On Wednesday, at the SCG in Sydney, New Zealand will play resurgent Pakistan in the first semi-final. Meanwhile, India will face England on Thursday at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide, where they are favourites. Kevin Pietersen, a former cricketer for England, is of the opinion that there should not be a final between India and Pakistan.</p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" data-src="https://cricketwinner.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/nz-vs-pak-live-1024x569.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-30884 lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" style="--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024/569;" loading="lazy" /><noscript><img decoding="async" src="https://cricketwinner.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/nz-vs-pak-live-1024x569.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-30884" loading="lazy"/></noscript><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image Source: ICC Cricket</figcaption></figure><p>The legendary batsman believes there is “a very good chance” that Pakistan and England will meet in the final.,</p><blockquote class="wp-block-quote has-light-green-cyan-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>“I think the world of cricket wants to see Pakistan take on India in the final, but there’s a very good chance it’s going to be England v Pakistan.
