The 3rd ODI between New Zealand and Pakistan is being held on April 5, 2025, at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui. This match is part of Pakistan’s tour of New Zealand, with the hosts already leading the series 2-0 after dominant performances in the first two ODIs.
Pakistan won the toss and opted to bowl first in this day match, which was initially scheduled as a 50-over game but reduced to 42 overs per side due to a wet outfield caused by overnight rain. The match timings are from 11:00 AM local time, with the first session running until 2:30 PM, followed by a break and the second session from 3:15 PM to 6:45 PM.
Pakistan’s tour has been challenging, as they have lost six of their last seven matches across formats. Their batting lineup has struggled throughout the series, while New Zealand has shown depth and adaptability despite missing key players due to IPL commitments.
Pakistan made one change for this game, bringing in Naseem Shah as a concussion substitute for Haris Rauf. Meanwhile, New Zealand replaced Nathan Smith with Tim Seifert in their playing XI. Both teams aim to deliver strong performances, with Pakistan seeking to salvage pride and New Zealand looking for a clean sweep.
