Pakistan vs New Zealand Match Prediction & Preview

Pakistan and New Zealand are set to clash heads on Tuesday when they battle it out at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.

Misbah-ul-Haq’s side set the standard for the rest of the tournament, with a confident display against World Cup favourites India. Pakistan comfortably chased down India to win by 10 wickets.

Babar Azam (68) and Mohammad Rizwan (79) kicked off their respective tournaments in style cruising to the target. A win against New Zealand on Tuesday could secure a top-two finish in the easier of the two groups.

Meanwhile, New Zealand is yet to play their first match in the tournament. However, they don’t enter the match in the best of form in the short format, losing both of their warmup matches against England (13 runs) and Australia (three wickets).

However, that’s not to say that they aren’t capable of achieving a result against the high-spirited Pakistan outfit. Their middle order struggled to settle the ship on both occasions of the warmup matches and will be crucial if they are to get off to a winning start to their campaign.

No one expected Pakistan to win against India in the manner that they did, and if they can continue that form, I believe they should be able to defeat the inconsistent Kiwi’s.
