That's all from us here. Until next time, it's goodbye!
Babar: As a captain, it's very satisfying. Main thing is to be able to read situations. When I went in, we were trying to go six an over, seven an over. It's one of the best innings I've seen. 20-30 runs too many we conceded. But the way Fakhar built his innings, and the partnerships we had one after the other was key.
Latham: Daryl played a fantastic innings. Halfway mark we were pretty happy. Full credit to Fakhar, played an outstanding knock. That's the nature of cricket, happens (talking about the dropped catches). They were able to build partnership after partnership. Big tick in the batting department. Have done that well in the last couple of games. Wickets here tend to be flat. Have to create more chances in the middle phases.
Fakhar, Player of the Match: I try to take some time at the start in one-day cricket. Every player works hard on his game at this level. Same with me. If a team like NZ has dropped two catches, have to consider it as my lucky day. Rizwan told me to hang in there, and that he'll take the risks.
23:37 Local Time, 18:37 GMT, 00:07 IST: Fakhar finishes on 180 not out - his third consecutive ODI hundred, and a match-winning one! New Zealand dropped him twice today, the second of them being a regulation catch for Chapman. But he spilled the chance and Fakhar made the most of it. What a knock it was to guide Pakistan to their second highest successful chase in ODIs! He also had good support along the way, first from Babar Azam and then Mohammad Rizwan, both of whom chipped in with fifties and cashed in on a good pitch to bat on. So just like the first ODI, Daryl Mitchell's hundred has ended up in a losing effort. Pakistan made the chase of 337 look rather easy.
Matt Henry to Rizwan, 1 run, that's it! Pakistan take a 2-0 lead as they chase down 337 comfortably! Short of length outside off, Rizwan wraps it up with a dab down to third man
Matt Henry to Fakhar Zaman, 1 run, short ball, Fakhar pulls it to deep midwicket
