New Delhi
On the basis of Finn Alan’s stormy innings, New Zealand has taken a 3–1 lead in the series by 115 runs in the fourth T20. In the fourth match of the 5 -match T20 series, New Zealand scored 220 runs on the board at the loss of 6 wickets in the prescribed 20 overs. In response, Pakistan’s team was reduced to just 105 runs. Pakistan had chased 205 runs in 16 overs against the Kiwi team two days ago. At that time it seemed that Pakistan’s victory would create a thrill in the series, but he had to face his face in the next match. Finn Alan was awarded the Player of the Match Award for his stormy innings.
After losing the toss, the hosts came out to bat first by Finn Alan and Tim Safart gave a stormy start. In the first 4.1 overs, the two together added 59 runs. SEFERT scored 44 runs from 22 balls, while Finn Alan scored 50 runs off 20 balls. Both opened the threads of 9 fours and 7 sixes of Pakistani bowlers.
New Zealand’s middle order looked slightly dull against the openers, but captain Michael Bracewell finally scored an unbeaten 46 off 26 balls to take the team to a score of 220. Top-3 batsmen, who were the heroes of Pakistan’s victory in the last match, were able to add a total of 4 runs this time. Mohammad Haris 2 and Hasan Nawaz and captain Salman Aga were able to score only 1-1 runs. All Pakistani batsmen were dismissed on single digit except Irfan Khan 24 and Abdul Samad 44. Pakistan collapsed for 105 runs in 16.2 overs.
