Pakistan vs New Zealand Team Preview
Pakistan
James Neesham maintained his composure right up until the very end as Pakistan appeared set to win the T20I series in spectacular fashion. The host team battled tooth and nail until the final over before ultimately losing by 4 runs after losing both of its openers within the first 4 overs.
The home team’s experiment of starting Naseem Shah before Insanullah undoubtedly failed, which may be the reason for the change in the starting Eleven of the fourth T20I. Imad Wasim also isn’t likely to be replaced in the crucial match despite his abject failure to contribute with the bat and bowl.
New Zealand
Finally, New Zealand’s skipper was leading from the front. In addition, their quick bowlers came through in Karachi, taking 6 wickets. In addition to their veterans’ outstanding leadership, players like Rachin Ravindra made a huge contribution by capturing 2 wickets in 3 overs to bring the series to 2-1.
It is quite improbable that Tom Latham selects Henry Shipley for his starting XI for the fourth T20I because Adam Milne and Matt Henry are performing the ideal roles with the new ball.

Pakistan vs New Zealand outfield report
Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium
Both captains will be aiming to field first because the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium’s surface offers more help to the bowlers early on given that we anticipate gloomy weather.
The day is supposed to be filled with brief periods of light rain.
The match-ready wicket will have something for rapid bowlers.
