Before the start of the fifth New Zealand-Pakistan T20I in Wellington, New Zealand have an advantage in more ways than one. While they’ll continue to hand opportunities to their second-string players in a bid to build towards ICC T20 World Cup 2026, Pakistan would look to search for their first-choice names for the same event.
Speaking particular of this series, New Zealand are ahead by 3-1. Barring the third Auckland T20I, Pakistan have mostly been in a slump. Be it a sparkling individual performance or a cumulative team effort, they would be eager to execute one of the two in order to lose with respectable margin of 3-2.

How Will The Weather Affect The Sky Stadium Pitch?
Hosting an international match after more than a year, the pitch at the Sky Stadium is highly likely to remain unaffected due to the weather per se. Considering how Australia sealed the second-highest T20I run-chase in New Zealand in the last match here, expecting a similar high-scoring contest is pretty usual.
