Preview :

Pakistan (PAK) will be hosting New Zealand (NZ) in the fourth T20I with hopes of sealing the five-match series at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Thursday, April 20. Having sustained huge defeats in the opening two games, New Zealand secured a narrow four-run victory in the third match. Tom Latham scored his first T20I fifty against Pakistan and Daryl Mitchell added crucial 33 runs to help New Zealand score 163/5 while batting first.

Pakistan's star openers Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan departed early but Iftikhar Ahmed, playing in the no.8 position, smashed 60 off just 24 balls with the help of three fours and six sixes to almost pull it off for the hosts. But, James Neesham defended 15 runs in the final over and also claimed two wickets to bowl out Pakistan's innings.

Adam Milne and Matt Henry also impressed with the new ball while young spinner Rachin Ravindra took two wickets in the middle overs. Pakistan's bowling attack was impressive as well with star pacers Haris Rauf and Shaheen Afridi picking two wickets each. The only concern for the hosts has been the dammed flow of runs in the middle order as the likes of Saim Ayub, Fakhar Zaman, and Imad Wasim could be seen struggling for consistency in this series.

Team Guide

Makes various team combinations with the help of these information.

Mohammad Rizwan :

Mohammad Rizwan is known for his consistency who's knows the conditions of Rawalpindi well. He has also scored 689 runs at an average of 45.9 against the NZ in 20 matches including five half-centuries. On slow tracks, he becomes a vital factor to his side. The star player will also keep wickets for Pakistan. Hence, he becomes a great asset to the side. One of the best captaincy choice.

Tim Seifert :

Tim Seifert is the hard hitting opening batter who can provide quick starts to his team. If he gets going in the series, New Zealand will certainly feel the advantage. He was part of the recently concluded PSL where he's performed well, but he has manged to scored 278 runs, Avg - 25.3 against the Pakistan in 12 T20Is innings. Must have pick.

Babar Azam :

Babar Azam is back as the skipper of Pakistan. The star player will now lead Pakistan in the series against New Zealand and in the T20 World Cup 2024. The star batter has magnificent record against the Kiwi's, with 806 runs at an outstanding average of 42.4 in 22 matches which includes seven half-centuries and a century. Default c/vc pick.

Mark Chapman :

Mark Chapman was the top run getter for New Zealand when these two sides met each other in a T20I series in Pakistan. Overall he has 521 runs at an amazing average of 52.1 in 15 innings. He has three 50s & a 100s against them. Mark Chapman hit 87 not out from 42 balls in the third T20I and the number four batter is a strong choice for New Zealand’s highest run scorer in this clash. The Southpaw adapted well to the Asian conditions. He is a proven player against spin and can take on the home side with intent. Hit or miss type player.

Iftikhar Ahmed :

Iftikhar Ahmed is a multi-dimensional player. He can bat a bit higher in the order and anchor the innings. His natural role is to finish the innings in which he is very good. With the ball, he can be handy with his part-time bowling option. Good pick.

Imad Wasim :

Imad Wasim is all set for his return to the National setup only adds to the strength of the squad. He performed superbly in the recently concluded PSL. He will play a major role for Pakistan in the upcoming matches. Overall he's played 66 T20Is matches and scored just 486 runs, Avg - 15.19, also picked up 65 wickets with the ball. Punt pick.

Jimmy Neesham :

Jimmy Neesham is in excellent touch and contributing to all the departments of the game. He has smashed 907 runs, while also picking up 36 wickets from 75 T20Is. He was algo looked in prime form in BPL 2024. Another safest c/vc pick.

Michael Bracewell :

Michael Bracewell is the promising allrounder who will be looking for leading from the front Kiwi's side for this series. Overall he's scored 117 runs and 23 wickets from 19 T20Is. His ability to contribute with both bat and ball adds value to his selection. One of the best c/vc pick for grand league.

Shaheen Afridi :

Shaheen Afridi is a beast with the new ball. With captaincy no longer a burden on him, the left-arm pacer can concentrate on his bowling. The star pacer can take wickets upfront and impact the game in the first 6 overs. The former Pakistan's skipper scalped 28 wickets in 18 innings against the NZ. After took 3/13 in second game Shaheen Shah Afridi went wicketless in Sunday’s game but he is still a world class bowler and he is our tip for Pakistan’s top wicket taker on Thursday. One of the best c/vc pick from bowling section.

Zaman Khan :

Zaman Khan is the quality pacer who's bowls with pin point accuracy, especially in the death overs. He's managed to get just six wickets from nine t20i matches so far. Zaman Khan has improved his bowling a lot in the last 2 years and is Pakistan's important asset with the ball in hand. Good pick.

Ben Sears :

Ben Sears was impressive in his outings against Pakistan in the 5 match T20I series at home, picked up 4 wickets in just three outing against them. Sears can provide early breakthroughs for his team. Good pick.

Ish Sodhi :

Ish Sodhi is a wicket-taking bowler. In the middle order, Pakistan lacks someone who can strike him for boundaries. Hence, he becomes a dangerous weapon for New Zealand. Not to forget, the leg-spinner is an experienced player. The experienced spinner has 22 wickets at an average of 30.9 in 24 innings against the Pakistan. Punt pick.
