Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: New Zealand once again showcased their superiority with a decisive victory in the final, further enhancing their preparations for the Champions Trophy. The Kiwis successfully addressed another critical aspect of their game, demonstrating sharpness in all areas, with Tom Latham hitting form at an opportune moment. Their team appears well-balanced, featuring a strong pace attack, dependable spinners, and a batting order that is performing exceptionally well.

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Phillips struck a four and followed it with a double against Faheem Ashraf, and with just one run needed for victory, the bowler delivered a wide, allowing New Zealand to secure a commanding tri-series win! NZ entered the final as the only undefeated team and delivered another dominant display, achieving a convincing 5-wicket victory by successfully chasing down the target of 243 runs in 45.2 overs.

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: The pair adeptly navigated the remainder of Shaheen Afridi's over, accumulating singles on each of the last four deliveries. New Zealand now requires only 7 runs to clinch victory with 30 balls remaining.

236/5 in 45 overs.

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Wicket no.5 in NZ innings and it's Shaheen Afridi who dismisses Latham in his first delivery of the new spell. Is there enough time left for a final twist? The Kiwis are still pretty firm in this chase, and they are only 11 runs away.

232/5 in 44.1 overs. Target 243

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Tom Latham reaches his half-century on the first delivery of the 44th over, and Pakistan's body language suggests this game is done. Latham reaches his fifty with a double on the first ball against Abrar, and follows it up with a four.

232/4 in 44 overs. Target 243

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Tom Latham smashes Abrar Ahmed for two boundaries in his ninth over of the innings. Abrar has proved expensive in this match and it is debatable whether it was the right call to bring him, with New Zealand closing in on the target. The Kiwis only need 22 runs off 8 overs to win now.

221/4 in 42 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: First boundary for Phillips as he smashes the delivery from Naseem Shah wide of mid-off. A confident shot from Phillips as New Zealand remain firm in chase.

208/4 in 41 overs. Target 243

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Glenn Phillips is the new man in, as he joins Latham with Kiwis needing 48 more runs to win in 11 overs. Still NZ's game to lose, this one.

195/4 in 38 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: What an eventful over that was. Abrar concedes three boundaries against Mitchell in the first five deliveries but dismisses the Kiwi batter on the final ball with a brilliant caught-and-bowled. Mitchell smashes the ball on the right foot but Abrar is quick to reach, stretching his right arm to pick a catch on the rebound. Is there a twist in the tale?

195/4 in 39 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: What a way to bring his half-century! Mitchell takes on Abrar Ahmed, smashing a brilliant sweep shot towards midwicket. He follows it up with another four – a total of three fours in Abrar's 8th over.

195/3 in 38.5 oversx

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Runs off every ball in Naseem's Shah seventh over, as he concedes 7. Daryl Mitchell is nearing his fifty, as New Zealand are now 62 runs away from winning the tri-series.

181/3 in 38 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Last throw of dice from Rizwan? Naseem, who has picked two wickets in his first six overs, is brought into the attack as New Zealand cruise in the run-chase.

174/3 in 37 overs. Target 243

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Latham finds boundaries at will against Shaheen Afridi as the ace pacer concedes 11 off the 34th over of the innings, and Mitchell, too, finds a four as Afridi continued in the 36th. The Kiwis are slowly but surely cruising towards the tri-series win in Karachi.

166/3 in 35.2 overs. Target 243

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Just two runs off Abrar in the 33rd, he is doing his job all right with regards to limiting the runs but Pakistan need wickets. Latham has had two gifts tonight in the form of the missed DRS and the dropped catch, something Pakistan could simply not afford to give considering the target they are defending.

Shaheen returns for his seventh over now.

New Zealand 145/3 in 33 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: That was quite a straighforward catch there and Afridi has no one to blame but himself. He goes full fifth ball of the 32nd over to Mitchell, who misses his drive. The ball darts straight back to Afridi, just as it had off Babar Azam to Nathan Smith earlier today. Only difference being that while Smith held on, the ball deflected off Afridi's hands and on to the stumps. A brief check for run out at the non-striker's end produces nothing. Not looking good for Pakistan at all.

Mitchell on 25 off 38, Latham on 16 off 24

New Zealand 143/3 in 32 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: They need to take every half chance that comes their way at the moment and so this could turn out to be a huge moment, unless Afridi manages to get Latham in the 32nd over for which he has been brought back into the attack now. Abrar's third ball struck Latham's pads as he fails to connect his sweep. Umpire shakes his head, Abrar implores Rizwan to take the review but the Pakistan captain vetoes. Latham ran a leg bye off that ball and then Mitchell hits the fifth ball flat and hard past deep midwicket for a four. Replays at the end of that over showed that the ball was pitching in line with the leg stump and it would've been three reds.

