Cricket 3rd ODI: Heavy rain sends Green Shirts & Kiwis to pavilion!

DUBAI: Green Shirts that won the toss and batted, scored 279 for 8 in the third and final one-day international against New Zealand in Dubai today. 
Babar Azam (92), Fakhar Zaman (65) and Haris Sohail (60) all chipped in with half-centuries to bolster Pakistan’s chances of winning the series which is tied at 1-1.


New Zealand paceman Lockie Ferguson finished with a career-best 5 for 45. It is pertinent to mention here that Kiwis are without their regular captain Kane Williamson who had to pull out of the match with a groin injury, leaving Tom Latham to lead the side.
