Skipper Salman Ali Agha acknowledged Pakistan got "outplayed" against New Zealand as the conditions in the second innings turned out to be a "bit too much" for the touring party in the fourth T20I at Mount Maunganui. Even though the toss went Pakistan's way, the rest of the match didn't. Pakistan's experienced bowlers tilted at windmills while the rookie batters jumped on the bandwagon that ran from pitch to dressing room. After Pakistan's bowling unit handsomely conceded runs and allowed New Zealand to post 220/6 on the board, the Men in Green needed its batters to replicate the heroics from the third T20I. However, Pakistan's batters appeared out of wits against a clinical New Zealand pace attack. Zakary Foulkes and William O'Rourke made the most out of their height and generated bounce with the swing to level Pakistan in tatters.
