Read Pakistan vs New Zealand NZ vs Pak 1st T20 Prediction
very difficult to make cricket match prediction T20 cricket due to its short format. only one performance can change the whole scenario for any team. A bowler can change in just 24 balls and a batsman can change in few balls. Any how if we look at the stats of head to head contests between Pakistan vs New Zealand, Pakistan won out of 9 hence has a greater winning ration over NZ cricket team.
