New Zealand thrashed Pakistan by 183 runs in the third one-day international in Dunedin yesterday.
The overwhelming win gave New Zealand an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the five-match series.
New Zealand made 257 with Kane Williamson 73 and Ross Taylor 52.
Pakistan in reply were all out for 74 in the 28th over. Trent Boult took five for 17.
Pakistan might be the current Champions Trophy holders, but over the last two years, they have conceded the highest score in the format's history - 444 at Edgbaston. Yesterday, in Dunedin, they came perilously close to posting the lowest ODI score when they reeled at 32 for 8 in a listless batting performance.
