Guptill shines as NZ edge Pakistan for win: 3rd ODI (Auckland)

New Zealand took the series 2-0 by winning the 3rd ODI narrowly by three wickets with two balls to spare in their duel with Pakistan.

After Guptill smashed 82, New Zealand needed 53 runs off 45 balls after rain that set a revised D/L target of 263. Earlier, a 134-run third-wicket stand between Mohammad Hafeez and Babar Azam has Pakistan on target for 350 before a collapse left them bowled out for 290 in 47.3 overs.

New Zealand 265 for 7 (Williamson 84, Guptill 82) beat Pakistan 290 (Azam 83, Hafeez 76) by three wickets (D/L method).
