New Zealand beat Pakistan by 183 runs | New Zealand Vs Pakistan 3rd ODI match

That's all we have from this game. It's going all downhill for the Asian side and it would require something spectacular from them if they are to win at least a game on this series. New Zealand now can test their bench strength since they have already got the hands on the trophy. Will we see Pakistan managing a win or will the plot remain the same in Hamilton? Join us on 16th January, 2018 at 1400 Local (0100 GMT) to catch all the action. Till then, goodbye and cheers!
New Zealand skipper, Kane Williamson is elated with the show. Feels the surface was a bit tricky but still wasn't that bad to bat on. Adds Trent Boult has been fabulous throughout the series. At the halfway break they had a talk that they have good amount of runs in the bank, it's all about bowling and exceuting the plans. Is happy that his batters spent time in the middle and stitched valuable partnerships. Hopes to carry on the good show and informs their focus to win each and every game.
Pakistan skipper, Sarfraz Ahmed is really disappointed with the loss. Adds this is a tough loss for them to gulp. Admits his bowlers did a fine job but their batting flopped again. Hopes to sort out the issue with the new ball and not loss too many wickets in the first ten overs.
Man of the Match, Trent Boult is really delighted with his performance but feels it was a collective effort on their part to win the game. Feels it was quite windy out there and he let it go aggressively as he could. Adds they wanted to seal the series today and knew that 250 was always good to seal the fate.
The fact that no. 11 is your highest scorer should tell you how poor the batting was from the Asian side. If it wasn't for Amir and Raees' fun in the middle, their side would have faced even more embarrassing. Stay with us as we bring you the presentation...
A shambolic batting performance by Pakistan or deadly bowling display from the Kiwis? It's for you all to think that. Well, it was yet another dismal show from Pakistan as they surrendered meekly to give New Zealand the series. Yes, agreed that 258 was tough on this kind of a wicket but getting bundled out for a paltry 74 is not acceptable at all. The chase got over inside the first 10 overs when Pakistan were reduced to 9/3. Trent Boult was breathing fire and then the rest just came and continued to chip away at the wickets.

Pakistan have not had a pleasant start to 2018 losing the ODI series against New Zealand. Although the first two ODIs were marred by rains, it did not provide any assistance to Pakistan. New Zealand won both the ODIs through DLS method with much ease. Kane Williamson starred with his 10th ODI century while Martin Guptill thrashed Pakistan in the second ODI.

Although Pakistan gave a stiff fight in the second through Hasan Ali's maiden fifty and Mohammad Hafeez's early start as well, the rains reduced the overs to 25 overs revising the target to 155. The third ODI will be held at Dunedin.

New Zealand and Pakistan have not played a single ODI at Dunedin. New Zealand, however, have the experience of playing here and the records favour them as well. The first ODI match was played in 2010 against Bangladesh that New Zealand won by 5 wickets. Since, New Zealand won the matches against Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka and Scotland in this venue.
