The final ODI of the New Zealand vs Pakistan series was witness to some ugly scenes as Khushdil Shah was dragged away by the security. Several social media users claimed that Khushdil Shah was angry with some fans at the Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui. Some other accounts claimed that he was angry due to anti-Pakistan slogans. Security had to step in as a fan could be seen restraining the cricketer.
The third ODI between Pakistan and New Zealand at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui faced an extremely strange problem. In the 39th over of the Pakistan batting innings, there was a massive power failure in the stadium, causing all the floodlights to shut off instantly. This left the players in complete darkness, unable to see the play. The incident could've proved to be very dangerous as well, happening just as Kiwi pacer Jacob Duffy was about to deliver his ball.
New Zealand vs Pakistan 3rd ODI, LIVE Score Updates: Pakistan will be hoping to get a consolation win as they take on New Zealand in the third and final ODI of a rather unsuccessful white-ball tour. Pakistan were hammered 4-1 in the T20I series, and have already been outclassed in the first two ODIs of the series. Having previously beaten Australia and South Africa in ODI series away from home, Pakistan haven't been able to replicate the same against New Zealand, continuing on from their disastrous Champions Trophy 2025 campaign.

New Zealand vs Pakistan Live Streaming 3rd ODI Live Telecast: Pakistan eye a consolation win in the third and final ODI, having already conceded the three-match series against New Zealand. Pakistan's nightmare, Mark Chapman, will miss the game at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui, owing to a hamstring injury. Tim Seifert, who was announced as Chapman's replacement in the second ODI, will continue to serve as his replacement. Chapman picked up the injury during the series-opener in Napier last week. Despite his absence in the second match, the hosts managed to clinch the series with a game to go. While the series-opener in McLean Park was a bit cagey, the game in Hamilton reverberated with the Kiwis' dominance. Pakistan were beaten comprehensively in all facets of the game. Mitchell Hay's unbeaten 99* tormented Pakistan bowlers, while Ben Sears, with his maiden five-wicket haul, was a nightmare for the visitors.
New Zealand batter Mark Chapman, who missed the second ODI against Pakistan due to a hamstring injury, will sit out of the third and final game of the series on Saturday at Mount Maunganui. Tim Seifert, who was announced as Chapman's replacement in the second ODI, will continue to serve as his replacement. Pakistan's nightmare, Chapman, sustained a minor hamstring tear while fielding during the ODI series opener in Napier.
Former cricketer Basit Ali felt "betrayed" and questioned the brand of cricket that Pakistan exhibited during the second ODI in Hamilton against New Zealand. He slammed Mohammad Rizwan for his "poor captaincy" and took a dig at the Pakistan team before the final ODI, saying they should announce New Zealand victorious and return. Pakistan's sharp decline in international cricket continued with another mediocre performance against New Zealand. The Men in Green kicked off the ODI leg on the back of a 4-1 hammering in the T20I series. With another defeat in the series opener, Pakistan had one final shot at salvaging something with a victory in the second ODI.
Pakistan Test vice-captain Saud Shakeel seemingly took a swipe at Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Mohsin Naqvi, during his appearance on a talk show. During his appearance on Geo News, Shakeel was asked to reveal two changes he would make if he were made the chairman of the PCB. Replying to the query, Shakeel said he would appoint a permanent head coach for the next three years, adding that nobody would be able to remove him, even when he is no longer the president.
Mohsin Naqvi, the Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), has been appointed as the new President of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). Naqvi was elected as the new ACC President in an online meeting on Thursday and will immediately take charge. “I am deeply honoured to assume the presidency of the Asian Cricket Council. Asia remains the heartbeat of world cricket, and I am committed to working with all member boards to accelerate the game's growth and global influence.”
