PAK vs NZ LIVE Score – PAK NZ 3rd ODI LIVE: Pakistan batting first: Pakistan have lost quick wickets with Muhammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman departing in quick succession.

Shan Masood and Babar Azam departed in quick succession early in the powerplay as Pakistan were off to a rocky start. Lockie Ferguson struck early to remove Shan Masood. The Pak vice-captain was dismissed for a two-ball duck. But Fakhar with a half-century has steadied the ship alongside Rizwan. Follow PAK vs NZ Live Updates with InsideSport.IN.

It’s New year, but Pakistan’s middle-order woes continue to haunt them. In a not-so-steep run-chase of 261, Pakistan batters stumbled and were shot down for just 182. The middle-order batters Rizwan, Haris Sohail, Agha Salman, and Nawaz failed to take the team home after Babar Azam set the platform with a solid 79. The lack of consistent contributions from middle-order batters is now hurting Pakistan more so in run chases.
New Zealand have exploited that in the second ODI and will look to inflict more damage in the third ODI. The Kiwis bounced back well and put on a complete performance with bat and ball. Ish Sodhi, Devon Conway, and Ferguson chipped in vital contributions.

PAK vs NZ Pitch Report
The match will be played in Karachi. The pitch out here is good for batting and stays true to its nature. But with two ODIs being played here, the pitch will be drier. Chasing might be a difficult option.
