PAK vs NZ 5th T20I: Pakistan suffered a beating at the hands of New Zealand in the final T20I encounter. Batting first, the Men in Green managed to post an under-par score of 128/9 in their allotted 20 overs. Skipper Salman Agha scored a fifty with the bat, but none of the other Pakistani batters contributed much with the bat. For Kiwis, Jimmy Neesham scalped his maiden 5-wicket haul.
In reply, the Kiwis made a mockery of Pakistan’s score, chasing the total in just 10 overs. Tim Seifert played a blinder for the Kiwis, scoring 97 off 38 balls as New Zealand won by 8 wickets.

Wellington Regional Stadium Pitch Report
The Bay Oval pitch initially favors seamers with some early movement but gradually improves for batting. As the match progresses, spinners could become effective if the surface starts to slow down. The toss-winning captain might opt to bat first to take advantage of the conditions.
