Get ready for an exciting clash as New Zealand (NZ) takes on Pakistan (PAK) in the third T20I of the Pakistan tour of New Zealand 2024 at the University Oval in Dunedin. This encounter is part of a five-match T20I series scheduled in New Zealand, with the hosts currently leading 2-0. In the previous encounter, New Zealand secured a 21-run victory in the 2nd T20I.

Opting to bowl after winning the toss, Pakistan faced a formidable New Zealand batting lineup. The top-order duo of Devon Conway and Kane Williamson laid a solid foundation with a 59-run partnership before Conway fell victim to Aamer Jamal. Unfortunately, Williamson, who contributed 26 runs, retired hurt due to a hamstring strain. Finn Allen and Daryl Mitchell added valuable runs, with Mitchell Santner scoring 25 in the end. New Zealand posted a challenging total of 194 runs for the loss of 8 wickets in 20 overs. Haris Rauf and Abbas Afridi were pivotal in taking crucial wickets for Pakistan.

In response, Pakistan's openers, Saim Ayub and Mohammad Rizwan, fell early to the pace duo of Tim Southee and Adam Milne. However, Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman orchestrated a resilient 87-run partnership. Despite Fakhar Zaman's dismissal by Milne and Babar Azam's impressive 66 runs, wickets tumbled in quick succession. Shaheen Afridi's late efforts with the bat weren't enough, and Pakistan was eventually all out for 173 runs in 19 overs. Tim Southee and Adam Milne played crucial roles in dismantling the Pakistan batting order.
