New Zealand secured a dominant 84-run victory over Pakistan, taking a 2-0 lead in the ODI series. Mitchell Hay’s unbeaten 99 powered New Zealand to 292/8, while Pakistan collapsed to 208.

Pakistan has been penalized for a slow over-rate against New Zealand in their second one-day international in Hamilton this week. Match referee Jeff Crowe fined the Pakistan players 5% of their match fees after they were one over short of the target on Wednesday after the time allowances were taken into consideration.

This is the second consecutive instance when Pakistan have been fined for a slow over-rate. In the first ODI against New Zealand in Napier, which the visitors lost by 73 runs, the team was found to be two overs short of the target after time allowances were considered.
