<p><strong>PAK vs NZ 2nd T20I:</strong> The hosts just outclassed the visitors in the first T20I of the Pakistan tour of New Zealand 2024. The home side is 1-up with the first match done and four left. An average batting and below-par bowling performance ended Pakistan in the losing corner. Pakistan and New Zealand are going to clash on 14 January at Hamilton in the second T20I, and here are the 2 changes Pakistan might make for the PAK vs NZ 2nd T20I.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#pak-vs-nz-2nd-t-20-i-2-changes-pakistan-might-make">PAK vs NZ 2nd T20I: 2 Changes Pakistan might make</a></li><li class=""><a href="#pak-vs-nz-2nd-t-20-i-probable-x-is">PAK vs NZ 2nd T20I: Probable XIs</a></li></ul></nav></div>



<p>In the first T20I, Shaheen Shah Afridi won the toss in his first official outing as the permanent T20I skipper. He opted to bowl and did what he is known for, first-over Wicket! His next over became his most expensive over in the T20I where he conceded 24 runs. Williamson and Mitchell partied together for an 80-run partnership in the next 6 overs.</p>

<p>Small but important cameos from down the order helped New Zealand reach the record total of 226 runs. None of the Pakistani bowlers were below 8 runs per over and Aamer Jamal was the most expensive concerning 55 runs in 4 overs with a zero in the wicket column. Skipper Shaheen Shah also went for 11.50 runs per over whereas Abbas and Haris were the cheapest bowlers bowling at 8.50 runs per over.</p>



<p>When it came to chase, what a wonderful batsman Saim Ayub is! He truly took New Zealand bowlers by storm in the first couple of overs where he scored 27 runs off just 8 balls but an unfortunate runout got him off the field. Babar Azam was too good to return to the shortest format of the sport as he smashed 57 off just 35 balls. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/01/nz-1.jpg" alt="PAK vs NZ 2nd T20I: 2 Changes Pakistan might make for the 2nd T20I against New Zealand; Check Out For Full Details" class="wp-image-125208" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">New Zealand (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p>Interestingly Fakhar Zaman was handed the middle order duties and he was not up to the mark as he was asked. Aamer Jamal showed good signs in the batting as he remained not out with 14 runs in 7 balls next to his name. But wickets kept falling from one side and Pakistan lost the game by as many as 46 runs.</p>



<p>Pakistan got a good start but lost the match in the middle where to middle order left the momentum provided by Babar and Fakhar. So, down below are the 2 changes Pakistan might make for the PAK vs NZ 2nd T20I:</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pak-vs-nz-2nd-t-20-i-2-changes-pakistan-might-make"><strong>PAK vs NZ 2nd T20I: 2 Changes Pakistan might make</strong></h2>



<p><strong>Mohammad Nawaz IN for&nbsp;Usama Mir?</strong></p>



<p>Usama Mir was never looked in control in the first T20I in his four overs. He conceded runs with close to 13 runs-an-over which shows that New Zealand batters were finding him easy. Nawaz comes with his experience and quality left arm off-break. He could also help with the bat down the order and overall he could be a handy pick for the 2nd T20I.</p>



<p><strong>Fakhar to come earlier?</strong></p>



<p>Over the past few years, Rizwan and Babar were opening the batting for Pakistan in the T20I format, but a slow strike rate was their main criticism that allowed the new Pakistani skipper to shuffle the top order. Fakhar Zaman is a batter who has done some majestic work when he opens the innings and Rizwan is the one who can bat at number 4 with ease. </p>



<p>Fakhar's failure in the first T20I can make PCB think tank to reshuffle the top order as Zaman is a promising opener and he could produce some significant impact with Saim Ayub at the top.</p>

