2nd T20I NZ vs PAK Dream11 Prediction: Preview
Ever since the 2023 ODI World Cup, New Zealand has been hosting Asian countries and has had mixed results until now. While they won the three-match ODI series against Bangladesh 2-1, the Kiwis had to share a 1-1 result in the T20I series against the Bangla Tigers after one of the matches was washed away.
They now host Pakistan, who have come off of a humiliating 3-0 defeat in the three-match Test series against Australia. While New Zealand will be looking to claim a big series win against a strong in six months away from a T20 World Cup, Pakistan will mostly be playing for honour, to salvage something out of a tour to the Southern Hemisphere.

NZ vs PAK 2nd T20I Dream11: Pitch Report

With a capacity of just 10000, the stadium is one of the ‘picnic-spot’ grounds that New Zealand is famous for. But more importantly, it is a site to some high-scoring T20 matches in the past few years.
As per the 2nd T20I NZ vs PAK Dream11 Prediction, The toss might not play a huge role here, as while batting first on a pitch like this is always ideal, the early swing and seam here might also make bowling first a decent choice.

2nd T20I NZ vs PAK Dream11 Prediction: Who Will Win The Match
Despite looking very similar quality-wise on paper, Pakistan does seem to have a slight edge when it comes to the quality of pace-bowling attack in the side.
While that might provide a slight edge to the guests, New Zealand has a lot better power batting unit. Babar Azam is undoubtedly one of the best batters in the world, but is he a fit in the side when chasing 200+ targets? Maybe not.
With that being said, defeating New Zealand in New Zealand is a big ask, something a down-and-out-looking Pakistan team might not be able to do at the moment
NZ vs PAK Dream11 Match Prediction: New Zealand will defeat Pakistan in the 2nd T20I of the three-match series.
