New Zealand team scored 264 runs today, this match was reduced to 42 overs due to wet outfield and here New Zealand team has given target. If Pakistan team fails to meet this target in today's match then it will be considered that they have never improved their game. If they can meet their target in 42 overs then they will win, and if they win one match in the series then they will not be criticized so much. So I think Pakistan team will have to play with their maximum effort today and bat with patience. If Pakistan want to maintain their dominance in today's match then they will definitely have to win this match and the series result will be 2/1 and if they fail to win then Pakistan team will be whitewashed.
Pakistani bowlers and Pakistani batsmen will not be able to win any match against New Zealand for now. Even if more than ten more ODI matches are played against New Zealand on New Zealand soil with the current Pakistan squad, Pakistan will not be able to win a single match. Batsmen from any team in the world prefer to play T20 style against Pakistani bowlers, which is why even today, in a 42-over match, New Zealand batsmen have given a target of 265 runs, which is impossible for Pakistan to achieve, especially based on their current performance Pakistan will not be able to win.
Pakistan lost the third match as well and was whitewashed in the ODI series. New Zealand batted first and collected 264 runs for the loss of 8 wickets in the stipulated 42 overs. New Zealand's batting line was very good, especially Michael Bracewell batted brilliantly, he batted in T20 style, he scored 59 runs off 40 balls. Both Pakistan's bowling and batting line were not good today. Especially the batsmen of Pakistan are performing badly in every match. If Pakistan's batsmen could have performed well then Pakistan would have won. Pakistan were eventually bowled out for 221 runs.
Every New Zealand player likes to deal with the Pakistani bowlers very comfortably and they even played every bowler's ball in an aggressive manner. But Pakistan's batsmen were unable to understand the New Zealand bowlers' ball, and due to the failure of the top order, Pakistan was defeated very badly in T20s and ODIs. The management should take a very cautious stance on improving Pakistan's batsmen and bowlers for now.

New Zealand's dominance is real. In 2025, the Kiwis winning ratio against Pakistan demonstrated that i mean they've beaten Pakistan in all six ODIs they played so far. They brought in many young players who performed really well against Pakistan. Right now, New Zealand is far ahead, and Pakistan is struggling. Pakistan's poor batting and weaker bowling have been clearly exposed in both T20s and ODIs. I just wish, Pakistan can bounce back from this tough time soon.
