Summary Kiwis have brought good form into this series against Pakistan.
AUCKLAND (Dunya News/AFP) – The under pressure Pakistan after facing humiliating defeat by New Zealand will try to level the series while winning the last one-day international due on Sunday at Eden Park.
The Pakistani player and captain of ODI team Azhar Ali would need all the competence and experience to save Pakistan from the rout.
The Kiwis took a 1-0 lead in the series by winning first ODI at the Basin Reserve in Wellington while the second match at McLean Park in Napier ended up being abandoned due to continuous drizzling.
Earlier, a solid 82 by Henry Nicholls followed by a ninth-wicket batting blitz carried New Zealand to a convincing 70-run victory in the opening one-day international.
In reply to New Zealand s 280-8, Pakistan were skittled out for 210 with four overs remaining.
The second ODI was washed out by the rain. Umpires Bruce Oxenford and Billy Bowden waited more than four hours for the weather to clear and inspected the conditions but when the rain finally stopped there was no sun to dry the waterlogged outfield, resulting in cancellationo of match.
