haris Rauf was the last man to depart at the same total. Earlier batting first after winning the toss, New Zealand posted 261 on the board with Devon Conway and Kane Williamson scoring hundred and fifty respectively. The duo provided 181-run stand to the Black Caps for the second wicket before they collapsed from 183- 1 to 220-7. Naseem Shah once again provided breakthrough in the first over...
