The Babar-led team needs to win the final game set for tomorrow in order to stay in first place. If not, they will revert to the second position.
On Sunday at the National Bank Cricket Arena, Pakistan and New Zealand will play their fifth and final one-day international match. In order to maintain their top ranking in ODI cricket, the Green Shirts will be trying to accomplish a clean sweep.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
