As the series reaches its conclusion, Pakistan and New Zealand prepare to face off in the third and final ODI at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, on Saturday.

With the hosts already claiming an unbeatable 2-0 lead, courtesy of victories by 73 and 84 runs, they will aim to seal a clean sweep.

Pakistan, on the other hand, will be eager to turn things around, regain momentum, and end the series with a morale-boosting win. With pride and momentum at stake, will the Black Caps maintain their dominance, or can Pakistan finally crack the code?

@sweep_shot tell this clown he is a new cricket fan.
He said he's been watching cricket since 2003 but the only person I've ever believed who's truly watched cricket for a long period of time is you, Shaz, Sultan, Topspin, Amjid Javed and a few others like sweepshot and some Indian posters as well like mezo and a few others.

Everyone else i believe started watching from 2012-2019 onwards and are just flexing when they say we've been watching since the 60's.

I started in 2015 but properly followed cricket since pak vs eng odi series before 2019 wc cup.

@jnaveen1980 is reliable too. @Markhor as well. They are reliable for bringing context from past era’s and applying it to contemporary cricket

2009 started, 2011 full time. Also you're a very knowledgeable poster as well, but I didn't put you on the list due to age.

Basically in 2009 I started watching the t20 wc however my parents watched it on tv and I was just in the room but I did watch most games, however zero memory due to being 9 years old at the time.

Then I started watching full time in 2011. I became a fan of the Australian cricket team in 2015 though.

People always wonder why I fanboy them but I remember social media during that Facebook era. People though aus were done and dusted in 2011 and then 2014-2015 happened.

Was also admired by smith, at the time and some old posts on PP viewed him as one of the worst players to ever debut for aus aka a trash leg spinner and a horrible fake batter.

And 11 years later we have possibly the best test batsmen of all time.
 
when your top order is tuktuk imam abdullah babar and rizwan your not winning anything
then you have spray gun harris and lost the plot naseem as bonus
 
Shamal: "Pakistan need to change the batting order. Salman at 3. Babar at 4. One of the new boys at 5. Rizwan at 6. The middle order is like jello. Rizwan need to bat lower to help the new guys. Faheem at 7. Then the bowlers. The opening batsmen well that is problematic. Until Saim returns."

not a bad shout 👏

You do any combination and you will get the same outcome :ROFLMAO:
 
Faheem Ashraf:

"Definitely (scoring runs), when you score some runs, you will definitely enjoy. But if we lose the match, we don't properly enjoy it. But I wish we were happy when I score runs and our team wins. (Conditions) This time is more difficult for the batters. It was also difficult for the batters in December-January, but this time it is more because of the wicket. But if you are a professional (cricketer), no excuse. You should be prepared for every condition. I think it is probably the movement (seam), not bounce or pace. Because we have played lots of cricket in New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa but this time the movement is the problem. Everyone's hoping for a win today, and we finish the series on a good note."
 
What’s going on?

It hasn’t even rained today!
Why such a long delay? If this had happened in Pakistan, people would be calling for the entire PCB to be sacked.

How is New Zealand getting away with this so easily?

Sick and tired of this team and captain.

match started or not
 
What did Usman Khan do wrong? Cause a headache for Aqib because of Saim and Fakhar coming back??
Scored a 39 last game rizwan wants no competition

This is BS why I stopped watching cricket switching TV off can't be bothered
 
1. Dravid
2. Greame Smith
3. Virat
4. Chanderpaul
5. Maxwell


Pakistan’s top 5
 
3-0 is deserved

Sackings after this will be deserved!

They are doing the same b.s leading up to the 2022 World Cup!
 
Usman
Abdullah
Agha
Rizwan
Khushdil
Tayyab
Irfan
Faheem
Wasim
Sufiyan
Akif

It's a dead rubber. We should have played a line up like this. Winning the match isn't a big deal because the series is gone but try some players at least. Bowling is weak in this line up but let's see how the bits and pieces fare. Might as well learn something.

It rained overnight and they forgot to cover the ground. PCB is a meek board they roll over to everyones demands for more tours in the future.
 
Is Usman injured? Why isn't he playing after doing ok in one match but Abdullah and Imam failed and get another?

What the hell is going on?
I think they said he had a muscle injury after the first ODI and that he might be back in time for the start of the PSL, so was pretty much ruled out of this game
 
Tayyab Tahir has some real connections. :sharif

I have rarely seen a Pakistani given as many chances despite repeated failures.
 
Chanderpaul will rescue Pakistan!
Chanderpaul is a great batsman of his era. And is a man of crisis. He has a record of nearly 30k runs in FC , actually a legend compared with a nothing cricketer who still struggles to find his feat or make an impact in the game after playing 10 years of intl cricket. Can’t play in friendly or foreign conditions , he himself thinks that he is Sangakkara of Pak.

Until Pak push him to no.6 as a wk who can bat a bit and inject another solid middle order in the 11 wouldn’t mind Shan Masood coming in at no.4 and Salman at no.5 this guy Rizwan simply kills any momentum or rhythm in the batting order. 4 tuk tuks from 1-4 is a recipe for disaster.

He should come up the order. He is not a slogger tbh but can play spin better than Rizwan actually. Salman at 4 and Tayyab at 5 and Rizwan at 6 could be tried. Don’t know why suddenly Khsudhil vanished after having a decent outing compared to this Tayyab guy. Khusdhil can also bring that left arm spin.

Rizwan at 6 is useless.
