Despite losing the series already, the visitors will aim to finish the T20 leg of their tour of New Zealand on a high in Pakistan vs New Zealand, 5th T20I in Christchurch on January 21, 2024, Sunday. New Zealand have been rampant on the tour, so far, dismissing whatever Pakistan have thrown at them with relative ease. However, with the ICC T20 Cricket World Cup 2024 on the horizon, they, too, will be wary so as not to let their guards down and lose the momentum that they have so arduously built.

The 2024 series against Pakistan has been a high-scoring one for New Zealand. When batting first, the Blackcaps have flown past the 190-mark on all three occasions, and have scored 220+ twice. Finn Allen has been a significant contributor toward the same and was at his brilliant best in the third T20I, in which he became New Zealand's highest single T20 inning run-scorer.
Pakistan did get the opportunity to bat first in the fourth T20I, but only managed to set a target of 159 for their opponents, which they hunted down without much effort. By doing so, they took a 4-0 lead in the contest - and can go five for five when the two meet again in two days.
