Matt Henry's five-wicket haul has handed New Zealand a 3-2 series win over Pakistan, as the Kiwis grabbed a 68-run victory in the final one-day game in the United Arab Emirates.
Earlier in the day Kane Williamson produced a fine display of batting before falling three short of a century in order to help New Zealand to a total of 275-4 from 50 overs, with a little help coming from an attack-minded Ross Taylor who notched 88.
Henry's onslaught began in the first over of the Pakistan innings as he trapped Nasir Jamshed lbw after just five balls were bowled, before returning to take the important top-order wickets of Younis Khan and Ahmed Shehzad.
The only form of resistance for the home side came through Haris Sohail, who top-scored with a hard-fought 65, but it wasn't enough as Henry returned to take the wickets of Shahid Afridi and Sarfraz Ahmed and send Pakistan to defeat.
