8:58 pm The third T20I for New Zealand has been recapped. New Zealand got off to a flying start, with 250 in the cards, due to Seifert's excellent power hitting. Seifert departed after a magnificent 44-run, 22-ball inning. Finn Allen took the lead and reached his sixth T20I fifty, but he had to depart after skying the slower delivery in the air. Following Allen's departure, the run rate dropped, and New Zealand struggled in the middle. Pakistan's bowlers performed admirably in the middle overs, they were able to keep everything tight and dry around the boundaries. Bracewell and Mitchell were subsequently able to rebuild and minimise the damage, eventually accelerating and hitting a couple boundaries to post a solid total. Bracewell had a fantastic knock down the order, getting 46 runs off 26 deliveries. It's a pitch where pace-off deliveries have performed better than quick deliveries. Even Abrar was expensive at first, but he eventually slowed down and performed wonderfully. Haris Rauf is once again Pakistan's top bowler, taking up three wickets at an economy rate of 6.75. It will be a fascinating pursuit for Pakistan; please join us for the run chase after a little break!

Pakistan need 221 runs to win the match
