New Zealand has already won the series by winning the first two T20Is.
Pakistan started their chase of the 174-run target with Muhammad Rizwan and Haider Ali looking good in the middle. However, Ali’s innings was cut short due to a brilliant catch by Daryl Mitchell who was on the field as a substitute fielder.

It was the sixth over of the Pakistani chase bowled by Scott Kuggeleijn when a leading edge from Haider’s bat flew to covers, where Mitchell dived and plucked the ball one-handed behind his back. Mitchell was ecstatic after the catch, as were his teammates who rushed towards him to congratulate him.
