Tauranga, New Zealand: Pakistan won the toss and elected to bowl in the fourth Twenty20 against New Zealand in Mount Maunganui on Sunday as they bid to square the five-match series.

Both are to their seam attack, with Zak Foulkes and Will O’Rourke replacing Kyle Jamieson and Ben Sears.
Pakistan are unchanged from the team that won at Eden Park, highlighted by opener Hasan Nawaz’s maiden century of 105 not out off 45 balls.
