In a do-or-die encounter, the Pakistan national cricket team made a strong comeback and ensured that the ongoing five T20I series against the New Zealand national cricket team remained alive, clinching the NZ vs PAK 3rd T20I 2025 after being 0-2 down, making the upcoming fourth game quite mouth-watering. Pakistan's decision to bank on their youngster finally came to fruition as the likes of Hasan Nawaz, and Mohammad Haris absolutely ransacked the Black Caps and gave the home side a rude awakening. NZ vs PAK 3rd T20I 2025 Video Highlights: Watch Hasan Nawaz Hit Record Century As Pakistan Register Thumping Win To Keep Series Alive.

In the NZ vs PAK 3rd T20I, New Zealand suffered a shock collapse with only Mark Chapman and Michael Bracewell contributing with the bat, with the former scoring 94. The likes of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Abbas Afridi, and Haris Rauf came to the party for the visitors after having a poor outing in the first two T20Is, which augurs good news moving forward. New Zealand will hope for a better all-round performance from their batters, who have solely depended upon only a few to score runs.

Chasing 205 in a stadium, that is known for high chases, Mohammad Haris provided Pakistan with a brisk start reaching 41 in no time. Despite two ducks, Nawaz continued his aggressive approach, which came off in the third match, where after a few slog hits, the opener came into this destructive best, which led to Pakistan achieving their highest powerplay score in T20I history. Nawaz played a whirlwind knock reaching his maiden T20I hundred in 44 balls, while also adding 133 runs for the second wicket with captain Salman Agha. Agha, too, starred scoring a quickfire 51. However, moving forward Pakistan will need to continue its aggressive approach while also maintaining consistency.

Matt Henry has been ruled out of the remainder of the series, while Zak Foulkes has been retained. Expect the NZ vs PAK 4th T20I 2025 to be a cracker of a contest, with both looking to outsmart the other.

NZ vs PAK 4th T20I 2025 Key Battles

Hasan Nawaz's onslaught in the third T20I would have opened the eyes of New Zealand bowlers, who despite slamming 105 looked scratchy. With Zak Foulkes coming back into the squad, the pacer's swing will present a challenge to Nawaz early on in his innings. Mark Chapman is Mr. Consistent against Pakistan across formats and will need to be quickly dismissed if Pakistan wants to level the series. Shaheen Afridi made a spectacular return to form in Auckland, and will once again look to halt Chapman.
