Again, how can you be so sure? Did you watched the 3rd T20I between New Zealand and Pakistan? Apart from Iftikhar Ahmed at no.8 (who scored a valuable 60 runs from 24 balls) none of the Pakistani batsmen were able to make significant contributions. At one point, they were 88/7. And remember that this is against a second string New Zealand attack that is lacking Tim Southee, Kyle Jamieson, Trent Boult and Mitchell Santner. On paper, Pakistan is much stronger than New Zealand. But consistency is a big problem, as it has been in the recent past.

4th T20I was no different then 3rd one except that Pakistan were not able to bat. New Zealand batsmen have done a good job by scoring 164 runs with one over to spare. Pakistan batting lineup is too much dependent on what Babar and Rizwan score as opener. Rizwan is most inconsistent player in Pakistani batting and Babar is a good batsmen but as a captain his performance is disappointing. PCB must do something about there roles.

Yesterday's 4th T20 match between Pakistan vs New Zealand was postponed due to rain and there was no match result.  But I was pretty sure in my prediction that if the match had ended well then Pakistan would have won. However, if New Zealand had won this match, Pakistan and new New Zealand  will same score. because Pakistan had won 1st and 2nd match and New Zealand was won 3rd match against Pakistan.

Delhi Capitals got two points and were the only team left with no points. A look at the points table now shows the points of all the teams. A win in one match after facing six matches will further boost the morale of the Delhi Capitals players. However, Kolkata Knight Riders could not score too many runs in this match against Delhi due to heavy wicket pressure, which led to victory for Delhi Capitals. warner 57 runs helped the team win and the few runs scored by the rest of the players would have made it difficult for Delhi Capitals to win.

Delhi Capitals team bowled very well by Ishant. He took 2 wickets with 19 runs in 4 overs. Kuldeep Yadav took 2 wickets with 15 runs in 3 overs. Axar took 2 wickets with 13 runs in 3 overs. Delhi  The players of Capitals team played very well in this match and won the match. We have seen in the previous matches that Delhi Capitals did not win any match. They got 2 points for winning this match. I did not think that Kolkata Knight Riders team will perform so badly.
You can praise the bowlers of Delhi Capitals but here I will blame the failure of Kolkata Knight Riders. Apart from Jason Roy and Russell, nobody batted there. But there were many good batsmen. Here Kolkata Knight Riders batting disaster is considered as the main reason to defeat the match. Moreover, what would have happened to Delhi Capitals if they had not won this small target what will happen? After all, every day the game is not equal. So whatever happens is normal. If Delhi Capitals take this win as a inspiration to do well in the upcoming matches then it can definitely be a good comeback for them.

Pakistan brought Spin attack to control the score and Imad wasim did well. He Picked up two wicket earlier and given only 8 runs. New Zealand now 44 runs in five over with lost of two wicket. NZ batsmen looking so aggressive in this match. Power play over and now they will be looking for good total to defend. If they did not lose another wicket earlier then this partnership might be dangerous one for Pak bowlers. Total score can be 170+ now.
Rain along with thunderstorm has come to rescue Pakistan. Its raining heavily here and didn't looks like play will resume tonight. New Zealand were on top when play was interrupted because of rain. In 18.5 overs New Zealand score was 164 and Mark Chapman was not out on 71. With 7 balls remaining it is very much expected that New Zealand may give target of somewhere around 175. Target of 170 or more is not easy to chase specially if its Pakistan.
New Zealand played beautifully today which was not seen in their previous games.  164 runs in 18.5 overs was not a bad score.  They could have easily collected 5-10 more runs in the remaining 7 balls.  But even if they give Pakistan a target of 175 runs, Pakistan can beat their target by playing against New Zealand. Because Pakistan has good enough players and they are good enough and focused in playing cricket. even if it is played again after rain, I think Pakistan will win

The match is being delayed due to rain. There is also a possibility that the match will be abandoned. But if not abandoned, New Zealand will probably win. If they can deliver a target of 175 runs on a pitch that will be a good enough collection. On the other hand, it is almost impossible to predict Pakistan's batting performance. There is no doubt that Pakistan will win if Babar and Rizwan are able to play well. But these two players are not able to play well and it is difficult for Pakistan to win. Because the performance of any batsman in Pakistan is not regular.

I for some reason donot like Venkatesh Iyer, maybe it's his batting style or his sloppy fielding. He has been vey inconsistent with his bat and that makes him not someone to put your trust on. The last over and three back to back six by Russell helped KKR go beyond the 100 score mark.

I have a good opinion about Venkatesh Iyer. He has the potential to become a promising all rounder. India is facing an acute shortage of quality pace bowling allrounders. Venkatesh can easily fill this vacuum, if he is groomed properly. At this point, only Hardik Pandya can handle pace bowling and batting equally well. Other options such as Shardul Thakur are weak in the batting department. But as I said earlier, the biggest problem with Venkatesh is his inconsistency. He scored a century in one match, and got out for zero in the next one.

Delhi Capitals persisted with Mustafizur Rahman despite persistent failures. They should have given chances to reserve players much earlier. At least now they decided to bring in Ishant Sharma and his experience was very valuable during yesterday's match. And for the first time so far in this season, Anrich Nortje got some support from the other end. Kolkata Knight Riders put up a very poor performance. Only Jason Roy was able to dig in and towards the end Andre Russell made some valuable runs. Venkatesh Iyer once again showed how inconsistent he is.

First win by DC in this season. This win will give a morale boost to the players and especially the captain. Good thinking by the team management in adding Ishant Sharma into the bowling attack. It worked wonders for DC as they were able to eliminate KKR top order within the powerplay.

