Pakistan vs New Zealand 3rd ODI Highlights: Kiwis seal series with two-wicket win

Playing XI

Pakistan Fakhar Zaman, Shan Masood, Babar Azam(c), Mohammad Rizwan(wk), Haris Sohail, Agha Salman, Mohammad Nawaz, Usama Mir, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Mohammad Hasnain, Haris Rauf

New Zealand Finn Allen, Devon Conway, Kane Williamson(c), Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham(wk), Glenn Phillips, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee, Lockie Ferguson

Toss | Pakistan have opted to bat

After Pakistan won the first ODI by six wickets, New Zealand answered back to level the series 1-1 and prevented the third ODI from being a dead rubber.

The Kiwis will be excited with Kane Williamson getting amongst runs and Devon Conway as well scoring a crucial century.

Interestingly, the thing that should excite the Kiwis more is that Pakistan were on a winning streak in ODIs that was broken with a 79-run defeat.

Pakistan cricket is probably going through some internal turmoil, probably not. There have been questions about Babar Azam’s captaincy but that has not affected his performances with the bat at least.

It will be worthwhile to see if Pakistan can win the series or if the Kiwis will dominate and have an away series win to their name.

Premier League: Ben Mee's header helps Burnley register win over Crystal Palace

Ben Mee marked his 300th league appearance for Burnley by clinching a 1-0 victory at Crystal Palace on Monday and keeping his team in an unexpected push for European qualification. A three-year wait for a goal ended for Mee with a header from Ashley Westwood’s free kick in the 62nd minute, moving Burnley up to eighth in the English Premier League — seven points from the Champions League places with six games to go. Burnley was without Jay Rodriguez — the match-winner against Watford on Thursday — and due to a lack of options Sean Dyche could replace him with only defender Erik Pieters. “Coming into the night with a depleted squad, with only one senior boy on the bench, and playing like we did tonight, it shows the character, it shows we’re together," Mee told Amazon Prime. “To get a goal is nice. I’ve had chances cleared off the line or good saves so it’s nice to finally get one in. "It wasn’t a great ball from Westy (Westwood), it wasn’t what we worked on but you’ve got...

England vs New Zealand: Joe Root aims for Black Caps and India sweep ahead of Ashes

Joe Root believes there will be no better way for England to prepare to regain the Ashes in Australia later this year than by completing a home clean sweep of New Zealand and India. The England captain will lead his side in the first of a two-match series against New Zealand at Lord's on Wednesday, with five more Tests against India before the English season is finished. India, top of the Test rankings, and second-placed New Zealand will contest the inaugural World Test Championship final at Southampton, southern England, later this month. England, and many of their supporters, have long given the impression that matches against arch-rivals Australia are the only Tests that really count, with everything else a 'warm-up'. But such a viewpoint was labelled "limited, narrow and delusional" by former England captain Mike Atherton in The Times on Tuesday. Root, however, saw no conflict between England's short and long-term goals. "There's going to b...
