In the fourth ODI, Pakistan batted first and they posted a huge total of 334 for 6 in 50 overs. Fakhar Zaman failed in the 4th ODI and he scored 14 runs. Babar Azam played well and made 107 off 117 balls. A real gem of a knock was played by Agha Salman, who scored 58 runs in just 46 balls. Shaheen Afridi played a nice cameo of 23 runs in 7 balls to take Pakistan to a respectable total of 334 in 50 overs of play.

During the chase, New Zealand couldn't go through a stable start and lost both the openers within the powerplay overs. Daryl Mitchell and Tom Latham tried to up the ante with their knocks of 34 and 60 runs respectively. However, once they were dismissed, the lower order couldn't cope up with the pressure and the required rate. Mark Chapman played well and scored 46 off 33 balls but it went in vain as New Zealand were bowled out for 232, losing the match by a huge margin of 102 runs.
