Since March 26, 2025, there is no record of James Neesham achieving a five-wicket haul in T20 International (T20I) cricket against Pakistan in Wellington or elsewhere. In the recent second T20I between New Zealand and Pakistan, Neesham played a notable role by taking 2 wickets for 26 runs, contributing to New Zealand’s victory.
Neesham has not taken a five-wicket haul in any T20I match to date. His best T20I bowling figures are 3 wickets for 16 runs, achieved against India on January 27, 2023, in Ranchi.
In a remarkable display of skill, T20I match on April 24, 2023, against Pakistan in Rawalpindi, Neesham contributed significantly with the bat rather than the ball. He scored an unbeaten 45 runs off 25 balls, partnering with Mark Chapman, who scored 104* off 57 balls. Their efforts led New Zealand to chase down Pakistan’s total of 193/5, resulting in a six-wicket victory for New Zealand.
Therefore, the claim that James Neesham has taken a five-wicket haul in a T20I against Pakistan in Wellington is not supported by available records.
