Pakistan, a team that is often criticised for its poor fielding, saw pacer Haris Rauf pull off one of the finest catches in the team's history. Rauf produced a one-handed stunner during the third T20I of the 5-match series against New Zealand on Friday to send opening batter Fin Allen packing early in the game.

New Zealand vs Pakistan 3rd T20I LIVE Score Updates: Pakistan won the toss and opted to field in the must-win third T20I of the five-match series against New Zealand. Pakistan need to win in order to keep their hopes alive of winning a T20I bilateral series against a Top 8-ranked nation for the first time since 2021. Pakistan have been outclassed in the first two T20Is of the series, and enter this game as firm underdogs. The men in green were bundled out for just 91 in the first game, which New Zealand chased down in just 10.1 overs, whilst the Black Caps also won a rain-hit shortened encounter in the second T20I. This is Pakistan's first T20I series under the leadership of new captain Salman Ali Agha. (LIVE SCORECARD)
New Zealand vs Pakistan 3rd T20I LIVE Streaming: Pakistan enter the third T20I of the five-match series against New Zealand needing to win, having lost both of the first two games to the Kiwis. As a result, Pakistan must win each of the remaining three T20Is in order to win the series. On the other hand, the Black Caps will aim to outclass Pakistan yet again and seal a series victory with two T20Is to go. New Zealand dismissed Pakistan for just 91 in the first T20I, chasing down the target in 10.1 overs, before beating them again in a shortened 15-over contest in the second game.
New Zealand completed another dominant victory against Pakistan in the second T20I of the 5-match series on Tuesday, beating the tourists by 6 wickets in a rain-marred contest. Batting first, Pakistan put a decent total of 135/9 on the board, in a 15-over-per-side contest but New Zealand chased it down with ease. Much like the first T20I, Pakistan bowlers failed to step up to the challenge against the Kiwis. Even the travelling side's marquee pacer, Shaheen Afridi, was torn apart by the hosts' batters.
Former England all-rounder Moeen Ali has dismissed the notion that Pakistan always produce the best fast bowlers. Moeen cited the example of current pace trio of Pakistan -- Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah -- saying that they are good, but not great. Pakistan had a tournament to forget as they crashed in the group stage of the Champions Trophy at home. The likes of Shaheen, Haris and Naseem all failed to impress, raising doubts over their abilities to take wickets. While Shaeen and Haris were retained in the squad for the ongoing white-ball series against New Zealand, Naseem had to bear the brunt of the team's disappointing Champions Trophy show.
Pakistan slumped to a nine-wicket defeat in the first Twenty20 against New Zealand in Christchurch on Sunday after failing to defend a meagre score of 91. The tourists began the five-match series in disastrous fashion, reduced to 11-4 at the end of the fifth over after towering paceman Kyle Jamieson ran amok with the new ball. They were eventually dismissed for their lowest score in a T20 on New Zealand soil and the home side romped to 92-1 off just 10.1 overs. Jamieson claimed three of the first four wickets to finish with 3-8 off four overs.
Former England cricket team all-rounder Moeen Ali believes that the current Pakistan fast bowlers are good but they are not the best in the world. In a recent interaction, Moeen called the trio of Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah talented but made it clear that when it comes to the best in the world, they are not at the top of the list. In a podcast alongside Adil Rashid, Moeen said that people with Pakistani backgrounds tend to claim that the pace trio is the best in the world but that is not the case. "There's this perception, especially among people with Pakistani backgrounds, that Pakistan has the best seamers. I'm like, no. They're good, but they're not the best," Moeen said.
