New Zealand Crushes Pakistan to Win T20I Series 4-1

New Zealand wrapped up the five-match T20I series in style, hammering Pakistan by 8 wickets in the final game. The Kiwis chased down a modest target of 129 in just 10 overs, thanks to a sensational knock from Tim Seifert, who smashed 97 off 38 balls. His blistering innings included 7 fours and 10 sixes, completely dismantling Pakistan's bowling attack.

Seifert's Fireworks Lead the Chase
Chasing 129, Seifert came out all guns blazing. He spared no bowler, taking special liking to Shadab Khan, smashing him for four sixes in the final two overs. Seifert narrowly missed a well-deserved century but ensured New Zealand secured a dominant win.

Pakistan's Batting Struggles Again
Earlier, Pakistan struggled to build a solid total. Despite some resistance from Salman Ali Agha and Shadab Khan, the visitors were bowled out for 128. New Zealand's bowlers were clinical, with Jacob Duffy and James Neesham leading the charge.

Series Summary
New Zealand's convincing 4-1 series victory highlighted their dominance, with both their batting and bowling units delivering consistently. Pakistan, on the other hand, appeared out of sorts with both bat and ball throughout the series. However, they will be boosted by the return of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan for the upcoming ODI series, offering them a chance to bounce back.

✅ Player of the Match: James Neesham
✅ Player of the Series: Tim Seifert

The focus now shifts to the ODI series, where Pakistan will be aiming for redemption with a more experienced squad.
