Yet another incredible performance from captain Babar Azam! He really proved why he's the number one batter. This ton marks his 18th century in ODI and it's the second highest against New Zealand, truly impressive. Following the captain's massive knock, Pakistan has set a massive total on the board, finishing at 334/6 after 50 overs. And thanks to a big finish with 38 runs in the last 2 overs, they've set a tough total for New Zealand. It looks like a 4-0 defeat is coming for New Zealand. Yes of course, anything can happen in cricket so we'll have to wait and see.

Not a good start of run chase as both NZ openers are out on just 46 runs in 9 overs. NZ need 289 runs in 41 overs at required rate of 7. It looks tough but anything can happen as New Zealand have few talented batsmen in there lineup like Mark Chapman. Good entertaining knock from Shaheen and Haris in last overs. 3 sixes from Shaheen and 1 from Haris helped Pakistan in giving target of 335 runs.

New Zealand won the toss and elected to bowl first. Pakistan put up a decent start with the bat Despite Fakhar Zaman 14 runs and early dismissal Shan Masood 44 runs have provided stability to Pakistan innings 106 with a loss of 2 wickets in 20 overs. With Babar Azam 30 and Rizwan 15 at the crease, Pakistan still has a strong batting lineup to build a good total. It's great to see fans hoping for a score of 290 plus and with the way things are going it is possible. Let's hope for an entertaining and competitive game between Pakistan and New Zealand.
Tonight Pakistan pick strong batting lineup by giving chance to iftikhar, Haris and Shan whose add decent number of runs to the total, king Baber were again on fire and scored a spectacular century in crutial situation through which they scored 300+ runs. Last few sixes from Pakistan bowler Shaheen really boost thier moral.
Now it's a good target for strong bowling lineup of Pakistan to defend. Hope early on wicket of Shaheen and Haris will put them under pressure which result them victory.

Babar Azam and Salman Agha on the crease could score good runs for the team. By the end of 35 overs Pakistan have reached 195/3. More 90 balls left and Pakistan can comfortably score 300+ runs as wickets are slow. Even this looks like the match of Pakistan. New Zealand have won the toss and decided to bowl. Last match also New Zealand won the toss and decided to bowl. First two match toss were won by Pakistan and chosen to bowl. Throughout the series toss winner have chosen to bowl first. Lets see whether toss matters.

New Zealand should have gone to bat first after winning the toss. They have good batting lineup and struggling bowling. That's why they should bat first and try to put pressure on Pakistan by giving a big target. Pakistan score is 204 runs after 36 overs and Babar Azam is still on the crease. If Pakistan can give a target of over 300 runs then it will be difficult for new zealand to chase it with current Pakistani bowling lineup.

The current squad of New Zealand is without there 8 main players, and still, they were able to draw the T20 series. Pakistan has done relatively better in the ODI series, but still, 2 ODIs left and New Zealand have the capability to win the remaining 2 ODIs. If New  Zealand able to win next 2 ODIs then it will place big question mark on performance of Pakistan. 4th ODI is scheduled today and new Zealand will try there best today to win the game.
Match will start in 40 minutes. And I am again thinking that the Pakistan will again give surprise. Pakistan is looking strong like it was in the  previous matches. I hope Fakhar Zaman will make century again. And Imamulhaq will also make 50+ runs. And today I hope if Pakistan will take the bat first so the target will be 300+. Its a hope not a confirmation.

Pakistan is so far in a stable position after loosing 2 wickets they are are on 132 runs,  runrate is going good so far . Muhammad Rizwan and Babar Azam are playing so let's see how they'll score today as their partnership is very famous for Pakistan winning or loosing any game.
Pakistan are playing very well so far.  However, even if they can save wickets, they are not able to collect many runs. But is it a good plan for them to save wickets in the first half of overs and collect high runs without losing wickets in the latter stages of the game. however, it seems that Pakistan will not be able to do it with New Zealand because in the previous matches, Pakistan was also seen doing well. So I predict that Pakistan can win

Middle order batsman and spin bowling for Pakistan is still underway. No perfect fit for the position. Atleast the team should've taken the step earlier and trained a player than experimenting the person for the position. Haris Sohail and Salman Agha were the pick for the moment. Pakistan seems to concentrate much on Fast bowling, inbetween it had good all rounders like Shoaib Malik. Now strong players that perform on bowling, if they didn't contribute good with batting isn't available in the Pakistan team.

