In this article, we will be analyzing the New Zealand vs Pakistan Match Prediction for the 4th T20I. New Zealand have decimated Pakistan so far in the ongoing five-match T20I series. The hosts won all three matches and will now eye a step further for a white-wash. Pakistan, under the leadership of Shaheen Shah Afridi, has struggled massively. The bowlers have failed to put on a show, while only Babar Azam has been consistent with the bat. Ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup, there’s a lot of room for improvement as Pakistan need more consistent players who can deliver in crunch situations.
New Zealand, on the other hand, had no problems whatsoever in all three wins. Even with some of the notable names like Kane Williamson and Trent Boult missing, the Kiwis were comfortable in their approach. Opener Finn Allen has been sensational so far in the series and will once again be important in the fourth T20I on January 19 at Hagley Oval in Christchurch.
