The third and final T20I between New Zealand and Pakistan came to a thrilling finish in Napier, with Men in Green registering a win by four wickets and thus avoiding a series clean-sweep.
Chasing 174 to win, Pakistan got off to a solid start, with opening batsmen Mohammad Rizwan and Haider Ali adding 38 runs inside five overs. The partnership, however, didn’t last long as substitute fielder Daryl Mitchell grabbed a one-ha𒊎nded😼 stunner to send back Haider in the last over of the powerplay.