<p><strong>PAK vs NZ 2nd T20I: </strong>In what promises to be a really fascinating and entertaining encounter, Babar Azam led Pakistan are set to lock horns against Michael Bracewell?s New Zealand in the second T20i of the five match series at Rawalpindi's Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Saturday. The first T20i got washed out due to rain, but there's no shortage of matches as four games are still left to be played in the series.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Shaheens are not expected to make any changes in their playing 11 and they are expected to field the same team as the first game, featuring a mix of youngsters and experienced players.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The trio of Abrar Ahmed, Irfan Khan Niazi and Usman Khan made their T20 International debut in the previous game but, they didn't get a chance to make their debuts memorable as rain washed out the first T20i.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Saim Ayub and Pakistan's captain Babar Azam are anticipated to open the inning for the Men in Green and wicket keeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan is likely to bat at number three.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The middle order will consist of the likes of Irfan Khan Niazi and Usman Khan, providing a blend of power hitting and stability in the team.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The duo of Shadab Khan and Iftikhar Ahmed will be handling the All - Rounder department of the Shaheens and both of them provide depth and versatility in both bowling and batting. Iftikhar is also someone who can play big shots at will and he will also play the role of the finisher for his side.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Talking about the bowling department, seamers Naseem Shah, Mohammad Amir and Shaheen Shah Afridi will be handling the fast bowling unit. Notably, Mohammad Amir is making his return to Pakistan's Men's National Cricket Team after a span of four years. Abar Ahmed on the other hand will also play a key role for the home side as he will be looking to trouble the Kiwi batters with his spin bowling variations.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The first T20 International game between the two teams was called off after just two balls due to constant rainfall in the city of Rawalpindi. With the weather forecast showing a decrease in the chances of rainfall ahead of the second T20 International, fans would be hoping to enjoy the full game without any interruption.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The first Twenty20I between Pakistan and New Zealand ended in a washout as the rain gods let loose their fury on the cricket pitch. In the inaugural Twenty20 International, just two balls were bowled; the rest was washed away by the rain.</p>



<p>Even in those two bowls, Shaheen Shah stole the show when he castled through the defenses of the debutant opener Tim Robinson in the second bowl of the match before the rain hampered the contest.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/weather.jpg" alt="PAK vs NZ 2nd T20I Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium,?Rawalpindi | Pakistan vs New Zealand 2nd T20I Rain Prediction" class="wp-image-133132" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">PAK vs NZ 2nd T20I Weather Forecast (<a href="https://weather.com/en-IN/weather/today/l/b121dd9288f1f558c1ce73dfe2278c664b8a859a5e4efb143e910a8e9a83061f">weather.com</a>)</figcaption></figure>



<p>According to weather.com, it is an overcast, cool, and moderately humid day in Pindi, Pakistan. The weather forecast shows a high possibility of rain during the day but lower in the latter half of the day and night. There are over 80% rain chances in the morning but the weather seems to be good in the evening. The temperature of Pakistan's Rawalpindi city will stay at 25?C for the most part of the day till the evening and drop further to 19?C at night.</p>



<p>There are low chances of rain throughout the time course of the match but might see a fly-by drizzle. Around an 8% chance of rain at the start of the play and it remains for the match. Humidity is in a moderate range, hovering around 60-70%. Winds will gust toward the West-Northwest at the speed of ~13kmph during the night.</p>

<p>Rain and cloudy weather will benefit the bowlers more, as we witnessed in the first Twenty20 International, even though the Rawalpindi surface is suitable for batting. The hitters will have a significant obstacle as there will be more swing. Therefore, in this game, going to bat first is not the best option.</p>

PAK vs NZ 2nd T20I Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium,?Rawalpindi | Pakistan vs New Zealand 2nd T20I Rain Prediction

pak-vs-nz-2nd-t20i-weather-forecast-and-pitch-report-of-rawalpindi-cricket-stadium-rawalpindi-pakistan-vs-new-zealand-2nd-t20i-rain-prediction

<p>In preparation for the T20 World Cup 2024, New Zealand and Pakistan are currently playing a five-match T20 series. Michael Bracewell captains the New Zealand team on its five-match tour of Pakistan. The first match between the two teams was held in Rawalpindi on April 18th, but the result could not be declared due to rain.</p>



<p>The first match got washed away due to rain, after which all the fans are worried about the same thing, will the second match also get canceled due to rain? Because the first three games of the series are to be played in Rawalpindi. So let us find answers to the questions of all the cricket lovers of Pakistan and New Zealand in this article.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/image.png" alt="" class="wp-image-133141" /></figure>



<p>On the day of the first match (on Thursday), the probability of rain at the time of the match was 80%, as a result of which we saw that the match was cancelled. But there is good news for all Pakistan cricket fans that the probability of rain today (Sunday) has reduced to 24 percent. But according to the weather forecast at the time of the match, there is little chance of rain, which means that a blockbuster match will be seen between both the teams.</p>



<p>Another match between the two teams will be played on 21st April at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, after which the last two matches of both the teams' series are to be played at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.</p>

PAK vs NZ: Will the second match of Pakistan vs New Zealand also be affected by rain?

pak-vs-nz-will-the-second-match-of-pakistan-vs-new-zealand-also-be-affected-by-rain

<p>Pakistan are all set to host New Zealand for the second T20 International games of the five match series tonight at Rawalpindi's Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. The match will commence at 7:30pm IST.</p>



