In Short
Colin de Grandhomme blazed an unbeaten 74 from 40 balls to help steer the BLACKCAPS to their 263 run target in the fourth ODI at Seddon Park in Hamilton.
Colin Munro and Henry Nicholls (52*) both made vital half-centuries as the BLACKCAPS chalked up a record 11th straight victory - the most consecutive wins by a Zealand team ever.
As it happened...

His first ODI 50 coming from just 25 balls and right when his team needed him! Equation now 36 runs from 8 overs with 5 wickets, Nicholls is 41* #NZvPAK pic.twitter.com/nvuQZ9PDOY
Colin de Grandhomme going like a train! He’s 41 off 15 balls & cutting the required rate below run-a-ball! 57 more needed in final 10 overs #NZvPAK pic.twitter.com/Mw4jJnIlcx

WOW - what a catch on the very edge of the boundary by Rumman Raees to dismiss Williamson for 32. Sohail has his 1st wicket. De Grandhomme joins Nicholls (23*) at 154-5. 109 needed from 90 balls #NZvPAK pic.twitter.com/ddKvnvMu32

Patient 50-run stand by Williamson (31*) and Nicholls (22*) who have weathered the storm after 4 swift wickets. Big final 15 or so overs coming up with 110 more needed #NZvPAK pic.twitter.com/gWuCHcxbXV
