Commentary
OUT! Caught. Ben Sears to Naseem Shah. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, outside edge in the air uncontrolled, caught by Hay. New Zealand have clinched victory by 84 runs, sealing the series on home turf with one match to go. The home side's bowlers delivered an outstanding performance, especially during the first powerplay, where they secured three wickets. Pakistan's opening and middle-order batters faltered and despite half-centuries from Faheem Ashraf and concussion replacement Naseem Shah, were never in the hunt. Ben Sears led the bowling attack with an impressive five-wicket haul, while Jacob Duffy provided great support with three wickets. Mitch Hay deservedly earned the Player of the Match.
