The second match of the t20 series between Pakistan and New Zealand will be played today.Both the teams will face each other in five matches in this series.However, the New Zealand team defeated Pakistan by 46 runs in the first match of this series due to which they are leading by one nil. Let's see how well Pakistan can play today If Pakistan win today against New Zealand then this series will be tied one by one. If we go back to the play of the first match, we can see that Pakistan's bowling was not good in the first match. Every bowler of Pakistan team has given more runs per over in the first T20 match as a result of which New Zealand team accumulated a huge capital of 227 runs. In reply to 227 Pakistan were bowled out for just 180 but they got off to a great start.

Some crazy cricketers out there these days. 99.99% would have expected that shot to go for a six/four, but that dude pulled off a stunner thanks to his epic athletic skills. Jonty Rhodes would be proud.

I am not sure what made Pakistan think that they can chase. Last match they were not able to chase the big target. Their bowlers gave away a lot of runs and now they won the toss and choose to bowl first. Let's see what happens in this match. Allen and Conway are looking good as of now. The current run rate is above 9.

In the second T20 match between India and Pakistan, Pakistan's bowlers are not able to take advantage of the decision to field after winning the toss. That's because New Zealand's opening batsmen are off to a great start. The way New Zealand's batsmen are playing, they look like they can score 190 runs. New Zealand's current score is 105 for one in nine overs. Their current playing conditions seem likely to give Pakistan a target of 190 runs. If Pakistan is given a target of 190 runs then it will be very difficult for Pakistan to win the second T20 match.

Not looking good for Pakistan in this manner New Zealand will easily cross 200 runs. They are not bowling to their full potential. Only 1 wicket has gone and 9 overs are left the New Zealand batters will try to increase the run rate now. They will lose some wickets but it won't affect their run rate. Pakistan not delivering again what they were expected to do in the second match.

Edit: The target for Pakistan is now 195 runs, good comeback at last but can the Pakistani batter chase it?

Pakistan needs a strong batting performance to chase down target now 159 runs needs in 94 balls to win and level the series 1-1. After the defeate from the first T20I Pakistan  team focus should be on a solid partnership that are required to win this match Now Babar and Fakhar patnership is very crucial for Pakistan. The decision to field first shows an not good and now it's crucial for the batsmen to capitalize on this opportunity and chase down 195 runs target. The match outcome hinges on their ability to build partnerships between Babar and fakhar and maintain a positive run rate. Let's hope for an exciting and successful chase for Pakistan

As you have seen, in the first innings, Kane Williamson was retired Hurt due to injury and this is the most brilliant thing for Pakistan because in the previous match, he hit very many boundaries which didn't allow the Pakistan team to win so this time, he was retired hurt.

Still, they managed to score 194 runs. I wonder if Kane Williamson had remained not out, the target would have been much stiffer for the Pakistan team.

In today's match, Kane Williamson was played in the ground but not for long and in this small time, he was also hitting boundaries and playing unstoppable cricket but on the other hand, this is the most emotional thing for New Zealand because after some time they will not see him in the ground but this was good for the Pakistan Team.

Pakistan is now looking good they now need 90 runs more to win. Babar Azam is still playing and hopefully he will get his half century. Fakhar Zaman was batting well, he got his half century but got bowled. He was the danger batter for the New Zealand team. The runs have dried down after his dismissal as the asking run rate is now above 10. Pakistan batters now need some quick boundaries to keep it in control.

The New Zealand team scored 194 runs in the first innings with the loss of 8 wickets. Pakistan team lost the first match in New Zealand field it is difficult to say whether they can win today's match but if Faqar Zaman was not out then it might have been possible to win the match. It will be very difficult for Pakistan to win the match today as they are currently under a lot of pressure even though they have lost important wickets. If Babar Azam can survive then maybe there will be some chance to win the match and if he gets out then Pakistan team will lose the second T20 match today. Pakistan still has a long way to go to win, scoring 71 runs off 35 balls is not an easy task, only possible if they can bat well. Pakistan team though is still under a lot of pressure as they have lost all their important wickets so today's match is more likely to be won by New Zealand and the result of 5th T20 series can be 2-0.
