Stop me if you've heard this scenario before. Pakistan jumps out to a first T20I win against New Zealand, and the Black Caps rebound with a win in the second showdown. Action moves to a five match ODI series. Pakistan again wins the first battle. What's next?
If you guessed that New Zealand once again showcased its resiliency in a bounce-back triumph, you'd be correct. The Kiwis evened the series at one win apiece on Friday morning, riding Kane Williamson's unbeaten 70 en route to a four-wicket margin of victory in Sharjah. The performance was Williamson's sixth ODI fifty in his last seven appearances.
Action remains in Sharjah for the third match, before moving to Abu Dhabi for installments four and five.
