Pakistan will take on New Zealand to register its third victory in the T20 series on 17th April 2023. In the first T20 games, Pakistan excellently managed to dominate black caps. Pakistani Skipper Babar Azam maintained his form with the bat against New Zealand by hitting a brilliant hundred. On the other hand, New Zealand failed to continue its form in Lahore against Pakistan. Skipper Tom Latham must lead the squad from the front in the batting line to save them from the whitewash. Meanwhile, Pakistan will be looking towards a glorious victory in the third T20 match against New Zealand to register a 3-0 win.
In the third T20 match against New Zealand, the hosts will continue their form with the same squad they played in the first two games. After smashing New Zealand in the first two T20 games, green shirts are ready to dominate in the third T20 match on Monday. On the other hand, New Zealand will appear in the third T20 match against Pakistan with a slightly changed squad. To encounter Pakistan for victory in the third match, Ben Listener may replace Blair Tickner.
Date: 17th April 2023
Venue: Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore
The playing surface at Gaddafi Stadium will be full of runs for the batting departments in the third T20 match. In the first two T20 games, the pitch preferred batting site to score high in the competition. The weather will be clear on 17th April 2023 in Lahore. The humidity percentage will be twenty-five on the match day. The team winning the toss will decide to bat first. In the last two T20 games, the side batting first has marked victory in the match. So both skippers will look forward to batting first in the third T20 match.
In the first two T20 matches, Pakistan has splendid excellent victories against New Zealand. Hosts will also look to dominate in the third T20 match in Lahore. Pakistan’s batting and bowling departments played a significant role in registering victories in the previous two games. Skipper Babar Azam recorded his century against New Zealand during the last T20 match.
In the third T20 match, Pakistan’s batting line will rely on Captain Babar Azam, wicketkeeper Muhammad Rizwan, Saim Ayyub, Iftikhar Ahmad and Fakhar Zaman. The batting site will be excited to contribute high runs in the third T20 match against the black caps. Captain Babar Azam smashed the Kiwi bowlers in the second T20 match against New Zealand by hitting a brilliant century. Babar recorded his third T20 century for Pakistan in the limited-overs format.
Babar Azam contributed 101 scores off 58 deliveries by staying at the wicket. Wicketkeeper Muhammad Rizwan played a supportive role with Babar and added fifty runs to the total score. For the third T20 match breakouts, Pakistan will rely on Shaheen Shah Afridi, Zaman Khan, Haris Rauf, Shadab Khan and Imad Waseem. Haris Rauf is the top wicket-taker for Pakistan in the T20 series against New Zealand. Haris picked up eight scalps in the previous two games.
After facing defeat in the first two games, New Zealand will look for a comeback in the third T20 match. Captain Tom Latham will depend on Will Young, Chad Bowes, Daryl Mitchell, James Neesham and Mark Chapman in the batting line. Mark Chapman will be the best batter for the black caps as he scored sixty-eight runs off 40 deliveries in the previous match. Rookie Chad Bowes will play a supportive role for his team. Matt Henry, James Neesham, Rachin Ravindra, and Henry Shipley will try to restrict Pakistani batters in the bowling department.
Pakistan has successfully finished the previous two games against New Zealand. Now Team Pakistan will smash the black caps in the third T20 match. Although New Zealand will look for a comeback in the third T20 match, the Pakistani squad’s batting and bowling line is more vital than the Kiwi departments. So we prefer Pakistan to mark a 3-0 victory in the T20 series against New Zealand.