Pakistan doesn't have any good allrounders now. And all of their available options are comprised of spin-bowling allrounders. Two decades back, they had some very good pace bowling allrounders, such as Abdul Razzaq and Azhar Mahmood. But nowadays they don't have any. Naseem Shah and Shaheen Shah can bat a bit, but they can't be considered as allrounders. The Pakistani domestic cricket system is not producing such players, as the tracks are very supportive for the batsmen and doesn't support seam and swing bowling.
New Zealand performance is definitely very good as they are playing with their new players not main team, as compared to Pakistan who recently experimented their new players with Afghanistan and results we all have seen .
Pakistan is playing with their all top players and they had to win automatically so let's not give too much credit to them.

PCB cannot make any decisions in regards to cancellation of Asia Cup. The decision can only be taken by ACC. The only option left for PCB is to decide not to participate in the tournament. I am sure they won't opt out but if they do then the repercussions would be big. Do remember they are going to host Champions trophy next year. Looking at the present situation it would be wise for PCB to only shift Indian teams games to UAE. Otherwise they would have to agree in shifting the entire tournament to UAE.
Asia Cup is one of the most headache event in cricketing calendar due to conflict between India and Pakistan many postponed with cancellations, but sadly we have no strong ACC which able to settle this all with fair deal as right now we have Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and UAE three venues for playing cricket here in Asia they need to work on never Pakistan or India host this event and just play in these three places with if any country not agreed with this all he must be opted out from this event or just go ahead with all five venues and try to convey their governments for the permission as well because now it's time to bring this as simple sports instead of having issue of ego which is never been ideal and just having problems and speeches about this all are useless.

Appreciated your statement, Pakistan team won their series in absence of best batsmen and bowlers. If Kane Williamson, Glenn Philips and Finn Allen ‍ and if the bowlers like Tim Southee, Lockie Ferguson and Trent Boult were in the team then it would not have been easy for Pakistan to win 3 matches consecutively. New Zealand team lost the 3rd ODI by just 26 runs where they would not have lost under such conditions if they had world-renowned players.

Pakistan would not have easily won such a victory. Especially in the last match where Pakistan team won by few runs, that victory would have come under New Zealand. But still New Zealand team deserve praise for competing well with having comparatively weak team even if they lose.

Absence of main players won't be a problem for teams such as England and Australia. But then, New Zealand is a small country with a population of less than 5 million. They don't have that much depth in player pool and they are heavily dependent on immigrant players from South Africa and South Asian nations. Replacement pacers such as Blair Tickner and Henry Shipley doesn't have the quality of regular players like Southee and Boult. And this has been one of the reasons why New Zealand has struggled in this series so far.

And in bowling they are missing Tim Southee, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult and Mitchell Santner. Given all this, I need to say that they have performed credibly till now. At this point, Matt Henry and Adam Milne are spearheading their bowling attack, supported by youngsters such as Henry Shipley. Daryl Mitchell has also performed well so far in this series. Pakistan has already won the series 3-0. New Zealand will be looking for decent performances in the remaining two matches.

It could be a better decision if Pakistan's current squad who are performing well against New Zealand is prepared for the ODI World Cup and train up them. Because there is not much time left before the start of the World Cup. If Pakistan can improve their middle order and bowling action, they will see a good dominance in the World Cup. Moreover, with two matches remaining against New Zealand, some Pakistani players still have a chance to put their best and hope for a spot in the World Cup.

Pakistan vs New Zealand
 The match between these two teams is going to start after a few hours. I thought of betting some money for Pakistan team in today's match. But I don't know which team will perform well in today's match. If the batsmen of Pakistan team can perform well then Pakistan team will win the match.  There will be big chances. But New Zealand will try to win. If New Zealand spoils today in bowling and batting line then New Zealand team will have no chance to win.

With the ODI world cup just a few months away, Pakistani player Imam-ul-Haq has warned the PCB against further experiments with the players. He wants the PCB to finalize the middle order, which has been a big worry for Pakistan since the last few years. According to him, Agha Salman, Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz are best suited for the role, while the PCB wants to give opportunities to Iftikhar Ahmed and Mohammad Haris. Anyway, if Pakistan wants to lift trophy this time, then they not only need to work hard on middle order batting, but also on spin bowling department.
