New Zealand crushed Pakistan in the first of five T20Is on Sunday, winning by nine wickets with 59 balls remaining! Many pundits as well as commentators predicted New Zealand to be the stronger side, but few expected such a large margin of victory, and Pakistan is under a lot of pressure heading into this second match. If they lose this game, the series is all but over; however, if they win, the series is back to square one!

The pitch provides a well-balanced surface that will appeal to both batters and bowlers. Pacers can extract movement early on, especially under lights, while spinners improve with each game.
This has consistently been a good batting wicket, and we expect both teams to score high totals. The par score for batting first in this game will be around 180.

Many cricket fans complain about Pakistan being outstanding one game and terrible the next, but they currently appear to be consistently poor! As a result, and with New Zealand in good form, we expect the hosts to win again and go up 2-0. Considering the team combination, New Zealand is expected to win this match.
