NZ vs PAK 3rd T20 Match Prediction: Pakistan will play their third match against the New Zealand side on March 21, 2025, at Eden Park Auckland. The match will start at 11:45 AM.
Team Preview of New Zealand vs Pakistan 3rd T20 Match Prediction 2025
New Zealand once again won the match easily in the 2nd t20i against Pakistan by 5 wickets, but it was not very one-sided like the 1st one because Pakistan did score 135 runs in just 15 overs.
The bowling by Pakistan’s top bowler, Shaheen, was disappointing because he conceded 31 runs in 2 overs. However, he did bowl a maiden over at the start of the 2nd innings.
In the third T20I match, Pakistan needs to give a chance to Usman Khan, Abbas Afridi, and Sufiyan Muqeem because the other newcomers look more like school-grade cricketers. They might replace Zakary Foulkes with Kyle Jamieson for the New Zealand side.
