NZ VS PAK DREAM11 TEAM | PAKISTAN VS NEW ZEALAND 3RD ODI
It’s the series decider between Pakistan and New Zealand!
Pakistan put an all-around show on Friday to draw the series level and also put an end to the 12-match losing streak against New Zealand. They were better in all three departments of the game than their touring counterparts and would want to repeat the performance in the series decider on Sunday.
New Zealand, on the other hand, could not put up a par score on the board batting first. With the ball, they were found wanting as well after Pakistan batsmen nullified their Plan A, and no Plan B meant quite a bit of damage. Pakistan, never troubled in the chase, crossed the line in a little over 40 overs. For Blackcaps, they must put on a stronger performance to stop redeemed Pakistan.
