Black Caps looked in a spot of bother at one stage when they lost four wickets in a hurry despite getting a flying start. The target of 263 runs in the fourth ODI at Hamilton posed a challenge for the hosts.Kiwis Skipper Kane Williamson and Henry Nicholls steadied the innings but in that attempt, the required rate climbed up. As Williamson tried to up the ante, he perished and out walked Colin de Grandhomme. With 109 runs required from 90 balls when he entered the middle, the middle order batsman and a handy add with the bat, blew Pakistan to smithereens to score 74 runs from 40 balls with seven boundaries and five sixes. The surface allowed for support to spin bowlers and Shadab Khan looked to have made merry early on. But for Grandhomme to turn the game upside down. With the 5 wicket win, New Zealand have taken a 4-0 lead in the five-match series and continued their winning run at home to 11 matches.

Fakhar Zaman, Sarfraz Ahmed, Mohammad Hafeez and Harris Sohail slammed half centuries as Pakistan reach 262/8 in 50 overs against New Zealand in the 4th ODI at Seddon Park in Hamilton on Tuesday. After losing the first three games, and thereby the series, Pakistan will look to restore some pride when they face New Zealand. In the previous ODI, Pakistan were handed a 183-run thrashing by the Kiwis, and the Sarfraz Ahmed-led side will be eager to some payback in Hamilton. New Zealand, on the other hand, will look to continue their winning run and move one step closer to complete a 5-0 series whitewash over the South Asian side
