The Black Caps will be looking to halt Pakistan’s winning streak, after the hosts registered their 11th consecutive T20I series win on Friday - a world record.
Pakistan lived up to their billing as the world's best T20 team with a six-wicket victory over New Zealand in Dubai two days ago to clinch the three-match series 2-0.
Mohammad Hafeez (34, not-out) and Shoaib Malik (10) added 34 quickfire runs to help Pakistan overhaul the 154-run target in 19.4 overs at Dubai stadium, pocketing their 11th consecutive series and eighth successive T20 match.
Pakistan won the first match by two runs in a last-ball finish in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.
Since Sarfraz Ahmed took over as captain in September 2016, Pakistan have beaten England (1-0), West Indies (3-0 and 3-1), a World XI (2-1), Sri Lanka (3-0), New Zealand (2-1), West Indies (3-0), Scotland (2-0), and Australia (3-0).
They also won a tri-series against Zimbabwe and Australia this year.
The T20 series will be followed by a three-match one-day international (ODI) series with matches on November 7, 9 and 11.
The three-match Test series between Pakistan and New Zealand will begin from November 16.
