PAK vs NZ Match Prediction
PAK vs NZ Overview
New Zealand and Pakistan are all set to face off Pakistan in the first semi-final of the T20 world cup at Sydney cricket ground in Australia.
With victories against all other teams outside England, New Zealand advanced to the semifinals after finishing first in their difficult group, which also included Sri Lanka and England. The team led by Kane Williamson is in excellent form and is widely regarded as the overwhelming favorite to take home the trophy this time.
But they are not facing a poor squad; they are facing a team with warriors. The men in green will enter the field with great purpose after relying on nearly everyone in their group to finally qualify, and their recent victory over New Zealand in the tri-series shortly before the World Cup also gives them the boost to defeat the Black Caps.
