New Zealand vs Pakistan Chance of Winning

Having clinched three consecutive victories, New Zealand enters the fourth contest against Pakistan exuding confidence, aiming to sustain their winning momentum. Following an impressive series triumph, the Kiwis are eager to perpetuate their dominance, showcasing another batting masterclass in the last game. With a commanding 3-0 lead in the series, New Zealand eyes a comprehensive clean sweep.

Conversely, Pakistan encounters a challenging phase in international cricket. Shaheen Shah Afridi's leadership struggles in guiding the bowling unit to secure timely wickets, contributing to their predicament. The batting lineup, apart from Babar Azam, has faltered collectively, disappointing the management. With the series already decided, Pakistan now plays for pride in the remaining two games, seeking redemption for the three losses before this.

New Zealand vs Pakistan Betting Tips

New Zealand to score over 51.5 runs in the first 6 overs (1.86 @Parimatch)

New Zealand has displayed formidable aggression in their batting, particularly in the top order, consistently amassing substantial runs within the first six overs of the three T20Is. Posting scores of 56, 65, and 67 in the first 6 overs of the three games, they consistently exceeded the set targets. The top-order batsmen, especially Finn Allen, showcased impressive performances, with Allen delivering a striking century in the last game, playing a key role of a run contributor. In contrast, the Pakistani bowlers appeared inexperienced, struggling to secure quick wickets in the face of New Zealand's aggressive onslaught. Given this trend, it is highly probable that the Kiwis will once again surpass the 51-run mark in the initial six overs of the upcoming game, underscoring their dominance in the series.

New Zealand vs Pakistan Betting Odds

In the third T20I, New Zealand showcased an imposing batting performance, posting an immense total of 224/7 in 20 overs, propelled by Finn Allen's spectacular innings of 137 runs off 62 balls, featuring 5 fours and 16 towering sixes. Despite Babar Azam's resilient efforts with 58 runs off 37 balls during the chase, Pakistan struggled to keep up, ultimately finishing at 179/7 and losing the match by 45 runs.

New Zealand's batting lineup relies heavily on explosive players like Finn Allen, young talent Devon Conway, Mark Chapman, versatile all-rounders Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips, and wicketkeeper-batsman Tim Seifert. The bowling responsibilities rest on the pace trio of Tim Southee, Matt Henry, Lockie Ferguson, and spinners Ish Sodhi and Mitchell Santner.

On the other hand, Pakistan depends on key players such as Babar Azam, opener Mohammad Rizwan, newcomer Saim Ayub, experienced keeper-batsman Azam Khan, and power-hitter Iftikhar Ahmed in the batting department. The bowling attack hinges on fast bowlers Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Mohammad Wasim Jnr, Zaman Khan, and spinner Mohammad Nawaz, as they aim to secure timely breakthroughs in the upcoming contests.
