New Zealand: In the Third and final test match between Pakistan and New Zealand, Pakistan bat First. Once again Pakistani batting lineup was in trouble and struggling against New Zealand attack. Middle order failed once again but Farhat stayed there and faced Kiwies boldly. He socred his Ton in fashion and Bat Carry for Pakistan and become the Fourth Player for Pakistan to do such a job. Pakistan scored 223 in First innings. In the reply New Zealand batted well in their First inning. Once Again Their Captain proved his batting and lead his side to respected Score. Pak Leg Spinner took seven important wickets including one drop catch of captian on his own Bowling. With the Lead of 248 it looked pakistan will lose the match as they usually do. But in the Second innings Opening Batsmen Played Their role and lead the score to above hundred at first wicket. later on Captain Muhammad Yousuf and Akmal Played well Captain scored 89. This chameleon game changed character yet again late on the fourth day. Mohammad Yousuf was serenely moving towards what seemed an inevitable hundred when he fell to crack open the game to several thrilling possibilities. New Zealand hold the advantage and are the frontrunners to pull off something special in Napier, but with its frail batting line-up pitted against the mercurial Pakistan bowling, who knows what can happen if the target is around 200. It looks test will end in Draw.
