THE LOWDOWN
NEW ZEALAND
This series so far has been all about New Zealand taking apart Pakistan’s batters and on Wednesday it was Finn Allen’s turn to put them to the sword. An innings of 137 including a whopping 16 sixes was an act of pure carnage, single-handedly elevating the Black Caps to 224/7, comfortably a winning score with 45 runs the margin of victory.
PAKISTAN
Pakistan are continuing to struggle against the brute force of New Zealand’s batting line-up and now find themselves out of contention in this series with two games still to play. They’ve had no answer to the top order striking power of the hosts and none of their players have been able to kick on and accumulate a monster score like the one Allen managed.
THE PREDICTION
All three T20i fixtures so far have been the same story in regards to New Zealand batting Pakistan out of contention. It’s been a complete mismatch between bat and ball, with the Pakistan bowlers unable to keep a lid on the run-scoring in these conditions. Even with the series wrapped up, New Zealand will want to maintain their dominance and are still worth backing to come out on top again.
