Pakistan vs New Zealand fifth T20 match
Today, the fifth T20 match i.e. the last T20 match of the T20 series between the host Pakistan and the visiting New Zealand team is going to be played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. In this five-match T20I series between Pakistan and New Zealand, after the hosts Pakistan won the second T20I, they were miserably defeated by the New Zealand team in the third and fourth in the next two matches. In the two matches that the Pakistan team lost, their batting, bowling and fielding performances were not good, which saw them losing the match to a young and inexperienced New Zealand team. Today's match is very important for Pakistan team because if New Zealand team wins then they will easily win this T20 series against Pakistan.
On the other hand, if Pakistan want to save their honor, they will have to give their best today and play well to prevent New Zealand from winning the series. Today we may see some good fast bowlers in Pakistan team especially Md Amir Shahensha Afridi and Naseem Shah may be in Pakistan playing XI today and even field to fight against New Zealand.
Pakistan are unable to win their home matches against New Zealand's second-tier squad. I would say it is a shame for Pakistan. Pakistan won the second match due to excellent performance by the bowlers. But Pakistan lost the next two matches. We don't see any better performance from Pakistani batsmen on batting friendly pitch. Also Pakistani bowlers bowling seems to be getting worse day by day. If this continues, the Pakistan team will be defeated in today's match as well.
I thought Pakistan would dominate the series. And in the second match, Pakistan got a very easy win. But even then we have seen the performance of Pakistani players deteriorate. If they lose today's match too, Pakistan will lose the series by 3-1.
