New Zealand clinched the fifth T20I against Pakistan, securing a dominant 4-1 series victory. The match took place at Sky Stadium in Wellington on March 26, 2025, where the Kiwis showcased their strength and depth in the squad.

Tim Seifert played a pivotal role in the match, scoring an impressive unbeaten 97 runs off just 38 balls, guiding New Zealand to a comfortable win. The hosts had already established their dominance in the series, having won three out of the previous four matches, including a crushing 115-run victory in the fourth T20I.

Pakistan struggled throughout the series, with their batting lineup failing to deliver consistently. Despite a brief resurgence in the third T20I, where they managed to secure a nine-wicket victory, they could not maintain that momentum. The Kiwis’ bowlers, particularly Jacob Duffy and Michael Bracewell, proved effective in restricting Pakistan’s scoring opportunities.

With this series win, New Zealand demonstrated their formidable capabilities as they prepare for an upcoming three-match ODI series against Pakistan starting March 29. The victory not only boosts their confidence but also highlights their depth as they continue to build towards future competitions.
