**Hamilton, New Zealand** – New Zealand completed a dominant 2-0 victory over Pakistan in their three-match One Day International (ODI) series on Wednesday. Following a 73-run win in the first match, the Kiwis secured a comfortable 84-run victory in the second ODI at Hamilton. New Zealand posted a challenging 292 runs, restricting Pakistan to 208 in response. Ben Sears’ maiden five-wicket haul was a key contribution to the New Zealand win. A 60-run partnership between Pakistan’s Faheem Ashraf (73) and Naseem Shah (51) offered some late resistance, but it proved insufficient to prevent the defeat. The final ODI will be played on April 5th in a dead rubber. This victory follows New Zealand’s earlier 4-1 T20I series win against Pakistan.
