The last match of the ongoing Pakistan tour of New Zealand 2025 will be played on April 5. The home side, Kiwis are leading the series 2-0 and can inflict a whitewash. However, the Asian side are looking to avoid the same and end the horrific series on a high. However, the chance of Pakistan winning is pretty less, given the frailties of the team.
Whether they bat or bowl first in this series (T20I or ODI), they have found ways to falter. Talking about the ODI series, the Green Brigade has batted second in both games and started well with the ball. However, their bowlers have let the match slip out of their hands.
