PAK vs NZ: New Zealand will lock horns against Pakistan in the 3rd ODI of the New Zealand tour of Pakistan, 2022-23 on Friday, January 13, 2023, at National Stadium, Karachi.
New Zealand bounced back stronger in the second ODI and levelled the series at 1-1. Opting to bat first, New Zealand bundled out for 361 runs in 49.5 overs. Devon Conway continued his good run of form and smacked a sensational century. Pakistan’s young gun Naseem Shah picked a three-wicket haul, while Mohammad Nawaz scalped four wickets while conceding just 38 runs in his 10 overs quota.
The Men in Green, in reply, fell 79 runs short of the target as Kiwis won the match by 79 runs. For Pakistan, Babar Azam scored a hard-fought half-century but due to no help from the other hand, the visitors faltered in the run-chase. For the Black Caps, Tim Southee and Ish Sodhi picked two wickets each while their other bowlers got one wicket apiece.
While New Zealand heads into the game as the favourites, they will be wary of Pakistan, who boast a fiery bowling lineup. A lot will ride on the shoulders of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan. With both teams eager to clinch a series, a cracking contest beckons in Karachi on Friday.
