Despite being well-placed in the 2nd T20I at 97-2 in 10 overs, requiring 102 in the last 10 overs with Babar Azam set, Pakistan faltered in the chase and suffered a 21-run defeat.

NZ vs PAK Win Prediction
New Zealand enters the upcoming match as the favorites, backed by their impressive performances with both bat and ball in the series so far. While Pakistan has shown glimpses of good form, the contributions have been sporadic, with only Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman standing out. Additionally, Pakistan’s bowling and fielding have been subpar. Given these factors, the prediction favors New Zealand to secure a victory in the 3rd T20 against Pakistan.
NZ vs PAK Toss Prediction
Both teams are likely to have a preference for chasing in this match. With the boundaries being on the shorter side, defending a target could prove challenging. Therefore, winning the toss and opting to bowl first might be the strategic choice for the team captains.
NZ vs PAK Pitch Report
The pitch is expected to be flat, requiring bowlers to be exceptionally accurate to pose challenges for the batters. Given the nature of the venue as a high-scoring one, the anticipation is that the match could witness a third successive high-scoring game.

The weather for the match is expected to be overcast, but there is no indication of rain. However, it will be a chilly day with temperatures hovering around 10 degrees.
