We expected good performance from Pakistan but Pakistan batsmen batted badly. Today I thought Pakistan might win but today Pakistan's batting line is very bad. So far Pakistan have collected 98 runs in 26 overs losing 7 wickets. Everyone had faith in Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam, but they too failed today. Pakistan's top order batsmen Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam, Imam-ul-Haq, Abdullah Shafique, these 4 together scored only 10 runs which was not expected. Pakistan are going to be all out soon, needing 195 runs to win which Pakistan will not be able to chase down. New Zealand will easily win the series.

What a knock by the New Zealand team, they are winning back-to-back games against Pakistan, first beating them in the T20I matches and now in the One-day games, Can't get much better than this.

Today we have Mitchell Hay, who was named the player of the game, he scored 99 in 78 balls. And also took the four catches. Just missed his century by one run only. However, it is also commendable that he scored 99 while batting at the seventh position. If today he had scored a century, it would be his first century in one-day cricket, but he missed it.

It seems to me that Pakistan may be the most shameless team in this series, as they are losing one match after another. Today in the third ODI against New Zealand, when Pakistan lost five wickets for 50 runs, I realized that they would not be able to win this match again. We often see that even weak teams have a good understanding of the power to win, but the Pakistan team is currently lacking that power. Fahim Ashraf, who performed exceptionally well in the BPL, was still one of the leaders of the Pakistan team today.As you may know, cricket is not a one-man game, so the Pakistan team needs to fully understand this.
