Jesse Ryder flicked, stroked and bludgeoned his way to his second one-day international century to anchor New Zealand`s 311 for seven in the sixth and final match against Pakistan at Eden Park on Saturday.
Scott Styris and Nathan McCullum also scored half centuries to give New Zealand`s bowlers a chance to defend on a good batting wicket with short boundaries.
Ryder, who was struggling with a leg injury and needed a runner for the latter part of his innings, blazed his way to his first 50 runs off 34 balls before the Pakistani bowlers restricted New Zealand through the middle overs.
The 26-year-old Ryder still managed to bring up his century off 82 balls with a flick off his hip to fine leg for his seventh boundary. He also smashed six sixes into the stands.
