WELLINGTON, MAR 26 (DNA): New Zealand won the toss and put Pakistan to bat first in the final T20I of the five-match series, being played at the Sky Stadium in Wellington on Wednesday.
Today’s match is a dead rubber as the hosts have already bagged an unassailable 3-1 lead, routing the Men in Green for just 105 in the fourth T20I at Mount Maunganui on Sunday.
Kiwis registered the massive victory as the visitors failed to chase the daunting 221-run target, a much-needed feat to stay alive in the series, and were bowled out for just 105 in the 17th over.
