New Zealand secured victory in their T20 series against Pakistan with two matches to spare on Wednesday, courtesy of a remarkable performance by opener Finn Allen, who delivered a record-breaking score of 137 off 62 balls at University Oval in Dunedin.

Building on his impressive 74 off 21 balls in the second game, Allen showcased his aggressive style, consistently sending the ball out of the park with a stunning display of 16 sixes and five fours during his rapid innings.

Allen's outstanding 137 not only stands as the highest Men's individual score by a New Zealander in a T20 international, surpassing Brendon McCullum's previous record of 123, but it also equals the world record for the most sixes in an innings (16), a feat previously achieved by Afghanistan's Hazratullah Zazai. The Women's record remains held by Suzi Bates with a score of 124*.

His dominance was particularly evident when he amassed 27 runs in a single over bowled by Haris Rauf, featuring three sixes, two fours, and a single.