New Zealand need 103 to win off 114.

New Zealand 140/3 in 31 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: We can expect to see him a longer spell now, this is just his fourth over. He replaces Naseem, who had bowled his sixth. Salman has bowled his full 10 overs. He finishes with figures of 1/45.

New Zealand need 110 to win off the last 120 balls and so Pakistan still have a huge job in their hands.

New Zealand 133/3 in 30 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Tom Latham is the new man in and he is on eight off 11, Mitchell on 15 off 27. The return of the precocious Naseem has turned the heat on New Zealand and Agha is doing well to keep the pressure on at the other end. He just got done with his ninth over though.

New Zealand on 124/3 in 28 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Naseem Shah returns into the attack and strikes straightaway, although this was coming as it had become a right struggle for Conway to get any kind of momentum here. Short and outside off for the second ball of the 25th, Conway pulls but gets a top edge, Abrar takes the catch at long leg. But a heart-in-mouth moment for the players and for the fans in the crowd, they had to abruptly pause their celebration when it was announced that the third umpire was checking for no-ball. It takes some time but finally, it is deemed as a legitimate delivery. Pakistan on the prowl here.

Conway c Abrar Ahmed b Naseem Shah 48 (74)

New Zealand 108/3 in 24.2 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Mitchell off strike first ball, Conway goes for the fourth ball, it takes an outside edge and goes past the wicketkeeper for four. A wide next ball and then two runs off the last. Conway on 48 off 73, Mitchell on nine off 15.

New Zealand 107/2 in 24 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: This is getting quite interesting now. It has been 31 deliveries since New Zealand got a boundary. Daryl Mitchell is the new man in, he has scored four runs in eight balls. Conway at the other end on 33 off 56. No alarms for New Zealand yet though, it is all about rebuilding for them with the reassuring presence of Williamson no longer there in the middle.

New Zealand 85/2 in 20 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Salman Agha with the big wicket! He slows down the second ball of the 18th, gets it to turn on Williamson. He is deceived in flight and the stumps are a mess. How about that for a breakthrough. Is this just what they needed to push through?

Williamson b Agha Salman 34 (49)

New Zealand 76/1 in 17.2 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Nothing going the hosts' way at the moment. Salman continues in the 16th over, Conway takes a single off the third ball. Big shout for LBW off the fifth that the umpire turns down but Rizwan takes the review. It kept a little low, Williamson had rocked back but the ball would be going down leg side. Williamson on 33 off 46 at the end of that over, Conway on 26 off 43.

New Zealand 72/1 in 16 overs, need 171 to win from 34 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Well this is not going well at all for Pakistan. Salman Agha bowling spin from the other end. He returns in the 14th for his second and Conway runs a single off the first ball. Williamson then steps out for the third and tonks it down the ground to the boundary, it got there despite coming off the toe-end of the bat. Single next ball, Conway then sends the fifth ball which is quick and wide between point and short third man for another four. Conway on 20 off 38, Williamson on 30 off 39.

New Zealand 63/1 in 14 overs, need 180 to win off 36 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: One gets a feeling that the game is pretty much gone for Pakistan if Williamson or Conway managed to see off the spinners as well. New Zealand are going at a rate of 4.50 but their required rate is only 4.95. So practically no scoreboard pressure at all for now. Williamson on 21 off 27, Conway on 11 off 26.

New Zealand 45/1 in 10 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: It was only a change of ends for Afridi, he bowls the eighth over and so it was Naseem Shah who was taken off. Faheem continues for the ninth, the fifth ball is picked up by Williamson over square leg for the first six of the innings. Taking Naseem off is an even stranger decision, he has been Pakistan's best bowler thus far.

New Zealand 36/1 in 9 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Well this must be slightly bittersweet for Pakistan. Naseem and Shaheen have kept the New Zealand batters absolutely pinned, the run rate is just about 4 at the moment. But then Afridi has been taken off after bowling just three overs. Although it could also be just a change of ends for the Pakistan spearhead.

New Zealand 28/1 in 7 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: For now, all Williamson and Conway can do is show the bat and hope they are ok. Naseem and Afridi are absolutely spitting fire and somehow, the two batters have survived three overs of this. Conway on three off 16, Williamson on two off seven.

