Pcb announces schedule for new zealand’s tour of pakistan.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Wednesday announced the schedule of New Zealand’s tour of Pakistan comprising five T20 internationals (T20I) matches in April, the cricket board said in a press release.

According to the press release, the Blackcaps will arrive in Islamabad on April 14 and will play the first three games of the tour on in Pindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi. Both sides would then move on to play the remaining two T20Is of series in Lahore.

The series between the sides will start on April 18 to April 27.

The Kiwis will be travelling to Pakistan for their third visit in a span of 17 months. Their first visit in December 2022 after 18 years saw two test draws while New Zealand won the ODI series 2-1. In April last year, the five-match T20I series ended in a 2-2 draw and Pakistan dominated the visitors in ODIs, claiming the series 4-1.

Pakistan vs New Zealand, 3rd T20I - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

That's all from out side for tonight. We'll be back on 25th April (Thursday) for the coverage of the 4th T20I. Ciao for now!

Michael Bracewell: Really happy with the guys, they got the learning from night last and played better today. Impressed with our debutants. It's a big occasion playing in front of such a big crowd. The guys will get more experience going forward. The way Sodhi bowled, he was outstanding. The guys at the back end brought us back in the game. I think the partnership between Chapman and Foxcroft was outstanding. Chappy (Chapman) has been outstanding for us.

Babar Azam: We were 10 runs short unfortunately. I think Shadab recovered well and built a good partnership. I think 180-190 was a par score according to me. We tried to play according to the situation. Shadab (Khan) executed his plans and played his natural game. He played as per the demand of the situation. We started well in the powerplay. If you drop catches it will cost you. We tried to bowl according to the plans. We will try to improve and bowl better in the next game.

Chapman: Always nice to come here, happy to level the series. Pakistan have a great attack but it (target) was quite chaseable. It was an outstanding bowling performance by us. Yesterday we lost wickets in clumps and it (pitch) was a tad slower. It was great to have that 100-plus partnership with him (Foxcroft.) We know Pakistan's death bowling is outstanding but we managed to come out on top tonight.

22:37 Local Time, 17:37 GMT, 23:07 IST: NZ bounce back in an emphatic way to level the series 1-1. They lost last night by 7 wickets but they have managed to win the third T20I and have levelled the 5-match T20I series, I repeat. NZ elected to bowl first earlier in the day and although Pakistan had a good partnership between Babar and Ayub for the first wicket, they were not really able to make the most out of the given situation. There were a couple of handy partnerships as Pakistan ended up with a challenging total, however, it was never going to be enough. The NZ openers got them off a flying start and once they departed it was that man - Mark Chapman who ruled the rest of the evening. His innings of 87* consisted of nine boundaries and four maximums as NZ chased down the target in the 19th over. As clinical as it could get. Stay around for the presentations..

Shaheen Afridi to Chapman, 1 run, NZ win by 7 wickets! Chapman gets an outside edge to third man for a single and although it's not a convicing shot, his knock fo 87* has been the highlight of the day

Shaheen Afridi to Chapman, 2 runs, yorker length ball as Chapman squeezes it to long-on for a brace. Just 1 required

Shaheen Afridi [3.0-0-34-0] is back into the attack

Abbas Afridi to Neesham, FOUR , on the shorter side, Neesham swivel pulls this away to the deep backward square leg fence. NZ only 3 runs away from an easy win

Abbas Afridi to Neesham, no run, yorker length ball outside off, Neesham can't squeeze it out

Abbas Afridi to Neesham, no run, gets beaten on the inside edge as Neesham tries to work this away

Abbas Afridi to Neesham, no run, short of a length around off, Neesham defends it from within the crease

Abbas Afridi to Neesham, 2 runs, back of a length outside off, Neesham steers it through backward point for a brace

James Neesham, left handed bat, comes to the crease

Abbas Afridi to Foxcroft, out Caught&Bowled!! What is T20 cricket without some drama. A short and quick ball on off, Foxcroft goes for a pull, gets a top edge that has been taken by the bowler comfortably. Won't make a difference but something for Pakistan fans to cheer about. Foxcroft c and b Abbas Afridi 31(29) [4s-1 6s-1]

Abbas Afridi to Foxcroft, THATS OUT!! Caught&Bowled!!

Abbas Afridi to Foxcroft, wide , sprays a wide ball down the leg-side again
