PAK vs NZ Cricket Betting Tips and Tricks: 2nd T20I Match Prediction- Who Will Win Today T20 Match? 2023. The second game of the five-match T20I series between Pakistan and New Zealand will be played at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore on 15th April, Saturday.
PAK vs NZ 2nd T20I, Match Preview:
Game number two of the five-match T20I series between the home team Pakistan and New Zealand will take place on Saturday, April 15th.
The home team Pakistan take a 1-0 lead in the series as they won by massive 88 runs in the first T20I. After winning the toss and opting to bat first, the home team didn’t get a good start as they lost both their openers cheaply before Fakhar Zaman and Salim Ayub settled in and put up a 79-run stand at a very brisk rate.
Their partnership ended by a run-out, as Ayub fell three runs short of his fifty. Matt Henry then picked up Iftikhar Ahmed and Shadab Khan in quick succession to put pressure back on the Pakistan batting. Faheem Ashraf and Imad Wasim then played some sensible cricket. Rauf and Ashraf’s few lusty blows at the death meant that Pakistan put up a good score of 182.
The Pakistan bowlers were tight in their defense of 182, they were good with the new ball and reduced the visitors to 29 for 3 after 5 overs. Chapman and Latham attempted to lead a recovery and stabilized things without losing wickets. However, the rising required rate was starting to tell, and Latham departed in the 11th over.
Chapman attempted to counterattack, and hammered Shadab Khan for two fours and a six, but was dismissed off the fifth ball of the same over. His wicket triggered a collapse as New Zealand went from 75-4 to 94 all out in 15 overs. Haris Rauf was the star with the ball for the home side as he claimed four wickets. The visitors would look to put up a better performance in the next game and go level up in the series.
Key Players for Pakistan for PAK vs NZ:
Haris Rauf: The right-arm pacer has been highly impressive for his side in the shorter format for the last few years.
