PAK vs NZ 4th T20I- Match Preview:
Game number four of the five-match T20I series between the home team Pakistan and New Zealand will take place on Thursday at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
The home team Pakistan has a 2-1 lead in the series. We witnessed a thrilling encounter in the third T20I as the visiting team New Zealand won by 4 runs.
After winning the toss and opting to bat first, New Zealand had a slow start as they managed only 35 runs in the powerplay and also lost the wicket of Chad Bowes early. Latham had scored only 19 off 21 deliveries while Will Young had a slow start too.
At the end of the 10th over, New Zealand were 64/2. Skipper Tom Latham, along with Daryl Mitchell, stitched a 65-run partnership for the 3rd wicket. Latham struck a 49-ball 64 while Daryl Mitchell and Mark Chapman came up with useful knocks down the order to help New Zealand to 163/5.
In the chase, Babar Azam fell in the second over of Adam Milne, who started with a wicket-maiden. Mohammad Rizwan was run out soon after and Pakistan were 35/2 at the end of the powerplay. New Zealand continued to strike at regular intervals to leave the hosts struggling at 88/7 at one point in the chase before Iftikhar led a brilliant fightback, scoring a 24-ball 60 which included six maximums.
The hosts, needing 15 off the final over, remained in the hunt as Iftikhar struck a six and a four off James Neesham. But his dismissal off the fourth ball and Haris Rauf’s wicket off the final ball meant that Pakistan lost by 4 runs.
The visitors would look to level the series in the next game. Meanwhile, the home team would look to seal the series.
