    5th T20I: Can Pakistan avoid whitewash against New Zealand?

    What's the story

    Pakistan will have nothing but pride to play for as they meet hosts New Zealand in the fifth and last match of the series.

    The Kiwis have been brilliant across all three departments.

    Though the Men in Green also have many positives in this series, they have, somehow, not been able to cross the line.

    Here is the preview of the fifth T20I.

    Details 

    Venue, pitch report, and streaming details

    The Hagley Oval in Christchurch will host the final game on January 21 (5:30am IST).

    The fourth T20I also took place here as pacers got assistance early on. However, the track eased out thereafter.

    Teams batting second have won seven of the 12 T20Is here.

    While the match won't be broadcast live in India, fans can stream it live on the Amazon Prime app.

    A look at the head-to-head record

    Pakistan still have an edge over NZ in T20Is as they own 20 victories and 17 defeats (NR: 1).

    However, on New Zealand soil, the Kiwis have 12 wins and seven defeats against the team.

    Pakistan's preceding T20I assignment in the nation was a tri-series in October 2022, also involving Bangladesh.

    The Men in Green defeated NZ in the final.

    PAK vs NZ 

    Both teams can test their bench strength

    Daryl Mitchell has been withdrawn from the squad with the South Africa Test series being round the corner.

    All-rounder Rachin Ravindra has been drafted in as his replacement and he could come in the XI straightaway.

    Chad Bowes might also get a chance.

    Meanwhile, Pakistan might also test their bench strength and give the likes of Usama Mir and Haseebullah Khan a go.

    XIs

    Here are the Probable XIs

    New Zealand (Probable XI): Finn Allen, Tim Seifert (WK), Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Mitchell Santner (C), Adam Milne, Matt Henry, Tim Southee, Lockie Ferguson.

    Pakistan (Probable XI): Saim Ayub, Mohammad Rizwan (WK), Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Sahibzada Farhan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Mohammad Nawaz, Shaheen Afridi (C), Mohammad Wasim Jr, Haris Rauf, Zaman Khan.
