A Finn Allen special subjected Pakistan to a third successive loss in New Zealand and snatched away what little hope they had left of overturning a deficit in the five-match series. New Zealand ran rampant in Dunedine, scoring 220+ for the second time on the tour, while the hapless visitors, huffed and puffed as they did to reach the target, fell some way short of the mark. With the Pakistan vs New Zealand, 4th T20I on the horizon, the away side has nothing left to play for but pride. (More Cricket News)
As New Zealand celebrated their third successive win over Pakistan in T20Is, much of the attention was drawn towards Allen. The Blackcaps opener had completed a sensational innings of 137 in 62 balls that has seen him hit a joint-record 16 sixes and five fours. Allen's total was also the highest set by a New Zealander in this format, while his display only added sheen to what has already been a sensational series for him.
As Pakistan faltered, one eye fell to the horizon where the daunting prospect of the ICC T20 Cricket World Cup 2024 awaits. Severely out of form at the moment, Pakistan will hope to correct course before the touchdown in the United States of America, where they will play India, USA, Canada, and Ireland. The high-flying New Zealand, on the other hand, will hope to retain their momentum until and after they reach the West Indies; the Blackcaps are scheduled to play Afghanistan, West Indies, Uganda, and Papua New Guinea in the first stage of the tournament.
