Pakistan will take on New Zealand in the 5th and final T20I of the New Zealand Tour of Pakistan 2024 at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore on Saturday (April 27). The 5-match T20I Series has been a roller coaster ride so far. As the first game was abandoned and then the Hosts took a 1-0 lead. But then this New Zealand Side bounced back with a back-to-back victory to take a 2-1 lead in the series. So, the hosts will look for the victory and draw the 5-match-T20I Series.

In the 4th T20I, New Zealand posted 178/7 on the board after being asked to bat first. Tim Robinson scored 51 runs off 36 balls. Abbas Afridi picked up three wickets.
