Pakistan now have lost 4 T20I in a row and last game will be played to avoid whitewash. NZ batting first always gave a target of around 200 but Pakistan today gave a target of 159 to NZ. Despite losing three quick wickets, NZ chased the target in 19th over thanks to 4th wicket partnership of 139 between Daryl Mitchell and Phillips. There are not many chances that Pakistan will win the last game.
The Pakistan team continues to disappoint their visitors regularly.They keep losing one match after another. In the five-match T20I series between Pakistan and New Zealand, Pakistan lost the first four matches to New Zealand. They have one more match left and if Pakistan lose this match too to New Zealand they will be whitewashed.
I would say that Pakistan's batting and bowling are not doing well.In every match I have seen only one player of Pakistan playing well and everyone else playing badly so sometimes no team can win. In today's match, only Mohammad Rizwan batted well, everyone else batted badly, similarly Pakistan's bowling also bowled badly. As a result Pakistan team lost against any other team.
Given a target of 159 runs, victory was not possible. We saw high scores in the first three matches. In today's match too, I thought I would see a target of over 200. I believe if New Zealand had batted first they would have been able to give 200+ targets.
Pakistan team lost another match due to bad batting. No one batted well except Mohammad Rizwan. Except for Rizwan and Nawaj, every batsman batting was slow.
But Shaheen Shah Afridi managed to get off to a good start. Shaheen Shah Afridi took three wickets of New Zealand's top order before the end of 3 overs. If the other bowlers of Pakistan could have bowled well then maybe Pakistan could have won the match.
