PAKISTAN vs NEW ZEALAND: Match Prediction
This is going to be the fourth match of the T20I series Tri-Series between Pakistan – New Zealand – Bangladesh 2022 where Pakistan will go head to head against New Zealand to kick start what promises to be a competitive tournament between the three sides. Pakistan is devoid of match practice. They have played fourteen T20Is in 2022 thus far against Australia and India and in both instances, they faced defeat. They even lost to England in the recently concluded T20I series. Babar Azam and his men will be ready to take on New Zealand in the fourth game of the series.
New Zealand on the other hand are going through bit of a dip in their form of late. They weren’t good in their first match of the Tri-Series either. Kane Williamson and his men will be looking to turn things around by doing well in this tournament.
Prediction: New Zealand to win.
PAKISTAN vs NEW ZEALAND: Probable Playing XI
PAKISTAN: Babar Azam (c), Shadab Khan (vc), Mohammad Hasnain, Iftikhar Ahmed, Asif Ali, Haider Ali, Mohammad Wasim, Shan Masood, Mohammad Nawaz, Haris Rauf, Mohammad Rizwan (wk).
New Zealand: Fin Allen, Devon Conway (wk), Kane Williamson (c), Mark Chapman, Glenn Phillips, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult
