NZ vs PAK 2025 3rd ODI Results

updated：New Zealand beat Pakistan by 43 runs.
New Zealand wrapped up a dominant 3-0 series sweep against Pakistan with a 43-run win in the third ODI at Mount Maunganui. After a rain delay shortened the match to 42 overs, New Zealand posted 264/8, with Michael Bracewell’s explosive 59 and Rhys Mariu’s steady 58 leading the charge. Pakistan’s chase faltered early, especially after Imam-ul-Haq’s unfortunate concussion injury, and despite Babar Azam’s 50, the visitors never kept pace with the required run rate. Ben Sears, with 5/34, continued his stellar form, helping dismiss Pakistan for 221 and seal the series victory.

NZ vs PAK 2025 3rd ODI: New Zealand and Pakistan will face off in the final ODI showdown!

This is the final ODI match of the New Zealand vs Pakistan series, and it will take place at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui. However, due to the relatively recent establishment of this ground, there has only been one ODI match between these two teams here, and that was back in 2011. Since then, there hasn’t been any ODI encounter between New Zealand and Pakistan at this venue. The one match played here was won by New Zealand, and given that New Zealand is the home team, they may have a slight advantage going into this match.