India 17/1 in 5 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Oh yes there it is! Pakistan need at least three more of these in the first 10 overs. Big shout for LBW second ball of the second over against Will Young, the umpire gives it and the batter reviews. It just jagged in after pitching and pinged him high on the flap of the back pad. No bat there and it is umpire's call on stumps. The crowd is a cock-a-hoop.

Young lbw b Naseem Shah 5 (7)

New Zealand 5/1 in 1.2 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Shaheen Afridi has the ball in his hands. Will Young and Devon Conway opening for New Zealand. Pakistan need to pull off a bowling masterclass here and they have the players capable of doing just that.

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Birthday boy Michael Bracewell speaks to the host broadcasters. “Pretty decent surface,” he says. "Maybe a bit two-paced, but hopefully it will get betters under lights. The modern game, you have to keep the batters guessing. You have to vary your line and length. There is so much power in the game, very tough for the bowlers.

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Four wickets for Will O'Rourke. He finishes with figures of 4/43 in 9.3 overs. New Zealand are the in-form team here and so this total is definitely below par considering just that. It goes even further down when you consider the fact that dew will play a role later in this innings. Pakistan's only chance at winning this match is taking at least four wickets within the first 10 overs.

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Third time unlucky for Faheem. He tries to tonk the first ball back over the bowler's head, it goes up in the air and Santner takes the catch at mid-off. A very good late surge comes to an end there.

Ashraf c Santner b O'Rourke 22 (21)

Pakistan 241/9 in 49.1 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: What in the world is going on here. Now it is Glenn Phillips, one of the best in the world, who drops Faheem. Nathan Smith bowls the penultimate over, Faheem hits the first ball past point for four. Two singles after that and then Faheem seems to have hit the fourth one straight down the throat of Phillips at cow corner. He juggles the ball thrice and then finally drops it. The batters run two. A single next ball and then Naseem Shah cuts the last ball past deep third for four.

Pakistan 241/8 in 49 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Oh well how about it! New Zealand have been perfect in the field today but then Duffy has dropped a sitter off the fifth ball of the 48th by O'Rourke. To make matters worse, it trickles behind him for four too. It was a short ball from O'Rourke, Faheem pulls it straight to Duffy. The ball pops out of his hands.

Pakistan 228/8 in 48 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: We are properly into tail-ender land for Pakistan. Naseem Shah on two off three balls, Faheem Ashraf on seven off nine. Santner will be coming up next to bowl his final over of this match. He has unbelievable figures of 2/17.

Pakistan 207/8 in 45 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Khushdil Shah tries to get a big one off Santner, against whom no one seems to be able to score today. Top edge and caught at deep midwicket. Well, one could argue that Pakistan need to go for as many big shots as possible but maybe, just maybe Khushdil could've seen Santner off. There still would've been about six overs left without him, with Santner still having one more over in hand after this one.

Khushdil Shah c Phillips b Santner 7 (18)

Pakistan 200/7 in 43 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Tahir looking to hit that fifth ball of the 42nd from Duffy over midwicket, it is miscued though and goes straight to Kane Williamson there. Another wicket falls right when Pakistan were starting to build a partnership.

Tayyab Tahir c Williamson b Duffy 38 (33)

Pakistan 195/6 in 41.5 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Tayyab Tahir giving the fans in Karachi a reason to cheer. Tahir smashes Duffy's third ball of the 40th down the ground for a six. Two runs off the next two balls and then Tahir scoops the last ball past short fine leg for a four. He has moved to 26 off 26 at the end of that over.

Pakistan 181/5 in 40 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Pakistan have lost half their side in the 37th over. Bracewell tosses the fifth ball of the 37th up, Agha tries a reverse sweep. It takes the top edge and Duffy stretches to his right to take a sharp catch. Agha too can't accelarate after staying out there throughout the middle overs. Pakistan have a lot to do now with very few wickets in hand.

Salman Agha c Duffy b Bracewell 45 (65)

Pakistan 161/5 in 36.5 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: These are not easy conditions to bat on and so considering that, Pakistan have got themselves to a fairly decent score here. However, one has to consider the dew that could come in later, which really does raise questions on why in the world Rizwan chose to bat first. Tayyab Tahir hit the winning runs with a four off the one ball he faced in the last match. He has a lot more to do today. He has ascored nine in 12 balls thus far, Salman Agha at the other end on 43 off 60.

