This match is set to occur at Wellington Park, New Zealand. As stated earlier, the series stands at 3-1, with New Zealand winning comfortably. This fixture serves as a mere formality and offers one last chance for Pakistan to secure a consolation win before they transition into the ODI series.

New Zealand has performed as a cohesive unit throughout the series. They often give opportunities to their 'B' team players during home series, and these players have taken full advantage of those chances. Players like Finn Allen and Tim Seifert have excelled with the bat, displaying a lot of intent, while Jacob Duffy has been the standout performer with the ball, claiming 11 wickets so far in the series. Michael Bracewell, as captain, has shown maturity in his decision-making and has emerged as a strong candidate for full-time captaincy for New Zealand.

On the other hand, Pakistan has struggled to make an impact with their new team. Their batting has lacked intent, except for captain Salman Ali Agha, who has led by example. Hasan Nawaz, a breakout star for the team, began the series with two consecutive ducks but scored a match-winning 105 off 45 balls in the third T20I. Unfortunately, the team could not capitalize on that performance and lost the next match. Although Nawaz's talent is evident, his consistency is still in question. If Pakistan supports him for the long term, he could mature into a valuable player.

This is Pakistan's last opportunity to shine and end the series with a win. If they compete as a united team, they have a good chance of securing a victory. Regardless of the outcome, it's commendable that they are giving their all during the month of Ramadan.
