New Zealand defeated Pakistan by nine wickets by effortlessly chasing out the target set by the Green Shirts in the fourth match of the tri-nation Twenty20 International series at the Hagley Oval stadium in Christchurch, Tuesday.
The hosts restricted Pakistan to 130 for seven, as Michael Bracewell took the key wickets of the prolific opening pair of Mohammad Rizwan (16) and captain Babar Azam (21) in fine figures of two for 11 from his four overs.
Tim Southee took two wickets in two balls at the end of the innings at Hagley Oval as New Zealand tried to avenge their defeat to Pakistan at the same venue on Saturday.
Both teams, plus Bangladesh, are using the week-long tournament to fine-tune for the T20 World Cup in Australia this month.
