PAK vs NZ 5th T20I Highlights: Skipper Babar Azam hit a solid half century while spearhead Shaheen Shah Afridi grabbed four wickets as Pakistan overcame New Zealand by nine runs in the fifth and final T20I in Lahore on Saturday. Azam’s 44-ball 69 and Fakhar Zaman’s 33-ball 43 took Pakistan to 178 for 5 in their 20 overs before Shaheen claimed 4 for 30 to restrict New Zealand to 169 in 19.2 overs, squaring the series at 2-2. But Pakistan’s win only came in the final over with 12 needed as Josh Clarkson 38 not out threatened to pull off a heist, but two run outs in Mohammad Amir’s over sealed the home win much to the delight of a full house at Gaddafi Stadium.
