Jacob Duffy and Zakary Foulkes shared seven wickets as New Zealand bowled out Pakistan for 105 to win the fourth T20 International by 115 runs and clinch victory in the five-match series with a game remaining.

Duffy took 4/20 and Foulkes 3/25 as New Zealand’s pacers were successful at Bay Oval and bowled out Pakistan in 16.2 overs.

At 56/8, Pakistan were in danger but Abdul Samad made an unbeaten 44 to steer his team at 91, past their lowest total against New Zealand.

Earlier, Finn Allen made a half-century from 19 balls and captain Michael Bracewell made an unbeaten 46 as New Zealand posted 220/6 after being sent in.

Tim Seifert made 44 from 22 balls in an opening partnership with Allen that produced 59 runs in 4.1 overs. New Zealand went on to 79/1 after only six overs.

Allen hit six fours and three sixes to accelerate the New Zealand scoring. The home team were 134/2 halfway through their innings. Haris Rauf took 3/27 to curb the New Zealand scoring, before Bracewell finished strongly.

Pakistan lost three wickets in the first two overs, including Hasan Nawaz for one.

O’Rourke and Duffy produced devastating opening spells to upset the Pakistan run chase.

O’Rourke bowled Mohammad Haris (two) with the second ball of the Pakistan innings. Duffy then removed Nawaz and captain Salman Ali Agha (one), both caught behind by wicketkeeper Mitchell Hay. The New Zealand pacers were able to move the ball around in conditions under floodlights.

“We have to give them credit, they bowled really well and they outplayed us,” Ali Agha said. “It was swinging and turning as well. It did a lot in the second innings, but we are an international team and we have to do better.

The final match of the series will be played at Wellington on March 26.
