PAK vs NZ Match Analysis

In this article, we will analyze the Cricket Prediction for Pakistan vs New Zealand of 4th T20I on April 25. Will the visiting NZ see a 2nd consecutive victory after defeating the hosts PAK? At Lahore’s Gaddafi Cricket Stadium, Pakistan and New Zealand will play their fourth Twenty20 International (T20I) game of the five-match series on Thursday.

Men in Green will go into the match with poor self-esteem following their seven-wicket loss in the third match. In the upcoming game, captain Babar Azam will be hoping that the team can put on a clinical display. New Zealand, on the other hand, will enter the match with a lot of confidence following a thrilling victory in the third match to tie the T20I series.

After losing on Sunday despite having a poor batting and bowling effort, the home team will be extremely unhappy. During the third T20I, Rizwan injured his hamstring; he may be rested for the following game. In the starting lineup, Fakhar Zaman will take his spot. The BlackCaps will go into this game looking to carry on their winning streak. The visiting team won’t alter their starting lineup in any way.

PAK vs NZ outfield report

Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore

Both teams will be eager to win the toss, choose to bat first, and score a respectable total of more than 170 runs. In the last four T20I held in Lahore, the team that batted first won.

The encounter on Thursday is expected to take place under clear skies with a 31% humidity level.

The venue’s track will be level. It will somewhat assist the bowlers. However, as the game progresses, the wicket might be able to provide some assistance to the spinners. There’s no denying that the fast bowlers will once more have their hands full.