Pakistan 156/4 in 35 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Will O'Rourke does the job again for the Kiwis. It was a cross-seam delivery, Rizwan tries to send it down to third man for a single probably. The ball jags in, takes his inside edge and then the stumps are rattled. And so the partnership ends on 88 off 120 balls and Rizwan's innings ends up being a sluggish one indeed, a strike rate of 60.52.

Rizwan b O'Rourke 46 (76)

Pakistan 142/4 in 31.5 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: On the one hand, Pakistan are still going at a run rate of just 4.06 which is encouraging for New Zealand. On the other, they have maintained exactly this and these two have now stayed out there for 109 balls and put up 68 runs. Which is not good news for New Zealand at all.

Rizwan on 32 off 70, Salman on 34 off 48.

Pakistan 122/3 in 30 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Quick bouncer third ball of the 30th by O'Rourke, Rizwan is a little late on the pull and the ball clatters to into his helmet. The physio runs out but Rizwan seems fine though. He takes his helmet off with a smile on his face. Concussion protocols are done, the helmet is checked and Rizwan is good to go. He is a tough cookie, the Pakistan captain. Three runs after that in the over. Rizwan on 32 off 70 balls, Salman on 34 off 48 balls.

Pakistan 122/3 in 30 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: The New Zealand bowls a maiden in the 26th over. He has given just 11 runs away in six overs! Nathan Smith continues from the other end, Singles off the second and fourth balls and then the batters run two with a lofted shot leg side from Salman falling just short of deep fine leg.

Agha on 29 off 39, Rizwan on 28 off 61.

Pakistan 112/3 in 27 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Pakistan are 108/3 in 25 overs. Rizwan on 27 off 53 balls, Salman on 26 off 35 balls. Their partnership has reached 54 in 80 balls. Regardless of what happens in this match, Pakistan would be very happy that their captain and vice-captain have struck up a really strong stand in the run-up to the Champions Trophy.

Pakistan 108/3 in 25 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Well this is ominous for New Zealand. Glenn Phillips in the 23rd over, he sends the fourth ball in the slot for Rizwan and the Pakistan skipper sends it careening to the boundary with a sumptuous cover drive. He takes a single next ball and then Salman absolute blasts it over wide long off for a six. They couldn't do it again, could they?

Pakistan 96/3 in 23 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Salman on 16 off 27, Rizwan on 12 off 37. New Zealand doing pretty well to contain the two batters at the moment but there hasn't too much in terms of offense from them. Just 2 runs off that 20th over from Santner. An important difference between this situation versus the match against South Africa was that on the latter instance, Babar and Fakhar had put up a really strong and quick opening stand. That hasn't happened today and so Rizwan and Salman certainly have more work to do.

Pakistan 78/3 in 20 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: Mitchell Santner brought himself on in the 16th over, Michael Bracewell bowls his fifth from the other end after that and so we are seeing spin from both ends. No boundaries for the last 3 overs now but Rizwan and Salman don't look too perturbed. Both sides just feeling around at the moment. Rizwan on nine off 27 , Salman on five off 13.

Pakistan 68/3 in 17 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Tri-Series Final: It is down to Rizwan and Salman again. They are as cautious as they were in the early parts of their epic stand against South Africa. Rizwan on eight off 25, Salman on three off nine. The run rate has now come down to 4.06. Pakistan won't mind that one bit though. Conservation of wickets is the priority at the moment. This is ODI cricket, not T20Is.

Pakistan 65/3 in 16 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand Live Score, Tri-Series Final: Oh he has just hit it right back to the bowler! Babar can't believe it and probably no one else at the ground can either! Smith pitches up the fifth delivery on off stump, having been hit for four off a full ball the previous delivery, Babar checks his on drive but the ball goes back to the bowler in the air. Smith takes the catch gleefully. Babar hangs around for a second, looking absolutely flabbergasted, pin-drop silence in the stadium.

Babar c & b Smith 29 (34)

Pakistan 54/3 in 11.5 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand Live Score, Tri-Series Final: A shared contest thus far. Fakhar scored some quick ones early doors before falling to some absolutely brilliant fast bowling by Will O'Rourke. Babar Azam then took charge but Saud Shakeel was done in by Michael Bracewell. Pakistan have gone at a fairly below par run rate of 4.80 in the first 10 overs in the end but New Zealand how important it is to break this stand as early as possible.

Babar on 24 off 24, Rizwan on nought off eight.

