New Zealand secured the tri-series title with a commanding 5-wicket victory over Pakistan in Karachi, despite missing key players due to injuries. Will O’Rourke’s 4-wicket haul and Mitchell Santner’s spin control restricted Pakistan to 242. In response, Devon Conway and Kane Williamson laid a solid foundation before Daryl Mitchell’s dynamic 56 steered New Zealand home with 28 balls to spare. Pakistan’s batting struggled, with Rizwan’s 46 and Agha’s 45 being the highlights. This win sends a strong message ahead of their Champions Trophy clash at the same venue on Wednesday.
