One of Pakistan's benched players was seen coming with a tray as the cricketers celebrated iftar on the field during the fourth T20I against New Zealand at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui. A video of the same surfaced on social media as the commentator announced how Pakistan players can break their fast, given the sun has gone down.

A similar incident had also occurred in the third T20I played between the two sides at the Eden Park in Auckland when the players broke their Ramadan fast during the drinks break. During Sunday's fixture at the Bay Oval, the commentator pointed out how the benched player brought a plate of fruits and were seen consuming drinks.

Below is the incident of the same as it occurred after the third over of the innings:

Pakistan plummet to 115-run defeat and lose the series

Nevertheless, the result didn't go in the visitors' way as they lost the contest in Mount Maunganui by 115 runs while chasing 221. The Men in Green had kept the series alive by winning the third T20I as they chased down 205 only in 16 overs, thanks to Hasan Nawaz's blazing 105 off 45 balls.

However, Nawaz perished for a single-figure on this occasion and the top-order folded like a pack of cards. Only Irfan Khan and Abdul Samad made it to double figures, with the latter smashing 44 off 30 deliveries. Jacob Duffy and Zakary Foulkes took seven wickets between them, with the former taking four scalps.

The fifth and final T20I will take place in Wellington on March 26.
