Toss New Zealand won the toss and chose to field vs Pakistan
New Zealand have won the toss and elected to field first in the third of five ODIs against Pakistan, being played in Karachi.
New Zealand, who need to win this one to stay alive in the series after losing the first two games, have rung in the changes. Cole McConchie makes his ODI debut, while Tom Blundell comes in to bolster the top of the order. Adam Milne also returns, while Chad Bowes, James Neesham and Rachin Ravindra drop to the bench.
Pakistan have made three changes to their line-up as well. Shadab Khan returns to the side after missing the second ODI, while Usama Mir has been benched. They have also continued to rotate the fast bowlers – Ihsanullah and Haris Rauf have been rested, while Shaheen Shah Afridi and Mohammad Wasim are in.
This is the first game of the series at the National Stadium in Karachi, which will host the last two games of the series too.
