NZ vs PAK 2025 5th T20I Results

updated：New Zealand beat Pakistan by 8 wickets.
New Zealand wrapped up the series in dominating fashion, cruising to an eight-wicket win over Pakistan in the 5th T20I. Pakistan’s batting crumbled under the pressure of Jimmy Neesham’s sensational 5-22, which reduced them to just 128 for 9. Agha’s 51 was the only bright spot for Pakistan, but he lacked support from his teammates as wickets fell rapidly.

New Zealand, led by Tim Seifert’s blistering 97* off 38 balls, wasted no time chasing down the target. They needed just ten overs to seal the win, thanks to a relentless assault on the Pakistani bowlers. Despite some tight bowling from Sufiyan Muqeem, who claimed two wickets, the damage had already been done. Seifert’s power-hitting, including a stunning 26-run over off Shadab Khan, ensured New Zealand finished in style, leaving Pakistan to reflect on another disappointing performance.

NZ vs PAK 2025 5th T20I: The final showdown of the T20I series!

The final T20I of the Pakistan tour of New Zealand will be held at Sky Stadium, Wellington. Now, New Zealand and Pakistan have only faced each other 8 times at this ground, with matches taking place roughly every 2-3 years since 2009. Interestingly, both teams have won 4 times each, so their records are tied here. Even though New Zealand has the home advantage, the overall strength of both teams is so close that there’s no clear edge for one over the other. A point worth mentioning is that New Zealand won the last T20I here in 2024, which might give them a slight advantage heading into this match. But who knows, right? Let’s just look forward to the game and see how it turns out!
