PAK vs NZ 5th T20 Dream 11 Prediction: Best player picks, captaincy choices and match details
The 5th and final match of the five-match T20I series between New Zealand National Cricket Team and Pakistan National Cricket Team will be played on 26 March (Wednesday) at Sky Stadium in Wellington. New Zealand performed brilliantly in the fourth T20 match against Pakistan and scored a huge score. Tim Seifert (44) and Finn Allen (50) gave the team a quick start.
After this, Mark Chapman (24) and Daryl Mitchell (29) also played useful innings. However, the real blast came from the bat of Michael Bracewell, who hit 46 runs in 10 balls, including 5 fours and 2 sixes. On the basis of this excellent batting, New Zealand set a challenging target in front of Pakistan.
Chasing the target, Pakistan had a very bad start. The team could not recover after losing early wickets in the first five overs. The lethal bowling of Jacob Duffy (4 wickets) and Zakary Foulkes (3 wickets) completely destroyed Pakistan's batting.
No batsman could stay at the crease and the entire team was all out for just 105 runs. With this big defeat, the Shaheens also lost the series as the home side took an unassailable lead of 3-1.
