In a gripping conclusion to the five-match T20I series, Pakistan defeated New Zealand by 9 runs in the final game at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, resulting in a 2-2 series draw. The match was intensely contested, with Pakistan setting a target of 179 runs after being put into bat. Babar Azam led the scoring with a 69-run knock from 44 balls. Despite a strong chase by New Zealand, including a 30-ball fifty from Tim Seifert and a threatening innings from Josh Clarkson, Pakistan's varied bowling attack, which featured eight bowlers for the first time in a T20I, managed to secure the win in the final over. Shaheen Afridi notably attempted a hat-trick during the game.
