Preview
The New Zealand cricket team has been all over the visitors from Pakistan like a rash in the ongoing five-match T20I series. The Men in Green had to go through a T20 World Cup 2024 group stage exit after losing to the USA and India to realize that they had to undergo a big change, but the results are not being seen in the shortest format of the game.
Coming back to this series, Pakistan suffered a crushing defeat in the opening game. The Men in Green were bundled out for just 91 runs, and the total was chased by the Black Caps in the 11th over of the game. The hosts clinched the match in the second T20I as well by five wickets. The Green Army managed to rack up 135 runs in the 15-over game. Chasing down a low-scoring total, the Black Caps achieved the target in just 13.1 overs to take a 2-0 lead.
New Zealand is now set to clinch the series against Salman Ali Agha and his men as they will be facing Pakistan in the third T20I game slated to take place on March 21 at Eden Park in Auckland. Having already won the first two matches, the home team, New Zealand, will have their eyes on the trophy in the absence of some big stars.

The Pakistani skipper has made 18 and 46 runs in the first and second match, respectively. He seems to be in great form heading to this game.
