New Zealand have displayed a clinical performance in the fourth T20I and managed to gain an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series against Pakistan. The NZ vs PAK 4th T20I saw New Zealand score a mammoth 220 in their first innings with knocks from Tim Seifert, Finn Allen, and Michael Bracewell despite Haris Rauf producing an impressive spell. In reply, Pakistan never got going in their innings, and lost all their star performers from 3rd T20I under nine runs. Reduced to 56 for eight, Abdul Samad and Ifran Khan showcased some grit in the middle hitting 24, and 44, respectively. Jacob Duffy starred for the Kiwis claiming four wickets, while Zakary Foulkes picked three as New Zealand won the contest by 115 run.
