New Zealand vs Pakistan 3rd ODI, LIVE Score Updates: Rhys Mariu scored a maiden half-century as New Zealand posted 264-8 off 42 overs Saturday in the rain-shortened third one-day international against Pakistan in Mount Maunganui.

Captain Michael Bracewell also surpassed 50 as the home side set a competitive total in their bid to sweep the three-match series. The contest was reduced to 42 overs each after a wet outfield at Bay Oval delayed the start of play by nearly two hours. Opener Mariu, playing just his second international match, scored a composed 58 off 61 balls, featuring six fours and two sixes.
