Pakistan vs New Zealand
Huh! Finally today is starting T20I series between Pakistan and New Zealand. They will play 5 matches series in our country Pakistan. They will Play first three matches in Rawalpindi and rest of two matches in Lahore. So today is the first match. And this is really difficult to predict who will win this match. New Zealand is a strong team but we should keep in mind that Pakistan is in home ground. And one more thing which is important is that Pakistan recently finished the PSL and they selected some top players from PSL performance so I hope Pakistan will do well in this series. So let's see.
Today New Zealand team will perform well in this match, because New Zealand team perform very well in T20 matches. But Pakistan team is one of the best team, these two teams have vast experience players in their squad. Their performance is so good that today's match can be won only on the basis of experience and skill. New Zealand team has more attacking batsmen in the T20 game, but I will support the New Zealand team in today's match. Because the New Zealand team has many great and best players in the batting line and bowling line.
Today's match promises to be exciting! In T20 cricket, the game can swing in any team's favor, but Pakistan holds the edge in this series. The match takes place in Rawalpindi as Pakistan hosts New Zealand in the first T20 international match of the series.
New Zealand's T20 squad comprises their top domestic performers but has future stars. However, the absence of their main players is noticeable in this match. Yet, this is not Pakistan's concern. Last year, Pakistan defeated New Zealand in New Zealand even when their senior players were in the squad. Let's wait and see which team will face the brunt of the competition.
We will watch today's match which team shows their best performance on the field. Both the team Pakistan and New Zealand are the best teams and it is very difficult to predict the performance of any team whether they will win or lose the match because both the teams are well-experienced and skillful. They played many t20 matches in which Pakistan dominated them mean won many matches recently they played PSL matches in which some other good players were added to the team which will give a difficult time to the New Zealand team. Also, it's a home town for Pakistan which also helps Pakistan to be more confident and play well.
Heavy rain from the start of this Pakistan vs New Zealand match, until now it is raining heavily. So currently the match is suspended, we have to wait for this game till the rain ends and we have to wait for the decision taken by the cricket board.
Mumbai Indians vs Punjab Kings
Mumbai's batsmen are in a good rhythm now. Despite not being able to win against Chennai in the last match, Mumbai players batted well against Bengaluru and Delhi in the previous two matches. The team scored 199 runs in 15.3 overs against Bengaluru and set a huge target of 235 runs against Mumbai and Delhi. This is why I am betting on Mumbai to win today's match. Hope the team doesn't disappoint me. Moreover, Punjab team is not in good form now.
Punjab today won the toss and decided to field. After 6 overs, Mumbai Indians managed to collect 54 runs by losing 1 wicket. Rohit and Suryakumar Yadav are batting responsibly. If Mumbai don't lose quick wickets then the team is sure to collect more than 200 in today's match as well.
Punjab Kings skipper won the toss and decided to bowl first but Punjab Kings bowlers did not take advantage as Mumbai Indians opener pair Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma got off to a great start. But Ishan Kishan did not bat very well and got out for only eight runs but Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav are batting responsibly for the team. The current state of play of Mumbai Indians looks like they can give Punjab Kings a target of 200 plus runs. If the target of 200 runs can be given to Punjab Kings by controlled bowling, maybe Mumbai Indians will have a chance to win against Punjab Kings.
Mumbai Indians scored 192 runs for seven wickets, with wickets falling early in the match. After opening batsman Ishan Kishan got out, I was shocked that Mumbai Indians could not give more runs to Punjab Kings in this match. But Surayakumar Yadav, who completely ruined the game, he collected 78 runs from 53 balls, which is the highest run of the Mumbai Indians team.