Pakistan 48/2 in 10 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand Live Score, Tri-Series Final: Through the gates and that's that for Saud Shakeel. Skids it in from around the stumps, it speeds up off the pitch. Shakeel cramped for room as he tries to cut it, it was not short enough for that shot either. The off stump is rattled. Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan walks out to join his predecessor in the ninth over itself.

Saud Shakeel b Bracewell 8 (14)

Pakistan 46/2 in 8.3 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand Live Score, Tri-Series Final: The former Pakistan captain equals Hashim Amla as the fastest to 6000 ODI runs. He smashes the third ball of the seventh through the covers to get to the milestone. Two runs off the next ball and then Babar whips away the last ball of that over past backward square leg for four more.

Babar is racing along all of a sudden, he is on 19 off 21, Saud Shakeel at the other end on six off seven.

Pakistan 39/1 in 7 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand Live Score, Tri-Series Final: Duffy continues in the fifth over, he oversteps fourth ball after Babar blocks out the first three. The free-hit delivery is banged in short, Babar dispatches it with disdain over midwicket for a six. He defends the next two balls as well, Babar is on nine runs off 15, he is one run away from becoming the joint fastest to 6000 ODI runs.

Pakistan 23/1 in 5 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand Live Score, Tri-Series Final: Fakhar chips the fifth ball of the fourth straight to square leg, O'Rourke gets the breakthrough. O'Rourke kept pushing Zaman back with his hard lengths throughout the over and then sends one onto the batter's pads. Fakhar clips it off the back foot and it goes right into the hands of Will Young. The fielder didn't need to move a centimetre either side for that.

Zaman c Young b O'Rourke 10 (15)

Pakistan 16/1 in 3.5 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand Live Score, Tri-Series Final: Babar manages a single off the third ball. Then O'Rourke beats Fakhar twice in a row before the batter leaves the last ball. How about that for an over!

Pakistan 11/0 in 2 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand Live Score, Tri-Series Final: Duffy starts from over the stumps. Zaman flicks it away and the batters run two. Duffy overpitches the third ball on the pads, Zaman nails his timing on the flick but it is in the air and there is a fielder at deep square. It is a tough chance though, flat and quick, and the fielder drops it. The ball trickles behind him to the boundary as well. Fakhar then blocks out the next ball, a 140kph scorcher full on the stumps. Then Duffy errs on the pads again and Fakhar clips it past deep square leg for four.

Pakistan vs New Zealand Live Score, Tri-Series Final: All right Fakhar Zaman facing up against Jacon Duffy with Babar Azam at the other end. We are a go in this final in Karachi!

Pakistan vs New Zealand Live Score, Tri-Series Final: New Zealand are in a huddle and we can see Pakistan openers Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman getting ready. Zaman had ripped New Zealand to shreds in Bengaluru in the 2023 World Cup remember.

Pakistan vs New Zealand Live Score, Tri-Series Final: Bazid Khan and Vernon Philander doing the pitch report today. They say that the pitch looks slightly different today than it did for the run feast between South Africa and Pakistan. There are a couple of dry spots, might be two paced and scoring might be lower. It'll be better at night with dew. Don't think the surface will slow up that much in the evening.

Pakistan vs New Zealand Live Score, Tri-Series Final: Matt Henry and Ben Sears are out. Jacob Duffy and Nathan Smith in. Rachin Ravindra remains out

New Zealand: Will Young, Devon Conway, Kane Williamson, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham(w), Glenn Phillips, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner(c), Nathan Smith, Jacob Duffy, William O'Rourke

Pakistan vs New Zealand Tri-Series Final Live Score: Rizwan tosses it up, Santner calls it wrong and Pakistan are opting to bat first.

Pakistan vs New Zealand Tri-Series Final Live Score: New Zealand have been almost flawless in this series. They started with a 78-run win in Pakistan and then chased down 305 against South Africa to win that match by six wickets. Both those games were in Lahore though and so it will be interesting to see how they adapt to the change in venues.

Pakistan vs New Zealand Tri-Series Final Live Score: As they usually do, Pakistan have announced their playing XI before the match.

Here is how they are lining up today: Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan(w/c), Salman Agha, Tayyab Tahir, Khushdil Shah, Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Abrar Ahmed

Pakistan vs New Zealand Tri-Series Final Live Score: Will Young, Devon Conway, Kane Williamson, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham(w), Glenn Phillips, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner(c), Matt Henry, Ben Sears, William ORourke, Rachin Ravindra, Mark Chapman, Nathan Smith, Lockie Ferguson
