New Zealand XI will lock horns with Pakistan A in the fifth and final game of the five unofficial T20I games series at the Bert Sutcliffe Oval in Lincoln on Tuesday.
New Zealand XI lost their last game against Pakistan A, as they fell short by 101 runs while chasing a massive total of 231 runs. Rhys Mariu (43) was the only batsman to score past the 20 runs mark for New Zealand XI.
However, the Jeet Raval-led side have some quality players and will aim to turn things around when they face Pakistan A once again on Tuesday.
Pakistan A, on the other hand, have managed to register two back-to-back victories after losing their first two games of the series. Rohail Nazir & co. have got their mojo back at the right time and will like to win this game to end the series on a high note.
A cracking contest will be on the cards when these two sides meet again at the Bert Sutcliffe Oval in Lincoln on Tuesday.
