Inn Break
Right then. That's it from the coverage of this game. We meet again on 20th April for the fourth T20I between the two sides. The first ball will be at 9.30 pm IST (4 pm GMT), but you can join us early for the build-up. Until then, take care and goodbye.
Tom Latham, the skipper of New Zealand wins the MAN OF THE MATCH award, for an outstanding effort with the blade. He starts by saying it is nice to get a win on the board. Mentions it was a great game of cricket and this match will only give confidence to the boys. Adds that the way they bowled in the Powerplay was outstanding. Informs that a T20I game is never over till the very end. States that the bowling group was fantastic. Praises Ish Sodhi and Rachin Ravindra who picked valuable wickets in the middle overs. Mentions that it is nice to contribute for the team, informs the wicket was a bit slow at the start. Mentions that he is really lucky to have some fantastic fielders in the side.
Babar Azam, the captian of Pakistan says that the total that we restricted them was decent but we couldn't capitalize on the Powerplay and that's what has cost the team. On Iftikhar coming down at 8 he says that the batting order is flexible and the way he batted so low in the order and almost brought the game home is a big positive for us. He also adds that the bowling has been brilliant for us and restricting them to 160 was a perfect execution of plan by both the senior pros and the youngsters as well.
Stay tuned for the presentation...
Earlier in the innings, Tom Latham put his hand up just when his side needed it the most. His half-century proved to be valuable as it allowed the middle-order to flex their muscles later on. The Kiwis got over the 160-run mark and that's what their skipper expected pre-game. Pakistan showed excellent unity with the ball but could not show the same unity with the bat. Iftikhar Ahmed was left with a bit too much in the end, but he still managed to give it a go.
Defending 163 was never going to be easy, but the New Zealand bowlers made sure to get off to a solid start by picking early wickets. They had Pakistan in all sorts of trouble from the get go. The bowlers never allowed them to build solid stand, until the very end, the one between Faheem Ashraf and Iftikhar Ahmed. Also, the injury to Benjamin Lister forced Tom Latham to gamble bowlers for the two overs which Lister could not bowl, as he left the field early in pain. Eventually, New Zealand fought till the very end and managed to keep the series alive.
It looked like Pakistan were done and dusted, although Iftikhar Ahmed had some other plans. It was a horror start for the hosts with the blade as their opening pair was taken out cheaply. Fakhar Zaman, Saim Ayub and Shadab Khan got into double digits but could not hurt the opposition at all. But then, a miraculous knock from Iftikhar Ahmed got some hope back in the crowd as well as the dugout. If not for his 24-ball 60, this match would've never come down to the wire.
Game of nerves, this one! What a thrilling contest. The pendulum swung in favour of both the teams till the very end but it is James Neesham who proved that he has ice in his veins. Even after taking some hard-hitting, he managed to defend 15 runs in the final over to keep the series alive for the Kiwis.

Adam Milne To Saim Ayub
Fuller one pitching around leg, Saim Ayub looks to flick this but fails to connect and the ball has clattered into his pads. Loud appeal from Adam Milne but the umpire turns this down. Tom Latham has asked for a review here but the Ball Tracking shows that the ball is pitching outside leg and the on-field decision stays.

Matt Henry To Fakhar Zaman OUT!
OUT! Chad Bowes hits the bull's eye and sees the back of Mohammad Rizwan. On a length around off, Fakhar Zaman taps this to the point and sets off for a single but Chad Bowes was quick with the pickup and the throw is accurate as well. Mohammad Rizwan has to walk back as he is well short of his crease.
Is that a run out? New Zealand players seem to be confident. The umpire takes it upstairs. The replays confirm that Mohammad Rizwan is way short of the crease. The big screen shows OUT!
