Pakistan take a 2-1 Lead in the best of six series.

NAPIER: Misbah-ul-haq ( 93 not out ) overcame the loss of late wickets to keep his cool and guide Pakistan to a 2 wicket victory over New Zealand in their fourth one day international match in Napier on 01 Feb 2011 and take a 2-1 Lead in the best of six series.Misbah had been coasting to the victory target while batting with Younus Khan ( 42 runs), was forced to take all the responsibility of getting his side home when Younus was run out in the 38th over.
Abdul Razzaq ( 23 runs ) managed to keep pace with the required run rate and while Razzaq was well caught by a hobbling Vettori, Misbah smashed 10 runs off two balls from Scott Styris and Sohail Tanvir (14) hit three boundaries off Tim Southee the next 49th over to see their side home.