The batting order of DC still looks shaky. If Warner hadn't scored 57 then they would have lost this match too. Prithvi Shaw again failed to give his team a good start. It has become quite common now as he has been getting out cheaply.

I don't know why everyone here is saying that Pakistan was going to win the match if the rain interruption didn't happened. I don't agree with that argument. New Zealand could have scored somewhere around 175-180 from 20 overs. And during the last match, the Kiwi bowlers managed to bowl out Pakistan for just 159 runs, with James Neesham and Adam Milne picking up the wickets. At the best, I would say that there was a 50-50 chance. But New Zealand had the momentum with them, and IMO they had a better chance.

Bad news for new zealand and good news for Pakistan that match ended with no result. Now new zealand can only draw this series while Pakistan can either draw this series or win it as they are 2/1 up in the series. This is now alarming for Pakistan crikcet as they first lost T20 series to Afghanistan and now they are getting tough time from new zealand second tier team. It was predicted before this series that Pakistan will win this series quite comfortably.
Pakistan could have chased down the total, i was impressed with the way the Pakistan tail batted in the 3rd T20 where they were done and dusted at 88 for the loss of 7 wickets and then to go after the bowlers and reach touching distance for the win was impressive and if the top order would have played they would have chased them and that could have happened in this match as the total was not that huge.
Unlucky Pakistan, this is something a sure winning match for Pakistan looking at the target. Anyhow one more match left and Pakistan have got an opportunity to win the series whereas New Zealand were able to level the series. Lets see what happens at the final T20 match. The weather conditions were changing all of the sudden. Pakistan tail end players performed well, but the dependence on specific players need to change only then team will be able to perform in all critical situations.

Yes, it's bad news match has an abandoned without any result. New Zealand play well in the first inning 164 runs and 5 wickets gone but Mark Chapman is not out he played well he score 71 runs in just 42 balls with 10 fours and 1 six with a strike rate of 169 such an amazing player he is. From Pakistan Haris Rouf and Shaheen shah afridi picked 1,1 wicket but he was Expensive tonight with an Economy of 9.13 and 10. I think Rawalpindi's is a good batting pitch not supporting bowlers If Rain doesn't disturb the play Pakistan will win the Match. I hope Pakistan will win this series.

Now the situation is that Pakistan can't lose this series while NZ can't win it from here. Yes, the series can be drawn if NZ managed to win the last T20 match.

The match has been abandoned. I would say Pakistan should be happy. The New Zealand team collected 164 runs in 18.5 overs. And probably they would have been able to give a target like 175-180 and batting on this target would have been very difficult for Pakistan to win. They played well in the first two matches but their performance in the third match was poor. Even in today's match, if the target is more than 175, it would be difficult for Pakistan's batsmen to bat against this target. However, Pakistan will probably win the last match of the series. And I guess Pakistan will win this series.

Yeah. KKR are playing like crap to be honest. Roy and Russell played well, but the rest played like amateurs. KKR have some of the most inconsistent players in this season which is why their results are so random.
If DC doesn't win this one, they should just quit the tournament and go home in my opinion.
What magic the rain has done that the pitch became too good for the bowlers, especially for the spin bowlers! DC hardly managed to win the match. Perhaps, KKR players had no idea that how difficult the pitch is for batting. The spin bowl was getting unexpected bounce. Sunil Narine is not bowling well as he used to do in the past. Anyway, DC is happy as it is their first victory in this season after five consecutive losses.

Pakistan brought Spin attack to control the score and Imad wasim did well. He Picked up two wicket earlier and given only 8 runs. New Zealand now 44 runs in five over with lost of two wicket. NZ batsmen looking so aggressive in this match. Power play over and now they will be looking for good total to defend. If they did not lose another wicket earlier then this partnership might be dangerous one for Pak bowlers. Total score can be 170+ now.

Rain along with thunderstorm has come to rescue Pakistan. Its raining heavily here and didn't looks like play will resume tonight. New Zealand were on top when play was interrupted because of rain. In 18.5 overs New Zealand score was 164 and Mark Chapman was not out on 71. With 7 balls remaining it is very much expected that New Zealand may give target of somewhere around 175. Target of 170 or more is not easy to chase specially if its Pakistan.

Yes, it was certain that the Pakistan team would not be able to chase this big total if the match was not abandoned by the rain. Pakistan batsmen failed to chase the moderate total of 163 runs in the previous match too. Imad Wasim took 3 wickets for 19 runs and was the best bowler for his team.
Mark Chapman was playing at 71 runs when the rain come down. If NZ were allowed the whole 20 overs and Chapman remained not out, NZ could have scored 180+ runs.

Now the situation is that Pakistan can't lose this series while NZ can't win it from here. Yes, the series can be drawn if NZ managed to win the last T20 match.

Although Pakistan has a good team, it is crucial to remember that New Zealand can compete at their highest level. They shown their abilities and teamwork in today's match and they have the chance to maintain their momentum in upcoming games. It is also important to keep in mind that weather can always affect how a game turns out making it challenging to predict the outcome with precision. In any case, the match has been thrilling and competitive since both teams have demonstrated their talent and commitment. Let's be grateful for everyone's efforts and anticipate more exciting cricket in the future.

If rain didn't interrupted the game than Newzealand could have easily won this game too , what a brilliant batting by Kiwis they were fearlessly playing with aoo much confidence totally enjoyed their game .
And Pakistan would have great difficulty in matching up their pace.
