LUCK DIDN'T FAVOUR PAKISTAN TO WIN THE SERIES.

ODI Series Ended In A Draw:

Before the 3rd and final ODI match of the series, Pakistan and New Zealand were both looking to win the decider match and lift the trophy up. In 3rd ODI Sarfaraz won the toss and elected to bat first which turned into a worthy decision for his team. While batting first Pakistan set a good total of 280 runs for Kiwis with the help of the half centuries of Fakhar, Babar and Haris. Pakistan's 1st wicket down on 64 runs when Hafeez got out on 19 runs as hit wicket. He went too deep in the crease which cost him his wicket. On 98 runs, Fakhar Zaman was caught by Henry on Grandhomme's delivery after scoring 65 runs. Pakistan loose their 3rd wicket on the score of 206 runs when Haris Sohail departed after playing a fine innings of 60 runs. Babar Azam again played a very good looking innings of 92 runs on 100 balls but missed his well deserved century by only 8 runs. Malik was caught by worker on 19 runs, Asif and Faheem was bowled on 9 and 5 runs respectively and Hasan was caught by Worker on 2 runs. Pakistan made 279 runs after loosing 8 wickets in 50 overs.

Kiwis came to chase 280 runs and lost their 1st wicket in the very first over of Shaheen Afridi, when Afridi bowled Munro and he went on a duck.  In 6.5 overs Black Caps was on 35 runs after loosing a wicket,  Worker and Nicholls we're batting on 18 and 15 runs respectively. Pakistan was looking quiet comfortable to win the decider and series after 12 year against a high ranked team, meanwhile rain disturbed and stopped the match.
Luck didn't favour Pakistan  and in result of rain match ended as a draw and series remained level.
