Preview

In the second Twenty20 International of the current series, Pakistan will play New Zealand (PAK vs NZ ). In order to prepare for the T20 World Cup in 2024, both teams are playing a series of five Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) against Pakistan. The game is scheduled to begin at 8:00 PM (IST) on April 20, 2024, at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. The first meeting between the two teams was played at the same location. Sadly, the weather stopped the game before any results could be obtained.

The second Twenty20 International is expected to be played in cloudy conditions due to the forecast. Nonetheless, the clubs would like to get off to a strong start in the series. The first Twenty20 International saw just two balls bowled. Robinson was out for the second ball by Shaheen Afridi before the match was abandoned. Some of the best players are in both teams’ starting lineups. But with a full-strength squad on display, Pakistan must be the early favorites. James Neesham is leading New Zealand in the game.

A number of the top Kiwi players are involved in the IPL 2024 and will not be playing in this series. IPL 2024 players include Trent Boult, Matt Henry, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Mitchell Santner, Daryl Mitchell, and Lockie Ferguson. All of Pakistan’s top players are accessible. There will be performances by Naseem Shah, Babar Azam, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shadab Khan, among many more. Several of them are coming off strong PSL 2024 performances.

Pitch Report

The 2nd T20I between Pakistan and New Zealand is set to take place at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi. The pitch is known for its assistance for the bowlers. It has something in it for both pacers and spinners. The pacers can swing the ball early in the innings given the overcast conditions. Spinners can extract a bit of spin from the surface and bowl in an accurate line and length. Batters need to apply themselves to post a good total on the board.