<p>Both the sides will begin their preparations for the 2024 T20 World from the second T20i onwards as the first game was called - off after just two deliveries due to constant rainfall.</p>



<p>The players from both the teams didn't get a chance to play properly in the first T20i and both teams are anticipated to stick with the same playing 11 which took the field on 18th April on a wet night in Rawalpindi.</p>



<p>The visitors have gone with a second string squad which consists of dynamic Youngsters against Pakistan as the senior players of the Black Caps are busy with IPL 2024. The Pakistan series presents a really good opportunity for these young players to perform well and possibly seal their spot in the Black Caps squad for the 2024 T20 World Cup. In the absence of Kane Williamson, Michael Bracewell is handling the leadership duties.</p>



<p>The Black Caps preparations for the Pakistan series were hampered by the ankle injury of seamer Adam Milne and a back injury to opener Finn Allen. The absence of Finn Allen came as a huge loss to the visitors as he completely single handedly thrashed the entire Pakistan bowling unit in their previous series.</p>



<p>Adamn Milne was expected to lead the Kiwi bowling unit in the absence of the main players and him getting ruled out due to an injury made matters worse for the visitors. But, despite facing these difficulties, the 2021 T20 World Cup runners up remain confidential to play good Cricket against the Shaheens and secure the series with the help of the dynamic youngsters.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/Tim-Seifert.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-133153" /></figure>



<p>Talking about the playing 11 of the visitors, wicketkeeper Tim Seifert is anticipated to open the innings alongside Tim Robinson. Robinson didn't have a memorable T20i debut against the Shaheens as Shaheen Shah Afridi cleaned him up with a ripper on the second delivery of the match for a duck. In the second game though, the 21 year old would be looking to play some dynamic Cricket and punish the Pakistan bowling unit.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Seifert on the other hand is known to play big shots at will and once he gets settled on the crease properly, he ends up destroying the opposition bowling unit with his big shots and the Pakistan bowlers need to watch out for him.</p>



<p>With the presence of Jimmy Neesham, Dean Foxcroft, Mark Chapman and Michael Bracewell in the middle order, the Black Caps possess the necessary firepower to counter the bowling unit of Pakistan and chase down huge totals confidently. Neesham will also be providing the extra bowling depth with his medium pace bowling and Bracewell will be handling the spin bowling duties with Ish Sodhi.</p>



<p>Ben Sears and Jacob Duffy will be in charge of the pace bowling unit and they would be looking to trouble the Pakistani batters with their line and lengths and raw pace.</p>



<p>In the bowling department, New Zealand relies on the spin wizardry of Ish Sodhi, complemented by the pace duo of Jacob Duffy and Ben Sears. Ben sears possesses raw pace along with the ability to extract swing from the surface and he can be a wicket taking option for the Kiwis against the Shaheens.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Duffy on the other hand, has been performing consistently well in Domestic Cricket and he had a memorable T20i debut in 2020 against Pakistan as he ran through the top order and ended up finishing with figures of 4-33. The 29 year old would be looking to replicate that performance against the Men in Green and he will be looking to form a lethal partnership with Ben Sears.</p>

PAK vs NZ 2nd T20I: New Zealand's strongest playing 11 against Pakistan in 2nd T20I

pak-vs-nz-2nd-t20i-new-zealands-strongest-playing-11-against-pakistan-in-2nd-t20i

<p><strong>PAK vs NZ 2nd T20I:</strong> What a comeback for Mohammad Amir, what a dream debut for Abrar Ahmed, and what a day for Pakistani bowlers on the field in the 2nd T20I against New Zealand. Pakistan restrict New Zealand at 90 in the first innings.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#pak-vs-nz-2nd-t-20-i-scorecard">PAK vs NZ 2nd T20I Scorecard</a><ul><li class=""><a href="#new-zealand-innings-90-10-18-1-overs">New Zealand Innings- 90/10 (18.1 overs)</a></li></ul></li></ul></nav></div>



<p>Winning the toss, Pakistan again opted to bowl first. It was a partial-clear sky and near-perfect playing conditions, unlike the first T20I which was washed away without a result. </p>



<p>New Zealand got good first and second overs with Tim Seifert taking on Shaheen and Naseem but Shaheen sent him back in his 7th ball of the game. Mohammad Amir was handed the new ball replacing Naseem Shah and he picked up his first ball wicket in his comeback to the international cricket team of Pakistan. A slower one outside off and Robinson couldn't read it and found his dismissal. </p>



