Dunedin: New Zealand has set a formidable 205-run target for Pakistan in the must-win third T20I of the series at the University Oval, Dunedin.
Batting first, the Black Caps delivered a power-packed performance, with key contributions from Finn Allen and Glenn Phillips. Allen’s explosive start gave New Zealand the momentum, while Phillips anchored the innings with a blistering half-century. Pakistan’s bowlers, despite initial breakthroughs, struggled to contain the aggressive Kiwi batters.
Pakistan now faces a challenging chase to keep the series alive, requiring a strong effort from their top-order batters. Can Babar Azam and his men rise to the occasion, or will New Zealand seal the series?
