In this article, we will discuss the Cricket Prediction between Pakistan vs New Zealand for the 3rd T20I on April 21 – Let’s see who will win the 3rd T20I. The third Twenty20 International of Pakistan and New Zealand’s five-match series takes place on Sunday evening, exactly twenty-four hours after the two teams faced off in the second T20I. With 47 balls left in the match on Saturday, Pakistan emerged victorious by 7 wickets. The Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium will open for play on April 21 at 19:30 local time.
Pakistan showed how much of a stronger squad they had than New Zealand on Saturday after emerging from the no-result on Thursday in a good state of mind. If they didn’t win this game and go up 2-0 in the series, it would be shocking.
Since this is a five-game series, we anticipate that New Zealand will stick with the same lineup for this encounter, albeit they might need to rearrange their batting order to be more competitive. Whatever they decide to do, this will be another difficult match.
The team management will be trying to go in with the same lineup after an almost flawless showing in the second match, where the hosts went on to record an easy victory.
The home team’s batting lineup, which includes explosive opener Saim Ayub, captain Babar Azam, wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan, and rookies Usman Khan and Irfan Khan Niazi, will be expected to score the majority of the runs.
With the help of four boundaries and one six, Mohammad Rizwan struck an undefeated 45 off 34 balls in the previous game despite playing brilliantly in challenging conditions. Irfan Khan, making his debut for Pakistan, amassed an undefeated eighteen runs off of eighteen balls, aided by one four and one six.
In terms of bowling, it will be up to players like Shadab Khan, Abrar Ahmed, Naseem Shah, Mohammad Amir, and Shaheen Shah Afridi to make timely breakthroughs.
Shaheen Afridi, a left-arm rapid bowler, was Pakistan’s best bowler in the previous game, taking 3 for 13 in 3.1 overs.
Mohammad Amir, Shadab Khan, Abrar Ahmed, and Shaheen Afridi were among the other bowlers who bowled well and took two wickets each.

New Zealand will enter this match with little confidence following their comprehensive defeat at the hands of Pakistan in all three categories. The visitors are probably going to alter their starting lineup for Sunday’s match after a dismal batting effort on Saturday.
In terms of batting, New Zealand will mostly depend on players like Dean Foxcroft, Tim Robinson, Mark Chapman, James Neesham, Cole McConchie, and wicketkeeper Tim Seifert to score the majority of the runs.
The visitors in the previous game were dismissed for just 90 runs in 18.1 overs after failing to muster any momentum in their innings.
The pressure will be on bowlers like Ben Lister, Ish Sodhi, Michael Bracewell, and Jacob Duffy to make significant breakthroughs when needed.
Ben Lister, a pacer, and Ish Sodhi both bowled well in the previous game, taking one wicket each.
