Preview
They were the losing finalist in the previous T20 World Cup, and made it as far as the semifinals in the edition before that. But bilateral T20I series have not been Pakistan’s forte in the last couple of years. Among all the Test playing nations, they have played the joint least number of T20Is (18) along with Sri Lanka and have won only one third of their matches.
Since 2022, Pakistan haven’t won a single T20I series, having lost to Australia, England and even Afghanistan (albeit with a second-string side), and had to be satisfied with a drawn series against New Zealand at home in their last T20I outing, which was way back in 2023. A lot has changed with Pakistan since then, including a new captain and vice-captain. But their performances in the T20I format hasn’t yet reached the potential they are capable of and Pakistan now stand on the brink of another series defeat, trailing New Zealand 2-0 after back to back losses.

Despite showing some fire-power with the bat, they haven’t been able to sustain their batting momentum, resulting in two failed chases after the hosts posted big totals on both occasions. Babar Azam has been solid with successive half-centuries while Fakhar Zaman, batting at No.4, came up with a blitzy 25-ball 50 in the last match. All said, Pakistan could do with their bowlers showing better discipline.
New Zealand, on the other hand, have been making the right noises so far in the series, with their batting firing all cylinders and their bowlers being able to deliver consistently, armed with the cushion of big runs. Finn Allen and Daryl Mitchell have especially been dominating with the bat, while Tim Southee and Adam Milne have bagged four wicket hauls to round off New Zealand’s clinical performances in the two matches. They’ll be looking to continue in the same vein and exploit Pakistan’s shortcomings to seal the series.
