India TV NewsHighlights The final see-sawed through both innings. Powered by Mohammad Nawaz and Haider Ali with the bat, Pakistan chased down 164 vs New Zealand with three balls to go and won the Tri-series ahead of the all-important T20 World Cup. After his 45 from 20 balls in Pakistan's seven-wicket win over Bangladesh a day earlier, Nawaz established himself as a key member of the Pakistan middle order heading into the Twenty20 World Cup in Australia. The final see-sawed through both innings: New Zealand was on target for a more substantial score before faltering against Pakistan's late bowling and finishing with 163-7. His previous best score in the series had been 31 in New Zealand's first match against Pakistan and it had been seven innings since he last passed 50.
