Pakistan vs New Zealand 4th T20I
Date: Thursday, April 20
Time: 8 pm IST
Venue: Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi
After the first three matches taking place in Lahore, the juggernaut will shift further north of the country in Rawalpindi.
It has been a fantastic series for Pakistan batters so far, as it saw the return of their captain Babar Azam, who was left out for the recently-concluded Afghanistan matches. Babar has so far scored 111 runs in three matches and lead the chart among Pakistanis in the runs category.
Tom Latham (93 runs) and Mark Chapman (115 runs) have been the stars with the bat for New Zealand, as they will look for inspiration from the duo to restore the parity in Rawalpindi.
Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf has been the best bowler of this series with 10 wickets to his name. For the Blackcaps, Matt Henry has 6 wickets to his name, but Adam Milne has gone expensive in his two matches and will hope for a better outing.
Pakistan brought in Naseem Shah in the last match and the young pacestar may remain in the team. Kiwis made two changes as Ish Sodhi and Adam Milne came into the side. The former was excellent as he gave away just 11 runs in his 3 overs, which in turn played a massive part in their win.
The 4th T20I match between Pakistan and New Zealand will be played at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi on Thursday (April 20). The match will start late at 8.00 PM IST (7.30 PM PKT) with the toss at 7.30 PM IST.
Pakistan vs New Zealand will be streaming Live on the SonyLiv app and JioTV while the Live Telecast will be on SONY SPORTS TEN 5 and SONY SPORTS TEN 5 HD.
