The 19th Match of the T20 World Cup 2021/22 is scheduled to play Pakistan vs New Zealand on Tuesday, 26th October 2021 at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah.

Pakistan made history by winning with a huge margin of 10 wickets against India. This had happened for the first time in their T20 cricket history that they had beaten not only India but any team with this margin. We must appreciate the performance of the bowling unit of Pakistan especially Shah Shah Afridi who picked three key wickets of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, and the skipper, Virat Kohli. He gave an early breakthrough in his 1st two overs by getting the wickets of Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul. Hasan Ali picked two wickets but he was the most expensive bowler as well. He leaked 44 runs in his four overs.

New Zealand had played just one warmup match before the start of their T20 World Cup campaign. They were beaten by Australia by the margin of three wickets. The batting order of New Zealand performed well and scored 158 runs. Martin Guptill, Daryl Mitchell, and Kane Williamson scored runs but none of the above-mentioned batters could cross the 40 mark. James Neesham was the other batsman who scored 30 plus runs. We have no doubt that batsmen like Glenn Phillips, Martin Guptill, Devon Conway, Glenn Phillips, Kane Williamson, and James Neesham are strong when they come to the T20 format of cricket.

Pakistan had played 24 matches against New Zealand where Pakistan had won 14 matches while New Zealand had won 10 matches.

We have no doubt that New Zealand is overall a strong team as compared to Pakistan at least on papers. According to our today prediction, New Zealand is the favorite team that will win this match. There are many factors that make New Zealand a favorite team to win this match. Some of the key factors are mentioned as under:

• New Zealand is overall a strong team than Pakistan
• The opening pair of Pakistan batting is in superb form
• New Zealand has a strong batting order on their side
• The bowling department of both teams is strong

New Zealand is full of experienced and young players of the t20 format. The batting order of this team is also strong and some well-known hitters of the t20 format are part of the squad of this team, so the winning chances of today’s match for New Zealand have been increased. The equation of who will win today’s cricket match prediction and who will win the cricket match today is mentioned as under.

New Zealand has a 56% chance to win this match
Pakistan has a 44% chance to win this match

The toss will play an important role in the decision of all matches of World Cup T20. Having a good total on the board is always a big advantage in these kinds of big matches. According to our toss prediction, the team that will win the toss may choose to bat first.

The 19th Match of World Cup T20 2021 is going to be held at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting. The track is slower than the others we have seen and helps the spinners quite a bit. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this match. A score of 170 is going to be tough to chase.

The weather forecast in Sharjah is predicting some clouds around on match day but the weather forecast does not predict rain. We should be able to have a full uninterrupted match.
