New Zealand inflicted a rare 5-0 One-Day International (ODI) series whitewash over Pakistan on Friday with a 15-run win at Wellington's Basin Reserve. New Zealand have won by a 5-0 margin only once before, when they hosted the West Indies in 2000. The target should have been achievable, given the short boundaries at the Basin Reserve, but speedster Matt Henry ensured Pakistan made a disastrous start. Earlier, Guptill scored his 13th ODI century, combining with Colin Munro to give the hosts a flying start before Rumman Raees helped spark a mini-collapse, taking three for 67. It gave his innings greater urgency and he brought up his century off 125 balls, including 10 fours and a six.
