Who Will Win The Match Between Pakistan And New Zealand? — Pakistan vs. New Zealand

 On November 9, in Sydney, the first semifinal of the T20 World Cup 2022 will feature a match between New Zealand and Pakistan. On November 9 at 1:30 PM IST, New Zealand and Pakistan will play in the first semifinal of the T20 World Cup 2022 at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Both teams' World Cup journeys thus far have been extraordinary. Pakistan under Babar Azam started their campaign with a last-ball loss to bitter rivals India. The following game was against Zimbabwe, and they shockingly dropped the contest. However, Pakistan would go on to defeat the Netherlands before putting on another ruthless display against South Africa in a game that was on the line.

The Dutch team, which defeated the Proteas on Sunday, provided the 2009 T20 World Cup champions with the assistance they needed, while Babar Azam's team also overcame Bangladesh to advance to the last four.

While Afghanistan's game against New Zealand was called off due to weather, New Zealand was much more reliable, defeating Australia by a huge 89 runs in their opening encounter. After losing to England, Kane Williamson's team recovered with a victory over Sri Lanka, but that didn't prevent them from eventually beating Ireland to go to the semifinals.

New Zealand won three of its five games to take first place in Group B. Pakistan finished with six points in Group A after winning three games, thus they had a little luck on their side. The team led by Babar Azam has gained some momentum going into the semifinals.

On a chilly Sydney night, Pakistan came back from 95 for 5 to produce their fifth-highest total against South Africa and highest at World Cups, despite Anrich Nortje's quick bowling and Lungi Ngidi's deft use of the slower ball. Iftikhar Ahmed and Shadab Khan each struck half-centuries to help Pakistan to a respectable total despite their top order failing to fire once more.

Pakistan defeated Bangladesh by five wickets to go to the T20 World Cup 2022 semifinals. In their crucial last Super 12 game, Pakistan used Shaheen Shah Afridi's career-best T20I statistics of four for 22 to first reduce Bangladesh to 127 for 8, and then they successfully completed the target with 11 balls remaining.

By five wickets, Pakistan (128 for 5) defeated Bangladesh (127 for 8) (Shanto 54, Afridi 4-22, Shadab 2-30).

In the end, the Netherlands lost their third straight game in the Super 12s after being outscored by Pakistan's bowling assault, scoring only 91 for 9. Before Pakistan was led home in the brief chase by Mohammad Rizwan, the Netherlands could only muster 91 points.

Netherlands 91 for 9 (Shadab 3-22, Wasim 2-15) were defeated by Pakistan 95 for 4 (Rizwan 49, Glover 2-22) by six wickets.

Thanks to the skill of previous captain Virat Kohli and all-rounder Hardik Pandya, the Men in Blue secured their first victory in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022. But the victory against Pakistan at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Sunday wasn't without its challenges (October 23).

Hardik Pandya performed admirably against Pakistan on the field as well, taking three crucial wickets and adding 40 runs with the bat while combining for a record-breaking 113 runs for the fifth wicket with Virat Kohli, who hit 82*.

India recovered from being in trouble at 31/4 at one point because to the two's 113-run fourth-wicket stand. Iftikhar Ahmed's 34-ball 51 and Shan Masood's unbroken 52 from 42 balls helped Pakistan, who were put in to bat, after they lost their first two wickets with only 15 runs scored in the fourth over. Both of the openers, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, were selected by Arshdeep Singh.

India defeated Pakistan 159 for 8 (Masood 52*, Iftikhar 51, Arshdeep 3-32, Hardik 3-30) by four wickets with a total of 160 for 6 (Kohli 82*, Hardik 40).

In just two games of the Super 12s, Zimbabwe has already dealt a significant blow after promising to cause as much havoc as possible. They held back Pakistan by 130 to prevent them from scoring. On a wicket with decent bounce and a large outfield, they dropped to 95 for 7 after a strong start in their batting and gave Pakistan a manageable goal.

Zimbabwe, though, offered Pakistan competition for that moniker with their subtle and varied approach. Zimbabwe shocked Pakistan by one run in a thrilling match in Perth thanks to a disciplined bowling performance all around, highlighted by Sikandar Raza (3/25)

Before Sikandar Raza, who was in incredible form, claimed two wickets in two balls and another in his subsequent over to leave Pakistan on 94 for 6, Zimbabwe's pacers had eliminated Pakistan's openers in the first five overs. They ought to have believed in their possibilities nonetheless. In the final five overs, Pakistan needed to score 38 runs. After a thrilling evening, Pakistan needed 11 runs off the final over to win, and with Mohammad Nawaz at the crease, that equation came down to three from three.

However, pacer Brad Evans, 25, made three great deliveries just when it counted. Brad Evans, playing in his debut game of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022, pulled up two scalps to completely change the course of the game when it still needed three points off of three.

By one run, Zimbabwe defeated Pakistan 129 for 8 (Masood 44, Raza 3-25, Evans 2-25) with a total of 130 for 8 (Williams 31, Wasim 4-24, Shadab 3-23).

With a score of 61 off 35 balls, Kane Williamson finally found his form, helping New Zealand advance to the T20 World Cup semifinals as the first team.

Ireland scored 150 for nine runs whereas New Zealand had 185 for six (Williamson 61, Allen 32, Little 3-22), defeating Ireland by 35 runs.

In the powerplay, Sri Lanka had New Zealand 15 for 3. Glenn Phillips was eventually dropped, though, and everything after that was New Zealand. The next-highest score in the team, 22, was made by Glenn Phillips, who nearly single-handedly carried New Zealand to a total of 167 for 7 before Trent Boult and Tim Southee put on a powerplay show, taking four wickets between them while Sri Lanka's chase was still being conducted with fielding restrictions in place.

By 65 runs, New Zealand (167 for 7) defeated Sri Lanka (102 for) (Shanaka 35, Boult 4-13).

Since 2011, New Zealand-NZ achieved their first victory in any format in Australia. In the opening Super 12 game, New Zealand defeated Australia by a score of 89 runs. With his numbers, NZ pacer Tim Southee (3/6) was the one who ignited the Australian team's demise.

Mitchell Santner of New Zealand (3/31) dominated the middle portion with his spell. Trent Boult (2/24) of New Zealand handled the tail. Earlier in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 encounter, New Zealand was given the opportunity to bat first by Australia, as Devon Conway (92*) and Finn Allen (42) helped the team add 200/3.

Australia 111 (Maxwell 28, Southee 3-6, Santner 3-31) was defeated by New Zealand 200 for 3 (Conway 92*, Allen 42) by 89 runs.

With great head-to-head records (Pakistan has won four out of six games against New Zealand in the history of T20 WCs), Babar Azam & Co. are expected to win the match as Pakistan has reached its peak at the ideal time. Therefore, the prediction from this point forward is that Pakistan will defeat New Zealand and advance to the championship game of the T20 World Cup in 2022. Pakistan would be in good shape because they have a stronger win-loss record against New Zealand.
