NZ vs PAK Match Preview

New Zealand and Pakistan will face off again on Friday evening in Christchurch in the fourth T20I of the series. The Black Caps have already clinched the series, winning the first three games, including a 45-run victory in Dunedin on Wednesday. New Zealand has never won a full home T20I series against Pakistan. Even though they are now without their usual captain, they have been the best team throughout, and few expect them to lose this match. Pakistan has been defeated by 46 runs, 21 runs, and 45 runs in this series thus far, and each time they have found one New Zealand batter capable of scoring big against their bowling attack. They have been competitive in this series and have a chance to win in Christchurch if they perform well.

NZ vs PAK Probable Winners:

New Zealand will be the favorites to win. So far, the Kiwis have performed admirably both with the bat and the ball. Pakistan has been good in patches, but aside from Babar and Fakhar Zaman, the rest have looked ordinary. Their bowling and fielding have both been poor. Considering the team combination, New Zealand is expected to win this match.
