New Zealand is all geared up to face Pakistan in the upcoming 3rd T20 match on 22 January, 2016 (Friday) at the Westpac Stadium in Wellington, New Zealand. This match is scheduled to commence at 6:00 am local time and with both the teams having won one match each so far in this T20 series, it will be interesting to see both the teams battling it out on the field. In the 2nd T20 match, New Zealand defeated the Pakistan side by 10 wickets; hence leveling themselves with the visitors. Friday’s 3rd T20 will be the decider match of this series. With the Kiwis trying to maintain their supremacy by continuing their winning momentum, Pakistan definitely has the upper hand in this series with their victory in the first match.
Kane Williamson and Martin Guptill put forward the highest partnership score in T20s with 171 runs in the first match and chased down the 169 run target set by Pakistan in the 2nd T20 match. This score was achieved within 18 overs and the levels were set straight. Both Kane Williamson and Martin Guptill with 72 and 87 runs each strengthen the batting side with their miraculous skills with the bat and are also great choices to be placed bets on. The bowling side has players like McClenaghan, Milne, Elliott, Anderson and Santner who will be putting much pressure on Pakistan’s batsmen.
Players like McClenaghan and Milne are good to be considered wagering on from the bowling side while Santner is also expected to put up a great show. Posing a stiff challenge to the Pakistani team, the Kiwis showcased a brilliant performance without losing even a single wicket in the previous match, which is why the hosts are more expected of putting up a blazing performance during the 3rd T20 as well.
Shoaib Malik and Umar Akmal helped the Pakistani team reach a decent score of 168 runs with 39 and 56 runs each; however, it was all in futile with the Kiwis side making way for a brilliant partnership opening of Williamson and Guptill. During the first match of this T20 series, Pak bowlers posed a great attacking stifle for the Kiwi batsmen and the pace attacks of bowlers like Mohammad Amir and Wahab Riaz was hugely appreciated. These players helped the Pak side by making Kiwis lose 4 of their wickets while the spinners came handy resulting in a complete wipeout. What the Pakistani team needs is a perfect game plan with strategic moves to regroup and attack the Kiwis this Friday.
Mohammad Hafeez with his 61 runs in the opening match is a great player to look forward to in the top order while Sohaib Maqsood and Ahmed Shehzad are expected to strengthen the middle- orders; hence helping in stabilizing this T20 series.
The Kiwis side definitely has some edge over Pakistan with their impeccable victory so far in this series. While the Pakistani team will try to get back to its winning spree, the New Zealand team certainly has more control over this upcoming match. Looking at the previous matches in this series, Kiwis are expected to showcase yet another all- rounder performance to win both this match as well as the series. Weather in Wellington is predicted to remain clear and sunny during the 3rd T20 between New Zealand and Pakistan.
New Zealand: 1.44, Pakistan: 2.75
