New Zealand defeated Pakistan in the fourth T20I of the tri-series at Christchurch on Tuesday to pick up their second win in the series and go level on points with the Men in Green. Babar Azam's men had earlier defeated the Kiwis by six wickets, but Kane Williamson's side avenged that defeat in the fourth match.
The hosts dished out a clinical performance as they overcame Pakistan by nine wickets at Hagley Oval, with opener Finn Allen grabbing the spotlight through his half-century. Devon Conway also continued his impressive form in the tri-series and smashed 49 runs.
En route to his 62-run inning from 42 balls, laced with a solitary four and six sixes, Allen smashed Shadab Khan for a 108m six, which was the pick of the lot from all of his maximums.

The incident happened in the seventh over of New Zealand's innings. Shadab had tricked Allen on the third delivery of his over, with the opener looking for a biggie but nearly avoided getting stumped.
Having made his intentions clear, Allen cleared the boundary ropes on the very next ball, smashing a monstrous 108m six which flew onto the roof of the stands at Hagley Oval.
