Weather Report

Australia is going through a rainy season, and many world cup matches were disturbed due to rain. This match can also face the same fate because there are chances of rain and a cloudy environment on the ground on the match day.

Pakistan Vs New Zealand Match Preview

Pakistan team lost the first two World Cup matches but returned strongly in the next matches. India and Zimbabwe defeated Pakistan in close encounters. Pakistan easily won the game against South Africa, the Netherlands, and Bangladesh, which helped it to reach this stage. It was more luck than good cricket that brought Pakistan to the semi finals. Pakistani openers were the main batters before the world cup but could not perform in the event. The middle-order batter Shan Masood, Iftikhar Ahmad, and Shadab Khan played outstandingly with the bat.

The young talent Haris came late to the team as a replacement for Fakhar Zaman but made an impact with his two innings. Muhammad Nawaz scored some runs also. In the bowling unit, all four fast bowlers are outstanding. Shaheen Afridi came into his own in the last two matches. Muhammad Wasim and Naseem Shah bowled well in the whole tournament. Haris Rauf will be a dark horse for the game, and it is my prediction in Pakistan vs New Zealand World Cup Semi Final Predictions. Shadab Khan was the best bowler in the tournament for Pakistan. Nawaz and Iftikhar also bowled some over with great authority.

New Zealand won three matches in the group stage, and their one match was abandoned due to rain. So, the team reached the top due to their run rate because England and New Zealand have 7 points on the table. The New Zealand team has a perfect batting lineup starting from the high-flying opener Finn Allen. The following two batters, Devon Conway and Kane Williamson are class batters who played the anchor role. Then, Glenn Philips, Daryl Mitchell, and James Neesham played in the middle order. Mitchell Santner can also bat down the order.

The New Zealand bowling lineup is equally good. The experienced duo of Trent Boult and Tim Southee bowled exceptionally well with the new ball in this tournament. Lockie Ferguson bowled with a fast pace and good line and length that caused trouble to the other team's batters. Jimmy Neesham also bowled some medium pacers and took a few wickets in the world cup. The spin bowling of Mitchell Santner and Ish Sodhi is the most important factor in New Zealand's success. Both spinners bowled on a good line and proved to be economical as well as wicket-takers. Let's move to other details in our Pakistan vs New Zealand World Cup Semi Final Predictions.

Pakistan Vs New Zealand Key Players

Pakistan Key Players

Muhammad Haris

The younger batter announced him in a short stint of the world cup. He played fast and furious cricket and was one of the best in terms of strike rate. Muhammad Haris has no fear of fast bowlers and can even play some pull shorts with authority.

Shadab Khan

Shadab Khan is one of the best all-rounders of the world cup. So far, he has taken ten wickets in the world cup and scored some runs. His innings of 50+ against South Africa put Pakistan on track to reach the semi finals. Shadab Khan will be the difference maker for his team as we move further in our Pakistan vs New Zealand World Cup Semi Final Predictions.

Shaheen Afridi

Shaheen Afridi was the hero of the last match of the group stage. He took four wickets in the match to help his team restrict Bangladesh to a low total. Shaheen looked out of rhythm in the first three matches but took seven wickets in the last two games and took his position as the front-line bowler of the team.

New Zealand Key Players

Kane Williamson

Kane Williamson was not enjoying good form before the world cup. He looked out of touch in the first matches but returned strongly as his team's front-line batter. The captain must play well to take his team home in this world cup.

Glenn Philips

Glenn Philips is the power hitter of the team. He played in the middle order and took away matches from the hands of the opposition with his fast-paced scoring rate. He is the difference maker in the New Zealand team as per our Pakistan vs New Zealand World Cup Semi Final Predictions.

Mitchell Santner

Mitchell Santner is the left-arm spinner who can be the key player for his team because Pakistani players struggle against left-arm spinners in this world cup. Santner can also bat at number seven for his team and is a brilliant fielder.
