– Jacob Duffy: With 4/14 in the 1st T20I, his early breakthroughs are vital.
– **Changes:** Zak Foulkes will play and Kyle Jamieson is ruled out due to imjury.
#### Pitch and Weather Conditions
– **Pitch:** Bay Oval’s surface favors batsmen, with an average first-innings score of 170-180 in T20Is. Short boundaries and a true bounce aid strokeplay, though spinners might find grip later. Teams chasing have won 4 of 6 T20Is here.

#### Match Prediction PAK vs NZ 4th T20I
New Zealand’s home dominance (10-8 in T20Is vs Pakistan in NZ) and bowling depth give them an edge, but Pakistan’s newfound batting aggression, led by Nawaz, makes this a close call. If Pakistan’s bowlers, particularly Afridi and Rauf, strike early, they could level the series. However, New Zealand’s familiarity with Bay Oval and ability to adapt might see them clinch it.
**Prediction:** New Zealand to win narrowly, sealing the series 3-1.
