New Zealand and Pakistan are set to face each others for final 5th T20I at Christchurch's Hagley Oval. New Zealand stands on the brink of a series clean sweep, having emerged victorious in all four previous encounters. The Kiwis, in dominant form, are eager to secure another triumph and maintain their unbeaten record in the series.
Reflecting on the recent clash at the same venue, New Zealand's decision to field after winning the toss set the tone. Despite an early wicket with the dismissal of Saim Ayub, Pakistan found stability through the partnership of Babar and Rizwan. Although facing challenges in the middle overs, Mohammed Rizwan's unbeaten 90 propelled Pakistan to a competitive total of 158 runs.
During the Kiwi chase, Pakistani captain Shaheen Afridi showcased his skill in swing bowling, picking up crucial wickets. However, the experience of Glenn Phillips and Daryl Mitchell turned the tide, steering New Zealand to victory with seven wickets in hand and 11 balls to spare.
With this backdrop, New Zealand is poised for the 5th T20I with determination to clinch the match and achieve a perfect series sweep, while Pakistan seeks a turnaround to avoid a series whitewash. The stage is set for an exciting and decisive encounter at Hagley Oval.
