New Zealand batter Devon Conway believes the upcoming match between Pakistan and South Africa will be very exciting, as everyone will support Pakistan due to their status as the host team. 

Speaking in the mixed media zone after securing a spot in the Tri-Nation Series final, Conway said, "Pakistan is a very good team, and I think we will face Pakistan in the final of the Tri-Nation Series."

He added, "All the players in our team are in good form, and it feels great when you’re performing well."

Conway explained their strategy, saying, "We planned to play slowly in the beginning to save the wicket, then build good partnerships in the middle to make things easier. There was no need to take any big risks."

Regarding his teammate Kane Williamson, Conway stated, "I’ve seen some great innings from Kane Williamson, but this one was really special. Kane has a class of his own when it comes to batting, and it was a great experience to bat with him at the other end."

Conway also shared his feelings about missing out his century, saying, "I’m not disappointed about not completing my century. I believe winning the match is more important."

The left-handed batter, who played a fantastic knock of 97 runs against South Africa in the Tri-Nation Series, mentioned, "With all top-order players in good form, selectors must find it challenging to form the playing XI, and it will be a tough situation for the selectors moving forward."

The third match of the Tri-Nation Series will be played between Pakistan and South Africa, with the winner of the match facing New Zealand in the final on February 14 at National Bank Stadium, Karachi.
