Pakistan had to think on their feet as to replacing Haris Rauf, who suffered a blow on his helmet and there were after-effects. The physios tended to him for a few minutes before it was decided to bring in a concussion substitute.<\/p>\n<p>Shah wasn&#8217;t part of the side for the second ODI but justified his inclusion with a 41-ball fifty, his maiden in the format.

In fact, with Shah at the second spot, the top three is occupied by Pakistan players with Shoaib Akhtar being in the second position previously with a 16-ball 43 against England.<\/p>\n<p>The highest score by a No 11 batter previously against New Zealand in ODIs was an unbeaten 42\u00a0by South Africa&#8217;s Makhaya Ntini, 21 years ago.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Highest score for a No 11 batter in ODIs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>58 (28) &#8211; Mohammad Amir (PAK vs ENG), Nottingham 2016<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n51 (44) &#8211; Naseem Shah (PAK vs NZ), Hamilton 2025<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n43 (16) &#8211; Shoaib Akhtar (PAK vs ENG), Cape Town 2003<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n42* (35) &#8211; Makhaya Ntini (SA vs NZ), Napier 2004<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n37 (29) &#8211; Joel Garner (WI vs IND), Manchester 1983<\/p>\n<p>Shah&#8217;s knock while supporting a bit-hitting <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/topic\/faheem-ashraf\" rel=\"noopener\">Faheem Ashraf<\/a> provided some respectability to the score, Pakistan&#8217;s full-strength side continued to struggle against the Kiwis in New Zealand.
