BANGALORE (India) (AFP) - Yusuf Pathan hammered a career-best 123 off just 96 balls as India pulled off a thrilling five-wicket win in the fourth one-day international against New Zealand on Tuesday. The all-rounder clubbed seven fours and seven sixes on the way to his maiden one-day century to help the hosts overhaul New Zealands challenging 315-7 with seven balls to spare at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. The victory put India on course for a series whitewash over the Black Caps who trail 4-0 with one game remaining to be played in Chennai on Friday. Pathan clobbered the New Zealand attack with his aggressive innings, putting on 133 runs for the unfinished sixth wicket with Saurabh Tiwary (37 not out) after India had been reduced to 188-5 in the 34th over. Pathan also played a key role with the ball, grabbing three New Zealand wickets for 49 runs off nine overs. James Franklin top-scored for the Kiwis with a career-best 98 of 69 balls including 12 fours and three sixes.
