NZ vs PAK: New Zealand's big setback in the T20 series, main bowler out of the remaining two matches

In the current five-match series with Pakistan, New Zealand is leading 2-1. Now the Kiwi side just needs one win for a series victory, but prior to that, there has been some bad news for it. New Zealand Cricket has confirmed that fast bowler Matt Henry will not be playing for the last two games of the ongoing T20 series against Pakistan. He is now rehabilitating from injury. Recently, against South Africa, New Zealand won a game in the semi-finals of the ICC Champions Trophy, and during the game, Henry injured his right shoulder and also had a left knee problem.

In a statement issued by New Zealand Cricket, it was said that Canterbury fast bowler Jack Faulks has been retained for the remaining two matches of the series in place of Henry. At the same time, Will O'Rourke was listed for the first three matches. He has joined the T20 team for the last two matches in place of Kyle Jamieson.

New Zealand are leading the series 2-1. Now the remaining matches will be played at Bay Oval in Tauranga on Sunday and Sky Stadium in Wellington on Wednesday. Pakistan's brilliant comeback in the third T20 match on Friday kept their hopes alive. Now the visiting team will be eyeing to level the series by winning the fourth match of the series.

Pakistan has set a new world record for the fastest chase of a target of more than 200 runs in T20 cricket. In the third T20 played in Auckland, Pakistan achieved New Zealand's target of 205 runs in just 16 overs. The previous record was in the name of South Africa, which achieved the target of 206 runs in 17.4 overs.
