Three matches and three commanding wins for New Zealand as they win the tri-series in style. The players are posing with the trophy. Up next will be the Champions Trophy and it will be these two teams taking on each other in the opener. That's all we have for now. Until next time, it's goodbye from Sagar Chawla along with Mukesh.
Santner | NZ captain: Yeah I think so. Nice to win tonight. Different guys stepping up at different times is good. Was a bit two-paced. Was about trying to put it in a good spot for a long time and build pressure. When you swing the ball liks that, it's a problem for batters (talking about O'Rourke). Duff bowled in good areas as well in partnership with O'Rourke. He's pretty relieved as well (Latham). We know how good he is, was just a matter of time. Nice to have different guys firing.
Rizwan | Pakistan captain: We batted first because we thought the pitch would be difficult. And it was. Credit to their bowlers. Salman and I had to build the partnership after losing 3 wickets. We were looking at 260. I got out at the wrong time. Need to improve in the field. It's one department where we have to improve. Abrar is brilliant in the field, the others also have to catch up. Wanted to take the pressure of batting first as well.
Salman Agha | Player of the Series: I'm batting well and I'm happy. But at the end of the day we didn't win. We'll focus on CT now. This is something you can expect in Karachi. One wicket is going to be a belter and next one is going to be slower, and the ball was gripping in this pitch. I love batting so I'll go with batting (what he loves doing most?). It was a challenging pitch to bat on. Was a 280-290 kind of wicket. My wicket and Rizwan's wicket made it 240, otherwise it could've been different story.
Will O'Rourke | Player of the Match: There was a nice breeze across the ground, helped me push the ball across the left-hander. We thought it was two-paced. Plan was heavy length and for it to hold up hopefully. The boys have been playing nicely. Going into the tournament with momentum is obviously good for us. Not too sure about that, I'll try my best (can he bowl faster?)
Time for the presentations..
The target of 243 wasn't huge but Pakistan did fight hard, especially in the first half of the chase.
21:37 Local Time, 16:37 GMT, 22:07 IST: New Zealand way too good yet again.
