Pakistan vs New Zealand Team Preview
Pakistan
Throughout this series, Pakistan has excelled with both bat and ball and has been a cut above New Zealand. They will now aim for a 5-0 series victory.
Similar to what happened before the second ODI, Pakistan made three changes before the third ODI, with Usama Mir, Ihsanullah, and Haris Rauf being replaced by Shadab Khan, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Mohammad Wasim. Rauf will likely rejoin the team for this game.
New Zealand
On Wednesday, New Zealand had four wickets left and needed 61 runs, but their tail end was unable to get that many runs. In this match, we anticipate them to put up another fierce fight.
Cole McConchie’s positive ODI debut on Wednesday, when he scored 64 unbeaten and collected 1-46, was noteworthy. He might go up the rankings in this game. The group as a whole has no serious injury concerns going into this game.

National Stadium Karachi
Although there might be a temptation to test themselves by batting first, we predict that both teams will want to field first if they win the toss. Both teams have chosen to field first throughout this series.
The match on Friday is expected to take place in sunny conditions with a 42% humidity level.
The National Stadium’s prepared wicket will be good for batting and will help fast bowlers with the new ball.
