Tri-Series ODI Final LIVE: Pakistan Launch Counter-Attack, This Star On Fire

Pakistan vs New Zealand, Tri-Nation Series Final LIVE Updates: Pakistan won the toss and opted to bat against New Zealand in the final of the tri-nation series. Tayyab Tahir launched a counter-attacking onslaught on the Kiwi bowlers after Pakistan had been reduced to 161/5. Babar Azam looked in good touch, and became the fastest batter to 6,000 ODI runs, reaching it in 123 innings. However, he fell for 29, leaving Pakistan at 54/3. It was the pair of captain Mohammad Rizwan and vice-captain Salman Ali Agha who had to build the rescue act, but the pair got out in the 40s. Pakistan and New Zealand will face off five days later again, on February 19, in the opening game of the Champions Trophy, meaning that this match could give a mental edge of the winner.
