allekele :Pakistan paid heavily for butterfingered Kamran Akmal's mistakes as birthday boy Ross Taylor smashed a whirlwind unbeaten century to power New Zealand to an impressive 302 for seven in their group A match.
Handed a life when he was on zero by wicket-keeper Kamran, Taylor toyed with the Pakistani bowlers towards the end and in Jacob Oram's company piled up a mammoth 114 runs in the final six overs.
Adopting a cautious approach in the beginning, Taylor, who survived two chances, exploded in the final stages of the innings and remained unbeaten on 131 runs that came off just 124 balls.
Utilising most of the opportunity, he showed scant respect to the Pakistani bowlers and struck as many as eight fours and seven sixes during his fiery innings.
