Babar Azam and Mohammad Hafeez played a key role in Pakistan's second straight series, having dominated New Zealand by 47 points in the last T20I of the Three Match Series – after the 3-0 win from Australia – to Dubai, Sunday 4th November. After Hafeez and Babar beat Pakistan at 166, New Zealand had already lost control over three games, New Zealand had already lost control of the match and had ended. with 119 before being eliminated in 16.5 points more in their hunt.

At the end of the second game, Kane Williamson's fumble on the Pakistan model that the hosts ran flawlessly in their consecutive wins. Thus, when Sarfraz Ahmed won the draw and chose to beat, Williamson had a clear idea of ​​the scenario that would follow: works on the board and causes a strangulation in the middle of the second period.

New Zealand started well with a new pair of opening bowling; Both Seth Rance and Tim Southee were outstanding in the first five postponements as Pakistan started slowly. Lockie Ferguson quickly took advantage of the pressure as Fakhar Zaman was fired for an impulse. There were only 33 powerplay races and the visitors continued the good work until the 11th ended.

And then the wind turned. With the introduction of the rotation, Williamson pbades the torch to Pakistani drummers for it to take matters into their own hands. Hafeez faced Ish Sodhi and hit two consecutive six to get started. In the 15th end, Babar faced Colin Munro, while Pakistan was 112 for 1 at the end of the 15th. During this process, Babar has also pbaded the 1,000 mark in T20I. At 48, she became the fastest.

Once Munro and Phillips went out to open, the plan was pretty simple. Munro was trying to attack and Phillps had to start early without putting pressure on his partner. Things deviated from the script just a little but not in favor of New Zealand.

Munro was under the control of Faheem Ashraf even before he could open it while Colin's Grandma, third, was exhausted, leaving the team at 13 for 2. The first jerks were enough to knock down the visitors of the contest. Williamson had to make 18 deliveries to begin while Phillips continued to fight the challenge as Pakistan continued to tighten ties. When the duel of 50 points was crossed, Phillips had managed only nine. The New Zealand captain scored his ninth half-century in the 11th after 32 balls, but the lack of support from the other end played in Pakistan's favor.

However, Williamson's badault left his team almost afloat, leaving it afloat. 71 needed in the last eight overs. Shadab Khan then closed the door to New Zealand with the wickets of Williamson and Phillips in the 13th round, while they went from 96 for 2 to 104 for 7 in no time. New Zealand has now lost eight of its last nine T20I suits and needs some quick fixes to overthrow Pakistan in the ODI series.
