Pakistan (PAK) will be hosting New Zealand (NZ) in the fourth match at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on April 20. New Zealand won the third match by four runs to avoid a series loss after heavy defeats in the opening two games of the five-match series. Tom Latham played a captain's knock by smashing 64 off 49 to help New Zealand score 163/5 while batting first. The star pacers Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf picked two wickets each while spinner Shadab Khan took one for Pakistan. 

Pakistan lost their openers Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan early and the middle order also struggled against New Zealand's pace attack. Iftikhar Ahmed, playing at the no.8 position, smashed 60 off 24 to drag Pakistan to the wire but James Neesham struck late to bowl out the hosts on 159 runs. Neesham took three wickets for 38 while Adam Milne and Rachin Ravindra took two wickets each to help the Kiwis clinch a deserving win. This was New Zealand's first T20I win against New Zealand in the last five encounters as Pakistan enter the upcoming game as favorites to seal the series.

Player Picks

9
C

Babar Azam PAK | BAT

The star Pakistani skipper scored just one run in the third T20I after smashing an unbeaten century in the second match. He is leading the scoring chart with 111 runs in this series after a sensational campaign in PSL 2023.

9
C

Mohammad Rizwan PAK | WK

The top-ranked Pakistani batter scored six runs before getting a run out in the third game. Rizwan was the leading run-scorer in PSL 2023 and has carried out the form in international cricket as he smashed a brilliant fifty in the second match.

8.5
C

Daryl Mitchell NZ | ALL

The experienced batting all-rounder scored crucial 33 off 26 with the help of two fours and one six in the last game. Daryl has been a key batter for his team in the absence of senior stars involved in IPL 2023.

8.5

Haris Rauf PAK | BOWL

The in-form speedster dismissed Tom Latham and James Neesham as he bowled a sensational spell in the third game. Rauf has been in red-hot form in this series with 10 wickets from just three innings so far.

7.5

Tom Latham NZ | WK

The Kiwi skipper played a match-winning knock of 67 off 49 with the help of seven fours and two sixes in the last game. Latham has scored 103 runs from three innings in the series and should be in the Dream11 Team at any cost.

8.5

Shadab Khan PAK | ALL

The star spin all-rounder dismissed Will Young in the last game while conceding 34 runs and scored 16 off 19 in the third game. Shadab has scored 21 runs and has taken three wickets in this series so far.

8.5

Adam Milne NZ | BOWL

The experienced New Zealand pacer continued his good form as he dismissed Babar Azam and Shadab Khan in the last game. Milne has taken four wickets from two innings in this series and costs only 8.5 credits in the Dream11 Team.

7.5

Iftikhar Ahmed PAK | ALL

The Pakistani big-hitter smashed 60 off just 24 with the help of three fours and six sixes in the last game to drag Pakistan to the last over. Iftikhar also smashed 33 off 19 in the second game and has scored 177 runs from his last five overall T20 games.

7

Rachin Ravindra NZ | ALL

The young spin all-rounder scored 8* off 6 while batting second then took two wickets while conceding just 28 runs in this game.

Will Young

NZ | BAT

The middle-order batter continues to struggle for the big knocks as he scored just 17 runs in the last game. Young has scored just 28 runs from three innings in this series so far.

9

Naseem Shah

PAK | BOWL

The young pacer has struggled for consistency lately as he bowled another wicket-less spell in the last game. Naseem has taken just three wickets from last five overall games and should be avoided for the Dream11 Team selection.
