Before the match, Cricketer Faheem Ashraf released his feelings about the team’s performance so far. “When you score some races, you will definitely enjoy. But if we lose the match, we don’t enjoy it properly. But I wish we were happy when I score races and our team wins.”
The cricketer said this time is more difficult for the butchers, adding that it was also difficult for the butchers in December-January.
“Everyone is hoping for a win today and we’re done with the series on a good note,” he added.
New Zealand has already secured an unusable 2-0 lead in the three-match series and is looking at securing s whitewash victory over Pakistan.
Pakistan, on the other hand, will try to avoid a pure sweep by securing their first victory in the country since February 2011.

The left -handed dough, which also missed the other ODD, due to a hamstring injury, was assessed during the home visit’s training for the upcoming fixture, which revealed that he had not come enough.
As a result, Tim Seifert, who was called as Chapman’s replacement for the other Odi in Hamilton, will remain with the troop for the upcoming fixture.
After the green shirts suffered the 84-race loss in the second ODI in Seddon Park on Wednesday, Pakistan skipper Mohammad Rizwan said: “It’s tender, but it’s part of the game. We didn’t do well today. We didn’t use the swing effectively, and New Zealand bowled very well.”
“Bowlers of New Zealand were very disciplined; they bowled the hard lengths. In the last few months we have lost the most important moments. Today we did not do well with the ball or bat in the first 10 overs. Credit to Mitch Hay too; the way he fought was great,” Rizwan said.
“We don’t know much about the track in Tauranga, but we will have to adapt to.”
