New Zealand, which leads the series 2-0, made three changes: Tim Seifert replaced Kane Williamson, and Matt Henry and Lockie Ferguson replaced Adam Milne and Ben Sears.
Pakistan declared their XI on the eve of the game, citing Abbas’ low-grade abdominal wall muscle soreness. Bringing in Zaman would bolster their death-overs lineup, and Jamal must have lost his spot after allowing 97 runs in the first two games.
The hosts also had to make one alteration when Williamson was ruled out due to a hamstring injury sustained during the second T20I match. The other two changes were in the speed attack, despite Milne’s four-for in the second game.
