Pakistan vs New Zealand, 3rd T20I: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Weather Forecast, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details

The third game of the five-match T20I series between Pakistan and New Zealand will take place at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Pakistan currently lead the series 2-0.

After electing to bat first in the second T20I, Pakistan posted a mammoth 192 on the board, thanks to a fifty from Mohammed Rizwan and a fantastic unbeaten 58-ball 101 from skipper Babar Azam. He hit 11 fours and three maximums. The visitors picked up four wickets in total, with Matt Henry finishing with two.

In reply, Mark Chapman remained unbeaten on 65 but the other batters failed to step up. They lost wickets at regular intervals and finished their innings on 154/7 to lose the game by 38 runs. Haris Rauf continued his brilliant form with the ball as he broke the back of New Zealand’s batting lineup and grabbed four wickets.

Pakistan have won the first two games and are on the verge of winning the series. They are high on confidence and will be looking to seal the series on Monday itself. The Kiwis were outplayed in both games and will have to bring their A-game to keep the series alive.
