New Zealand thrashed Pakistan by 115 runs in the fourth T20 at Mount Maunganui to take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series.
In a fine all-round performance, the Black Caps set Pakistan an imposing 221 to win, before bowling them out for just 105 in 16.2 overs.
Seamers Jacob Duffy (4-20) and Zak Foulkes (3-25) starred as Pakistan were reduced to 42-5 by the end of the six-over powerplay.
Only Abdul Samad, who made 44, and Irfan Khan Niazi, with 24, reached double figures in a dismal batting performance from the visitors.
In contrast, Finn Allen smashed 50 from 20 balls at the top of the order for the hosts in a destructive opening stand of 59 in just four overs with Tim Seifert, who made 44 from 22.- BBC.
