TOSS - New Zealand have won the toss and will BOWL first.

Hello and welcome everyone to the third match between Pakistan and New Zealand. The home team kicked off the series with a convincing win. The rain affected the first game but we saw some inspiring bowling from Pakistan's front line pacers. Shah, Afridi and Amir were on a roll as they rattled the Kiwis under 100. The spinners too were brilliant in the middle phase. New Zealand on the other hand were not able to handle the heat as their inexperienced batting took some beating. The Kiwis need to come up with a better performance if they are to level the series. Pakistan though will look to double their lead. Let's see how it goes. Stay tuned.

... MATCH DAY ...

After a dominating victory over the Kiwis, Pakistan would be eyeing to build on that positive momentum as they take on New Zealand in the game no. 3 of this 5-match T20I series. Pakistan dominated the proceedings in the first game with their seamers running riots on the Kiwi batters and the Batting unit doing the rest by chasing down 90 without any hiccups. The return of Mohammad Amir was pleasing to the eyes of many as he grabbed a couple while Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah paired well to break through the batting unit of the visitors. Babar Azam would have been delighted with the performances of Abrar Ahmed and Shadab Khan as well. It was a complete team effort from Pakistan in the first game and they would be looking to try out some different combinations this time around and still maintain that winning momentum. The Kiwis on the other hand led by Michael Bracewell had the worst possible outing with the bat and were bundled out inside 20 overs. No batter was able to reach even the 20-run mark for them and the batter had no answer to the quality bowling unit of Pakistan. Tim Seifert, Mark Chapman, Cole McConchie and Dean Foxcroft were the only batters to get into the double-figure mark while the others failed to reach even that. The bowling from New Zealand was not that bad as the bowlers bowled well but they did not have anywhere near enough to put up a fight with the ball. The side would be looking to try out their bench and test them as well against this quality Pakistan bowling unit but the main aim would be to level the series. Expect a much better contest this time around as these two sides gear up for round three of this series.
