Pakistan will take on New Zealand in the fifth and last game of the five-match T20I series on Monday (April 24) at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Pakistan won the first two games comfortably. But New Zealand bounced back in the third T20I to register a victory by a mere margin of four runs. New Zealand scored 163 runs for the loss of five wickets in 20 overs with the help of a half-century from Tom Latham. Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf picked two wickets each, while Shadab Khan took one wicket. Pakistan lost a couple of early wickets and had a slow start, as they could only make 54 runs in the first ten overs. They scored at a quick rate after the completion of the 15th over but fell short of the target by four runs. The fourth T20I was called off due to a hailstorm.
