NZ vs PAK Match Prediction – Who Will Win

Pakistan has already played one game against India at the R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. So, they have an advantage, while New Zealand played all group stage matches in India. However, New Zealand has a stronger middle and top order than Pakistan, and they know how to counter Pakistan's spin attack. We backed New Zealand to triumph in this match.

Prediction: New Zealand to win.
