Pakistan came up with some changes in the playing 11 for the 3rd T20I and with some hopes that something would change in the positive path but Finn Allen's resistance didn't allow them. A complete brutal bashing from Allen annihilated Pakistan and handed them a sour 45-run defeat in the third T20I.

Pakistan have a good track record in Christchurch. They have played 4 matches there and have won 3 of them. The 4th and 5th T20I of this T20I series are set to be played in the Hagley Oval and Pakistan would be looking at it as an opportunity to open their account in the series.

It seems to be decent weather in New Zealand?s Christchurch on January 19. As forecasted by Weather.com, there is a zero possibility of rain during the scheduled match hours. A 60-70% sky will be covered by clouds but no threat of rain.



A windy and overcast evening in Christchurch is predicted. There are remote chances of rain so we can hope for some good action of cricket.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="hagley-oval-christchurch-pitch-report">Hagley Oval, Christchurch Pitch Report</h2>



Hagley Oval in Christchurch is another traditional New Zealand track where the medium pacers will delight. It should be a green top track, and it will be difficult for the hitters to play against the new ball bowlers. In the first few overs, there will be plenty of movement for the seamers. With an average first-inning score of 165 in the previous Twenty20 matches, the Hagley Oval in Christchurch is a ground that benefits batting as the ball becomes older.

PAK vs NZ, 4th T20I: The fourth T20 International of the ongoing five-match series between hosts New Zealand and visitors Pakistan will take place tomorrow on Friday, January 19th, at Christchurch?s Hagley Oval stadium. The visitors have already lost the series after getting defeated in the first three T20 internationals. The Kiwi?s defeated the Shaheen Shah Afridi-led team by 46 runs, 21 runs, and 45 runs in the first, second, and third T20 Internationals.



The Black Caps will be looking to continue their winning run and win their fourth match in a row in the five-match T20i series, while Pakistan, on the other hand, are going to play for pride and would be hoping to win the remaining two matches of the series and avoid a series whitewash. For the Men in Green, batsman Babar Azam has managed to score three consecutive half-centurys in the first three T20 Internationals played so far, but the Pakistani bowlers have failed to keep Kiwi opener Finn Allen quiet, and he has hammered the Men in Green bowlers in all parts of the stadium. Allen is currently the leading run scorer in the ongoing five-match T20i series between New Zealand and Pakistan, with 245 runs in three matches at an average of 81.66, which includes one century and one half century.



With the ball, Kiwi seamer Tim Southee is the highest wicket taker in this series with 8 scalps, followed by Haris Rauf with 7 wickets and Adam Milne with 6 wickets. In the previous encounter between both teams, the Kiwi?s were put in to bat first once again by Shaheen Shah Afridi, and the hosts took full advantage of the batting conditions on offer as they managed to score 224 runs from their 20 overs and posted a mammoth total of 225 runs on the board for the visitors. Opener Finn Allen once again led the batting unit from the front with his 137 runs knocked from just 62 balls at a brilliant strike rate of 222.97, which included 16 maximums and five fours.



In reply, the visitors were able to score just 179 runs in their quota of 20 overs as Babar Azam (58 runs from 37 balls) was the top scorer for the Men in Green, but to no avail as Pakistan eventually lost the game by 45 runs. Fast bowler Tim Southee picked up two wickets, while Ish Sodhi, Matt Henry, Mitchell Santner, and Lockie Ferguson picked up one wicket each.

PAK vs NZ, 4th T20I: When and Where to watch the 4th T20I between New Zealand and Pakistan | Live Streaming Details

pak-vs-nz-4th-t20i-when-and-where-to-watch-the-4th-t20i-between-new-zealand-and-pakistan-live-streaming-details

PAK vs NZ 4th T20I: Top order batters Fakhar Zaman and Usman Khan are being considered to bat at number three for the Pakistani Men's National Cricket Team following Mohammad Rizwan?s injury and the management wants to try Rizwan at the number four position.



According to a news report from Geo News, the majority of the team management members want Rizwan's batting position to be changed. But, skipper Babar is not in favor of this decision as he wants the 31 year old to open the inning with him if Saim Ayub fails to deliver at the top of the batting order.



Sources have also revealed that Mohammad Rizwan is not pleased with the decision of changing his batting position since he wants to open the innings for the Shaheens, a position in which he has thrived.



Fakhar Zaman has not featured in the New Zealand series yet but he is likely to play in the 4th and the 5th T20i?s due to Rizwan's injury. Usman Khan on the other hand has scored just 12 runs in two innings so far and has failed to live up to expectations.



Mohammad Rizwan is likely to miss the remainder of the ongoing New Zealand series due to a hamstring injury he suffered while batting during the third T20I. The Men in Green's team management is likely to make a decision on Mohammad Rizwan's availability today post the evaluation of his medical reports.



It's worth noting that Michale Bracewell?s New Zealand made a strong comeback in the five match T20 International series thanks to a brilliant knock from Mark Chapman who led his side to a win in the third T20i on Sunday.



The series is currently level at 1-1 with the two remaining matches scheduled to be played in the city of Lahore on 25th and 27th April respectively.



Post the conclusion of the New Zealand series, the Shaheens will play three T20 International games against Ireland and four against 2022 T20 World Cup winners England ahead of the 2024 T20 World Cup.

