PAK vs NZ 3rd T20I: After clinching two consecutive matches, the dominating host, Pakistan, are all set to face off against the visitors, New Zealand, in the third T20I of the New Zealand tour of Pakistan 2023. The 3rd T20I will once again be played at the same venue, the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore on the evening of 17th April. Here we discuss PAK vs NZ 3rd T20I Dream11 Prediction, Playing XI, Pitch Report For 3rd T20I.

Pakistan and New Zealand played two matches in two days back-to-back and Pakistan thoroughly outplayed the Blackcaps on both days. The difference between both sides could be easily understood by the fact that Pakistan’s batters have hit five times 30+ scores which include one century from the skipper Babar Azam and one half-century from Rizwan, whereas, New Zealand’s Mark Chapman is the lone batter to score 30+ and not only once. He scored 37 runs in the first and 65 in the second T20I.

In the first T20I, Pakistan bundled out New Zealand in just 94 runs in defense of 183 runs target. Similar scenes in the second T20I where Pakistan, batting first, put 192 runs on the board, and trapped the visitors within 154 in 20 overs.

Haris Rauf has been the star for the Pakistan team as he claimed 4-4 crucial wickets in both matches. It seems like New Zealand have no answers to his shivering pace.

PAK vs NZ 3rd T20I Pitch Report

The pitch at Lahore is suitable for both bowlers and batsmen. The chase has been more difficult here if the target is over 170 because the pitch slows down as the game progresses and helps spinners more. Spinners are and have been effective as the game progresses, and it was evident even in the recently concluded PSL.

It is now clear that in Gaddafi Stadium, the batting first side gains more advantages of the surface in batting and bowling later. The first-inning average score here is 175 and that of the second-inning is 157.