<p>Amir, then, sent <a href="https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/11197/dean-foxcroft">Dean Foxcroft</a> back in his second over and it was like a dream spell when you are making such a comeback to the international arena. New Zealand lost three in the powerplay in just 36 runs.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/md-amir.jpg" alt="PAK vs NZ: Amir, Abrar Stars as Pakistan Stunned New Zealand in 2nd T20I " class="wp-image-133178" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Md Amir makes Grand Comeback (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p>The bowler's Carnage didn't stop as the debutant also picked up two wickets in the 9th over of the innings and Pakistan were in the driving seat. Mark Chapman scored 19 runs and that was the highest individual score from the New Zealand side.</p>



<p>Shaheen Afridi dismissed Cole McConchie who is known for big hits but it was not meant to be his night but it was for Afridi. Shadab also picked up a couple of wickets down the order and New Zealand were stunned at just 90 runs in 18.1 overs.</p>



<p>Below is the scorecard of the New Zealand Innings:</p>

<p><strong>PAK vs NZ 2nd T20I Match Highlights:</strong> Babar Azam led Pakistan defeated Michael Bracewell?s New Zealand in a thrilling one sided game by seven wickets with 47 balls to spare in the second T20 International of the five match series at Rawalpindi's Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Saturday.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><div><div class=""><a href="#new-zealand-batting-scorecard">New Zealand Batting Scorecard</a></div><div class=""><a href="#pakistan-bowling-scorecard">Pakistan Bowling Scorecard</a></div><div class=""><a href="#pakistan-batting-scorecard">Pakistan Batting Scorecard</a></div><div class=""><a href="#new-zealand-bowling-scorecard">New Zealand Bowling Scorecard</a></div></div></nav></div>



<p>Pakistan's Wicketkeeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan, who became the quickest player to score 3,000 runs in the shortest format of the game, played a key role for his side as he top scored for the Shaheens with his inning of 45 runs and once again proved why he is regarded as one of the most important players for the Pakistani Men?s National Cricket team</p>



<p>Chasing a low total of 91 runs, the home side were handed a blow in the very first over of their inning as opening batsman Saim Ayib got dismissed on the second delivery of the inning for?just?four?runs.</p>



<p>Post the dismissal of Ayub, Mohammad Rizwan walked out to bat at number three and was hoping to build a partnership with Babar (14 runs) at the other end but the skipper didn't stay at the crease for a long time as he had to walk back to the pavilion thanks to a magical delivery by Michael Bracewell.</p>



<p>Following the dismissal of Babar Azam, Usman Khan, who recently switched his Cricket board from the UAE to Pakistan, was knocked over by leg spinner Ish Sodhi for a mere seven runs. However, Usman?s wicket was the last one to fall as the duo of Irfan Khan Niazi and Mohammad Rizwan helped Pakistan get over the line against?the?Kiwis</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/Mohammad-Rizwan.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-133187" /></figure>



<p>The two batsmen got involved in a partnership of 36 runs as Irfan contributed 18 runs with the bat while Rizwan remained unbeaten at 45 runs. The Men in Green now lead the five match T20i series 1-0 after the first game was washed out due to rain.</p>



<p>Earlier in the New Zealand inning, the home side?s bowling unit looked in some really good form as they bowled out the entire Black Caps team for a total of just 90 runs in 18.1 overs</p>



<p>The Kiwis were never in the game as they faced a lot of difficulties against the seam bowling unit of?the?Shaheens.</p>



<p>In the third over of the New Zealand inning, Pakistan's former T20i skipper Shaheen Shah Afridi, known for extracting a good amount of movement with the new ball, sent Kiwi opener Tim Seifert back to the dugout as he scored just 12 runs.</p>

<p>Mohammad Amir from the other end, who was playing his first International game for Pakistan after a gap of almost four years, dismissed the other opener Tim Robinson for just four runs in his first over. The 29 year old continued to increase difficulties for the visitors as he dismissed Dean Foxcroft in his second over as captain Babar Azam took?a?simple?catch.</p>



<p>The visitors managed to prevent further dismissals till the next two overs of their inning but spinner Abrar Ahmed took two scalps in quick fashion in the ninth over, dismissing the likes of Jimmy Neesham (one run) and Mark Chapman (19 runs).</p>



<p>Naseem Shah and Shadab Khan applied the finishing touches as the Black Caps got bundled out for 90 runs. Just four Kiwi batters managed to score double digit runs as the home side dominated the game with the ball.</p>



<p>Shaheen Shah Afridi dismissed three batters, while the likes of Abrar Ahmed, Mohammad Amir and Shadab Khan picked two wickets each. Naseem Shah managed to dismiss just a&nbsp;single&nbsp;batter.</p>