The wait for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to be over. The tournament will begin on 19th February, and the final will take place on 9th March. The India team, no doubt, will be one of the hot favourites to win the tournament, which will be played in a hybrid model. 
India will be playing all their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 games in Dubai. The Rohit Sharma-led side will be beginning their campaign against Bangladesh on 20th February, and, after that, will be playing Pakistan on 23rd February, followed by New Zealand on 2nd March. 
The departure date of India for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 also has been revealed. As per the reports in Times of India, it is learned that the Rohit Sharma-led side will be travelling to Dubai on 15th February. The reports added that more clarity on the same will come in the coming days. 
<h2>India won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
Not only this, it is learned that India also won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because all the teams will be in Pakistan, and hence, it will be difficult for the International Cricket Council (ICC) to arrange the warmup match. 
The reports added that India team management is happy with the net session ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because they will be playing the three-match ODI series against England, which will begin on 6th February across three venues in India. 
Apart from this, it is reported that the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 won't be having a captain photoshoot because of the different challenges along with the different arrivals of the team. This means that Rohit Sharma won't be travelling to Pakistan for this and will be staying in Dubai with the team. 
The opening ceremony of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be held in Lahore. There were talks of having the event in Karachi but the Pakistan Cricket Board decided to host it in Lahore.

India batter Shubman Gill has started his preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The premier batter has returned to nets for the white-ball practice as he was named in the Indian team for the ODI series against England and the ICC tournament. 
Shubman Gill has been under a lot of pressure for his poor outings with the bat, especially in Test cricket. With the emergence of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who delivered consistent performances, there were a lot of questions about the place of Gill, even in the ODIs. 
Several fans and experts also have backed Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the innings for India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 along with Rohit Sharma. However, amid all this Shubman Gill is making sure that he gives his best to train for the tournament. 
With England ODIs and ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner, Shubman Gill was seen batting in the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium. He was seen batting with the white-ball ahead of the tournament and the video can be seen at the end of the article. 
Shubman Gill looked in golden touch with the bat as he played a pull towards the four before blocking the balls. The batter would be eager to make a strong comeback and reply to all the criticism in style with his performances in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
Shubman Gill recently played the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 for Punjab. The batter was the lone warrior for his team as he hit a magnificent century and returned to form after having a poor outing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, where he played just three games. 
Shubman Gill would want to carry on his form and help a team win. He has been one of the best batters for India in ODIs. He also has been named as the vice-captain of the team for the tournament and with added responsibility under his belt, a lot will be reliant on him.

Pakistan batter Babar Azam has been in the news for the last few days, especially with the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner. The batter's name has been discussed a lot related to making him open, especially with no clarity over Saim Ayub. 
Pakistan is the only team that has yet to announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Since the last few days, he has been in the news as there have been a lot of reports that have suggested that there are chances that he might open the innings for the team. 
However, the fresh reports in Cricket Pakistan have revealed that there are no plans to make Babar Azam open the innings. The reports added that the selection committee has not given the green signal to the development as they feel that batter will be best suited in the middle order. 
<h2>Selectors want a proper opener in the role; Babar Azam to at in middle-order</h2>
The reports claimed that selectors want a proper opener in the role. One of the openers that has been finalized by the management is Fakhar Zaman. However, with Saim Ayub likely to miss out, it is learned that Imam-ul-Haq is also in contention to take the role. 
Babar Azam has been the best batter for Pakistan in ODIs. The batter has mustered truckloads of runs for the team in the format while batting at No.3 and he will be extremely crucial for his team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will be played in Pakistan with India games to be played in India. 
Babar Azam also has been a decent opener as well. He has been opening for the team in T20Is and has achieved massive success as well. He also opened in Test cricket during the recent South Africa series and aced that challenge as well, slamming two half-centuries in two innings. 
But, in white-ball cricket, Babar Azam has been criticised a lot for opening in T20Is. This is because he has failed to maximise the powerplay and has been batting with a low strike rate. It remains to be seen where he will be batting for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

India assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate has provided a massive fitness update about batter Rinku Singh ahead of the fourth IND vs ENG T20I. He mentioned that the left-hander has gained full fitness and will be playing the next match of the five-match T20I series. 
India and England are all set to lock horns with each other in the fourth match of the T20I series. The game is all set to be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Thursday (30th January). The series is currently at 2-1, with hosts in the lead. 
India has been without the services of Rinku Singh for the last two games of the IND vs ENG series. The left-hander sustained a low back spasm while fielding in the first game and was then ruled out of the next two games of the series as he was under the observation of the BCCI medical team. 
In his place, the India team added Dhruv Jurel to the XI, and the move didn't pay off. The keeper-batter batted lower down the order and struggled to get going in both games, and it potentially cost them the last match of the series. 
<h2>Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow - Ryan Ten Doeschate</h2>
However, in what will be a massive boost, Rinku Singh has been declared fit for the next two games. The development was confirmed by assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate, who said that the batter hit nets and will be playing. He told reporters. 
"Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow. He batted yesterday night" 
Rinku Singh has been India's one of the best batters in the T20Is. His absence was felt in the last two games as well, but now, with him being fit, it is expected that he would walk straight into the XI and is likely to add Dhruv Jurel to the team. 
The fourth IND vs ENG T20I will be a great opportunity for India to to seal the series, but they need to make some corrections before heading into the next IND vs ENG match. 
India faced a disappointing 26-run loss in the last match at Rajkot. Their batting was one of the main reasons behind the loss and they would be hoping to make a strong comeback.
