Match Ended   
243/5 (45.2/50)
242 (49.3/50)
New Zealand beat Pakistan by 5 wickets
Right then, that is it from this ODI and Tri-Nation Series as well where New Zealand won all three matches. The trophy is now being handed over to the Kiw skipper, Mitch Santner, who joins his teammates to lift it together and pose for some pictures. Now, these two sides will meet again in the curtain-raiser of the 2025 Champions Trophy on 19th February, Wednesday. The first ball will be bowled at 9 am GMT, but as you know, you can join us early for all the build-up to the match. Until then, cheers and goodbye!
Mitch Santner, the victorious skipper of New Zealand says that they ticked all the boxes before the Champions Trophy and different people stepped up and different times, for the team. Adds that the pitch was a little bit slower than they thought and was two-paced. Mentions that they tried to build pressure and take wickets up top and that would make it easier for the other guys to do the remaining job. Says that the powerplay is the best time to bat and get wickets and restricting runs in that phase is crucial. Concludes by saying that it is nice to have different guys firing before the tournament.
Muhammad Rizwan, the captain of Pakistan says they elected to bat first because they thought the pitch would play slowly in the second innings and it was like that but credit goes to Kiwi bowlers. Adds that they lost three wickets in the Powerplay and they were looking at something around 280 at first but then Santner and Bracewell bowled brilliantly, and they had to adjust and in the end, 10-15 runs more could have changed things. Mentions that he and Salman had to build a partnership, but he lost his wicket at the wrong time. Says they need to improve their fielding a lot, but Abrar has done well in recent times and looks like the best fielder in the side. Ends by saying that they will now need to learn from this and focus on the Champions Trophy.
Muhammad Salman Ali PLAYER OF THE SERIES for his all-around performance. He says he feels nice for the way he performed but isn't happy that the side couldn't win the game. Mentions that this is how the pitch will play here is Karachi and could be the case going ahead. Says it was a challenging wicket and his wicket came at the wrong time, or a total beyond 280-290 runs would have been a different game altogether.
Will O’Rourke is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his excellent blowing display. He says that there was a nice breeze blowing across and that helped him push it across the left-handers. Adds that the wicket was a bit two-paced and he tried to whack it into the wicket and got different results. Says that it was holding a bit onto the surface. Mentions that the boys have been playing nicely and would like to take this momentum into the Champions Trophy.
Presentation Time...
Pakistan will be gutted with their bowling and fielding effort! Naseem Shah struck early and returned for another, while Muhammad Salman Ali and Abrar Ahmed chipped in, but they never built sustained pressure. The real damage, though, came in the field - too many dropped catches and sloppy moments proved costly. They’ll need to fix these issues fast before the bigger challenges ahead.
Earlier in the game, Pakistan put up a somewhat fighting total, thanks to solid knocks from Muhammad Rizwan and Muhammad Salman Ali, along with some late fireworks from the lower order. But New Zealand’s bowlers were on fire! The skipper led from the front with a brilliant spell, Michael Bracewell matched his impact, and Will O’Rourke stole the show with a superb four-wicket haul. Nathan Smith and Jacob Duffy chipped in as well, ensuring Pakistan never got out of hand.
New Zealand made light work of the chase despite an early setback! Kane Williamson and Devon Conway laid a solid foundation before Tom Latham and Daryl Mitchell took control, steering the ship with confidence. Mitchell’s fifty was vital, but he fell before the finish, as did Latham after a charmed knock. In the end, it was only fitting that Glenn Phillips, the star of the first game, sealed the deal or the Kiwis.
New Zealand reigns supreme in the Tri-Nation Series! They've been class apart, outplaying their opponents with dominance and flair. If this was a Champions Trophy audition, they've passed with flying colors and look like serious contenders. As for Pakistan, it's a reality check - plenty to fix before the big stage arrives!

Drinks! With 98 runs needed in 102 balls, the match remains evenly poised, but New Zealand’s steady partnership has given them a slight advantage at this stage. While Pakistan have created chances, their inability to capitalize on them might come back to haunt them later. Run-scoring hasn’t been easy, and with no real signs of dew yet, the Kiwis will be hoping conditions ease up a bit. Pakistan, on the other hand, need a breakthrough soon to shift the momentum back in their favour. A crucial phase of play awaits!

Drinks! New Zealand have done the build-up work pretty well after losing an early wicket, in the form of Kane Williamson and Devon Conway. They have put on 67 runs for the second wicket. Although a couple of short chances have gone begging early on but that hasn't shaken the run-scoring, getting in those singles and doubles and an odd boundary at regular intervals. The target at this point for the New Zealand batters seems like a walk in the park. The only way Pakistan can pull this game back in their favour is by starting to take wickets and not letting the New Zealand batters settle in and then to set it off, Pakistan needs to break this partnership first and then keep taking wickets at regular intervals to make a game out of it. Dew is going to be a major factor and New Zealand will look to take full advantage and run towards the target rapidly!

Naseem Shah To Will Young OUT!
OUT! LBW! Naseem Shah draws first blood! A massive appeal from the entire stadium, and up goes the finger! However, Shah does not look that confident here. He bowls this one on a hard length and on middle, nips back in sharply. Will Young hops up to work it away but misses and gets hit high on the pads. It looks to be going over. UltraEdge confirms no bat involved and Ball Tracking shows it to just clipping the top of the leg stump and turns out to be 'Umpire's call'. Young is not happy but has to walk back. The crowd is ecstatic!
