Pitch Report
The pitch at the Hagley Oval is beneficial for both batters and bowlers as it’s a bouncy track. While it also provides some movement to fast bowlers during the initial overs of the game.
NZ Vs PAK Probable XIs:
New Zealand XI
Martin Guptill, Devon Conway (wk), Kane Williamson (c), Finn Allen, Glenn Phillips, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult
Pakistan XI
Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Babar Azam (c), Shan Masood, Iftikhar Ahmed, Haider Ali, Asif Ali, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Haris Rauf, Shahnawaz Dahani, Mohammad Wasim
Power Play scores:
New Zealand openers known for their destructive batting, and if managed to play the initial overs, then the hosts can assume 50 to 55 runs on board in the first six overs.
The highest-ranked batter in T20I rankings, Mohammad Rizwan started from where he left in the recently completed Pakistan versus England series. He smashed a brilliant 78 not out of 50 in the first game of the tri-series to make everyone aware about him. However, Babar Azam’s ahead of the big tournament will be a cause of concern for the visitors. And if they both managed to play as per their calibre then 45-50 runs would be a touch and go for team Pakistan during the powerplay overs.
Death Over scores:
Both teams consist of powerful batters middle and down the order, who hold the ability to change the course of the game at any point of time, and considering that, we can assume a 40 to 45 runs for New Zealand in death overs. While Pakistan may score 35 to 40 in the last few overs.
Overall scores:
New Zealand might score somewhere in the range of 170-180 in their 20-overs quota. While Pakistan could post 165-175 runs if they opted to bat first.
