New Zealand (NZ) and Pakistan (PAK) are set to clash in the final T20I of the five-match series at Christchurch's Hagley Oval on Sunday, January 21. The hosts have already secured a 4-0 lead and aim to complete a series whitewash. After establishing an unassailable 3-0 lead, New Zealand sealed the fourth T20I with a seven-wicket margin, extending their winning streak against Pakistan. In their pursuit of 158 runs, New Zealand recovered from an early setback, thanks to Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips. Batting first, Pakistan posted 158 runs in 20 overs, with Mohammad Rizwan's unbeaten 90 being the standout performance.

New Zealand faced a shaky start, losing top-order batter Finn Allen, Tim Seifert, and Will Young within three overs of the powerplay. However, Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips orchestrated a remarkable comeback, forging an unbeaten 139-run partnership for the fourth wicket. Mitchell contributed 72 runs off 44 deliveries, while Phillips scored 70 off 52 deliveries, guiding their team to victory in the 19th over with 11 balls to spare. Despite Pakistan skipper Shaheen Afridi's early bowling assault, the other bowlers failed to make a significant impact, resulting in their defeat.

NZ vs PAK: Pitch Report

The straight boundary at Hagley Oval is relatively shorter, prompting batsmen to target that area. The venue has not witnessed many high-scoring matches, suggesting that a competitive game is likely in store. The pitch at Hagley Oval doesn't offer much assistance to spinners, being slow in nature. Finger spinners can still prove to be effective. With longer boundaries, especially in the cow's corner, the batter would prefer targeting the straight boundaries.
