On Thursday, Pakistan and New Zealand will take on each other in the fourth T20I of the ongoing five-match series. 

The first match of the series was abandoned due to an incessant downpour in Rawalpindi, while Pakistan swatted aside the visitors by seven wickets in the second fixture. 

However, the BlackCaps made a tremendous comeback to the series, securing an emphatic victory in the third match, courtesy of a scintillating knock from Mark Chapman. 

With the series levelled one-all, we expect a nail-biting contest between both teams. So, as they gear up for a high-voltage clash, let's see what the stats say about the venue.
