WATCH: Pakistan team arrives in Wellington for final T20I against New Zealand

Pakistan, trailing 3-1 in the T20I series, arrives in Wellington for the final match against New Zealand on March 26.

The Pakistan cricket team has arrived in Wellington ahead of the fifth and final Twenty20 International (T20I) against New Zealand, scheduled for March 26 at Sky Stadium. The squad is set to commence practice sessions at 1 p.m. local time on March 25.​

The series has been challenging for Pakistan, who currently trail 3-1. In the fourth T20I at Mount Maunganui's Bay Oval on March 23, New Zealand secured a decisive 115-run victory, clinching the series with a match to spare.

The Black Caps posted a formidable total of 220 for six, with opener Finn Allen contributing a rapid 50 off 20 balls. Pakistan's response was subdued, as they were bowled out for 105 in 16.2 overs, with New Zealand's pace attack dominating the proceedings. 

This was Pakistan's heaviest defeat in terms of runs on record in their T20I history.

The series commenced on March 16 at Christchurch's Hagley Oval, where New Zealand claimed a five-wicket win. The second T20I on March 18 at Dunedin's University Oval saw New Zealand chase down Pakistan's total of 135, achieving a five-wicket victory.

Pakistan's sole win came in the third T20I on March 21 at Auckland's Eden Park, where they successfully chased a target of 205, keeping the series alive temporarily.

Despite the series outcome being decided, the upcoming match offers Pakistan an opportunity to regain some pride and end the tour on a positive note. The team, led by captain Salman Ali Agha, will aim to address the inconsistencies that have plagued their performances thus far.

Conversely, New Zealand will look to maintain their dominance and conclude the series with a commanding 4-1 scoreline.

The final T20I is set to begin at 2:15 p.m. local time on March 26 at Sky Stadium in Wellington.
