Big-hitting Colin de Grandhomme blasted New Zealand to a five-wicket win over Pakistan in the fourth one-day international in Hamilton. “Everything just seemed to be hitting the middle tonight,” said de Grandhomme, whose innings included five sixes and seven fours. Sarfraz Ahmed, Pakistan’s captain, also paid tribute to de Grandhomme’s knock. Teenage leg-spinner Shadab Khan then claimed three of New Zealand’s top four batsmen to give Pakistan some hope before de Grandhomme’s match-turning performance. New Zealand set about the run chase with gusto as opener Colin Munro brought up his half century off 33 balls.
