(Video) 3rd T20 Match | Pakistan Vs New Zealand | Full Highlights 2023 | Cricket Highlights | PAK VS NZTom Latham, the skipper of New Zealand wins the MAN OF THE MATCHaward, for an outstanding effort with the blade.He starts by saying it is nice to get a win on the board.

Babar Azam, the captian of Pakistansays 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 Lathamput 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. Pakistanshowed excellent unity with the ball but could not show the same unity with the bat. Iftikhar Ahmedwas 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 Zealandbowlers made sure to get off to a solid start by picking early wickets. They had Pakistanin 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 Listerforced Tom Lathamto gamble bowlers for the two overs which Lister could not bowl, as he left the field early in pain. Eventually, New Zealandfought till the very end and managed to keep the series alive.
!
It looked like Pakistan were done and dusted, although Iftikhar Ahmedhad 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 Ayuband Shadab Khangot into double digits but could not hurt the opposition at all. But then, a miraculous knock from Iftikhar Ahmedgot 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 Neeshamwho 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.
