Preview
Pakistan and New Zealand are giving it all in the five-match T20I series. The series is currently locked at 1-1 as the final two games move to Lahore. While the Kiwis have sent in their second-string squad, this series is a great chance for Pakistan to sort their team for the T20I World Cup.
Pakistan (PAK) won the second T20I with ease but were soundly beaten in the third game. The loss was soundly called out by many of the big names in Pakistan cricket. Babar Azam will want his side to bowl better with the T20I World Cup just around the corner.
New Zealand (NZ), despite fielding a second-string side, was able to beat the Pakistani team. It was a huge win, with Mark Chapman spearheading the win with his brilliant 87 not out, along with good contributions from the other batters.

Pitch Report
Captains
Babar Azam – After the rain affected first two games, Babar Azam got to bat during the third game in Rawalpindi. His 37 runs came off 29 balls and gave his team a good start. The 29-year-old will want to score more and get into thick run scoring form in the next few matches.
The 29-year-old was the leading run getter for the visitors with an unbeaten 87 from just 42 balls. This was his 8th T20I fifty and Mark Chapman showed the New Zealand selectors why he should be considered as a permanent member of the side.
Pakistan Cricket fans will be happy that Shadab Khan has finally found form. The 25-year-old smashed an unbeaten 41 which came off just 20 balls to help his side reach 178 on the board. While he couldn’t pick a wicket with the ball, it is a reassuring sight for many Pakistan fans when Shadab Khan is batting well.
