Pakistan Vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri Series Final: Chasing a target of 243 runs, New Zealand lost their first wicket as Wil Young via LBW to Naseem Shah in the second over during the final of the tri-series at the National Stadium in Karachi. New Zealand score 17/1 runs in 5 overs.

After winning the toss and opting to bat first in the final of the tri-series at the National Stadium in Karachi, Pakistan posted 242 runs against New Zealand after losing all their wickets in 49.3 overs. Now the Kiwis will have to score 243 runs to chase in 50 overs.

Pakistan's batters – Fakhar Zaman (10), Babar Azam (29), Saud Shakeel (8), Mohammad Rizwan (46), Salman Agha (45), Tayyab Tahir (38), Khushdil Shah (7), Shaheen Shah Afridi (1), Faheem Ashraf (22) and Naseem Shah (19) – lost their wickets to New Zealand bowlers. 

For New Zealand, Will O’Rourke picked four wickets, Michael Bracewell and Mitchell Santner took 2 wickets each, Nathan Smith and Jacob Duffy have picked one wicket each.

The Men in Green booked their place in the final by breaking the record for the highest successful run chase in ODIs and defeating South Africa by 6 wickets.

The Tri-Series, though a truncated event, had taken on added significance as it took place on the heels of the Champions Trophy. Pakistan and New Zealand will meet at the same venue in the Champions Trophy opener on 19 February and a win for either side would go a long way to boosting their confidence.

The last time these teams met, Pakistan were bowled out for just 78 runs at the Gaddafi Stadium after making 330 in their first innings. New Zealand's big guns have all fired up for the Kiwis and Pakistan will be hoping that the senior side can rise to the occasion with the Champions Trophy just around the corner.
