Pakistan and New Zealand will play their third and final One Day International (ODI) on Friday, January 13 at Karachi’s National Bank Cricket Arena. Both teams will be seeking to put their best foot forward in the series decider, with each having won one game. New Zealand, led by Kane Williamson, had a poor start to their ODI campaign, losing the first game by six wickets, giving their opponent a 1-0 lead. The Kiwis, on the other hand, reacted with a thud, tying the series at three games apiece.

The surface at the National Bank Cricket Arena is expected to help batters once again, and they will be able to score runs quickly once they are well-established at the crease. Nonetheless, it is likely to be a dry wicket, which will benefit the spinners greatly. While the pacers will benefit from some assistance in the early overs, the pitch may become slower as the game goes on. As a result, the captain who wins the toss may decide to bat first.
