New Zealand are favorites to win
New Zealand will be up against the Pakistan in the 2nd T20I of the five match T20I series. The match will be played at Seddon Park, Hamilton and will start at 11:40 PM IST on January 14.
New Zealand picked up a comprehensive 46 run win over Pakistan in the 1st T20I. The Kiwis hammered the visitors’ bowlers and posted a score of 226-8 in 20 overs, with Daryl Mitchell and Kane Williamson scoring fifties. Later, Pakistan came out all guns blazing and were in the chase for the most part, however, they needed one player to play a big innings and take the team home. There were many cameos but the big innings did not come and Pakistan were eventually bowled out for 180.
The Men in Green have will take a lot of positives from the game and will be keen to make a bounce back into the series but Kiwis are a brute force at home. The 2nd T20I is set up for a cracking match.
TV channels: In Pakistan, PTV sports will broadcast the series. Fans in New Zealand can watch the matches on Super Sports Network.
Live Streaming: The New Zealand vs Pakistan T20I series will be available to watch on Amazon Prime in India.
Captains will prefer to chase as the grounds in New Zealand are small and defending a target is very tough.
The pitch will be flat and there won’t be much movement on offer. The ball will come on nicely so expect another high scoring match between the two teams.
There will be some clouds around but the good news is that rain is unlikely to affect the game. The temperature will range between 29 and 20 degrees.

New Zealand registered a big win in the 1st T20I and the team will be keen to take a 2-0 lead in the series. The hosts won’t be keen on making changes to the winning combination. Santner is unlikely to play as he is not fit.
New Zealand were brilliant in the last game and the team will look to replicate the performance in the second T20I as well.
Kane Williamson(c), Devon Conway, Finn Allen, Daryl Mitchell, Mark Chapman, Ish Sodhi, Glenn Phillips, Matt Henry,Ben Sears, Adam Milne, Tim Southee
Pakistan lost the first game but they have a lot of positives to take. Most of the players made some sort of contribution thus we feel that Pakistan will also go with an unchanged playing XI.
Pakistan is a good T20I team but they can blow hot and cold. The team will need all their players to show some consistency in the series if they are to win the series.
Fakhar Zaman, Saim Ayub, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Azam Khan, Aamer Jamal, Usama Mir, Shaheen Afridi, Abbas Afridi, Jr, Haris Rauf
Pakistan have a good record against New Zealand and they are a very good T20I team. However, they can struggle away from home.

New Zealand are getting the favourites tag on betting platforms. The team picked up a comprehensive in the first game and showed how tough a team they can be to beat at home.
We suggest backing New Zealand to win. As hosts, Kiwis deserve the favourites tag. They also picked a comprehensive win in the first T20I where the batters and bowlers delivered in unison.
Finn Allen, Kane Williamson and Daryl Mitchell will be the main batters for New Zealand. Allen played a crisp innings of 34 in the last game while Mitchell and Williamson scored 61 and 57 respectively.
Babar Azam and Mohammed Rizwan will be main batters for Pakistan. Babar scored 57 in the first game while Rizwan scored 25. Both players are known to play big innings. Also, Saim Ayub looked in great form in the first game and will be eyeing a good show in next game.
The bowling for New Zealand will rest on Tim Southee, Adam Milne and Matt Henry. The three pacers bowled well in the first game. Southee was the pick of the bowlers as he took four wickets for 26 runs but Milne and Henry also were decent. They leaked a few runs but they were spot on with their lines and lengths.
Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf will be the two key bowlers for Pakistan. The bowlers took three and two wickets respectively in first game. Abbas Afridi also showed good form and picked three wickets.
New Zealand will be the favourites to win. The team registered a big win in the first game and showed that they are very tough to beat at home. With quality in batting and depth in bowling, they will challenge Pakistan to the core. The Asian team will have to be at their absolute best to win against New Zealand. We are backing New Zealand to win.
