Lahore, Dec 01: Paceman Mohammad Sami rocked New Zealand with five wickets in 11 deliveries in Pakistan's convincing 124-run victory in the second one-day cricket international here today. Sami, the 22-year-old right-arm paceman, skittled through the Kiwi tail with career-best five wickets for 10 runs as the tourists collapsed to 157 in 38.5 overs in reply to Pakistan's healthy total of 281 for six off 50 overs.
Jacob Oram, debutante Tamma Canning, Paul Hitchcock and Brendon McCullum all were bowled by Sami's rocketing pace while Daniel Vettori offered a dolly catch.
Opener Richard Jones top scored for the tourists with his slow 63 off 110 balls before Sami returned for his second spell and wrapped up the innings in quick time. He claimed four wickets in his seventh over without conceding a run and then finished the match by clean bowling McCullum in his next over.
New Zealand, which made 291 in the first game before losing the high-scoring thriller by three wickets last Saturday, never looked to threaten Pakistan's total once Chris Cairns was run out in the 28th over for 29.
Jones and Cairns were involved in a 69-run fourth wicket partnership off 79 balls before Cairns was run out.
Jones' departure in the 36th over triggered the collapse as New Zealand lost its last six wickets for just two runs.
Earlier, Saleem Elahi returned to international cricket with a half century and Abdul Razzaq once again played an explosive knock of unbeaten 42 off 16 balls after stand-in captain Yousuf Youhana won the toss and elected to bat. Bureau Report
