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.

There are not much chances for today's game as there is rain in Rawalpindi. Second T20I is also likely to be affected by rain. It's a great opportunity for Pakistan team to prepare for upcoming T20 world cup since they are not playing IPL. NZ top players are not participating in this series because of IPL and it's also an opportunity for there young players to impress there selectors for future selection.

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.

[JSRAW]

MI smooth sailing atm with about 9 rpr with Surya and Rohit on crease, with these two being destructive in themseleves plenty batting yet to come, I foresee 200-220 target.

Punjab might not be a top team but they give close chases, so should be entertaining.

I feel Punjab's bowlers doing a more than satisfactory job.

I was expecting MI's top 3 to run through but the bowlers didn't allow them to. Mumbai got the big guns but only 30 balls left so they need to start moving before it's too late. Their bowling is not clicking like it used to be (Barring Bumrah) so they need an extra cushion of 10-20 runs for the bowlers.

I think the match is not likely to be held today but hope for the best that is why still there is a chance to be held and also the Rawalpindi seats have been filled up in a few minutes and at this time, everyone was waiting to see the match between New Zealand and Pakistan.

At this moment, the prediction is that the match will start after 10 minutes and then we will see the match but I don’t think so because the current condition is not good and there is too much rain in Rawalpindi. The Rawalpindi will be disappointed here if the match will be cancelled. They waited too long for an international team to arrive in their city but the weather won't permit to have an action today.

I thought that Mumbai India's chances of winning were very low in the beginning but after seeing their batting performance now it seems that they can target 200 runs. Four overs to go and they have 150 run . If T. Varma and H. Pandya  continue their partnership till the end, I hope it will be very easy for them to give the target of 200 runs. At this time T. Varma made 31 run and H. Pandya score is 8 . And I hopethese two make will a good partnership.

Everything was easy, even just Shaheen Shah Afridi started the first over but then suddenly heavy rain came into the ground and destroyed all enjoyment of the match. Also, think of those who have bought the tickets for this match and are in the stadium wanting to see the live action of the match.

However, a thing we judge that is Shaheen Shah Afridi will do the first over as usual and maybe Muhammad Amir do the second over and Naseem give third over but I am sure that with these pacers, Babar Azam will give at least one over to Saim Ayub as we have seen in PSL where he has average bowling attack and he started the innings by the hands of Saim Ayub.

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.

[libert19]

MI ends the inning with 192, last over was excellent from Punjab's perspective, just one boundary that too of leg bye. Gone are the days when opposite would sweat off seeing 190+ target, match is on and if other bowlers do not step barring Bumrah, this could be very well the day of PBKS to win this one.

[rojan]

In today's 33rd match of Punjab Kings vs Mumbai Indians team, Mumbai Indians team came to bat and scored 192 runs in 20 overs losing 7 wickets. Mumbai Indians team batsman Suryakumar Yadav was dismissed for 78 runs off 53 balls. Tilak Varma scored 34 runs off 18 balls. Rohit Sharma 25  36 runs off the ball. Punjab Kings now come out to bat. Let's see how well Punjab Kings can do in batting.

[JunaidAzizi]

I think the match is not likely to be held today but hope for the best that is why still there is a chance to be held and also the Rawalpindi seats have been filled up in a few minutes and at this time, everyone was waiting to see the match between New Zealand and Pakistan.

At this moment, the prediction is that the match will start after 10 minutes and then we will see the match but I don’t think so because the current condition is not good and there is too much rain in Rawalpindi. The Rawalpindi will be disappointed here if the match will be canceled. They waited too long for an international team to arrive in their city but the weather won't permit to take action today. 

Yes, the weather in Rawalpindi is still rainy and maybe will not clear because there are still black clouds that hold the whole of Rawalpindi. I think today's match will be drawn between them and we will see their performance in the next match which will be held on 20 April on Saturday. But as I saw the whole week's weather conditions there will be also rain on that day so I don't know how they will draw two matches because of the rain. The Rawalpendies and we also waited a very long to see our new players as well as in the new Zeland team, how they will impress us through their skills and good performance. I know they will never disappoint us and will entertain us in this series.

[Haunebu]

Am disappointed with MI not being able to breach 200 runs when they had destructive players like David and Shephard in their arsenal. Final over from Harshal Patel was so freaking unexpected considering his shit bowling in this season.

MI should still win this one as long as they remove Shashank and Ashutosh quickly because their combo is something else.

[Fuso.hp]

The first T20 series between Pakistan vs New Zealand is now very uncertain as the toss of the first T20 match between Pakistan and New Zealand has been held but the play has not started yet due to rain. New Zealand won the toss and elected to bat first and we got to see the XI of both the teams but after a long wait the match did not start. It is raining intermittently due to which the umpire comes to observe the field but later they go back again. After the toss, as the time of the first innings has already passed, if the rain stops at this moment, it will take at least 30 minutes to an hour to prepare the field. However, it is important to stop the rain first, if the rain does not stop, the referee may declare the match abandoned.

[Out of mind]

Mumbai Indians scored 197 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in the first innings today. mi's batsman Suryakumar Yadav batted brilliantly he scored 78 runs, his batting performance was good for the team. Comparatively, Mumbai Indians played well enough in today's match and the score they scored has enough potential for them. However, the pressure that Punjab Kings are under while meeting the target of 198 runs in the second innings is really a disappointment for them. After scoring 40 runs in 6 overs and losing four wickets, the team is currently facing a lot of disappointment, and they may not be able to win today anyway. No one expected their batting performance to be so bad that Punjab Kings will lose today's match. Although right now Punjab Kings are struggling to win, but they may not be able to win today's match even though they have to try and score 147 runs from 83 balls to win.

[libert19]

Punjab decimated already within powerplay, I like KP saying it isn't rocket science to give first over (or second) to Bumrah, glad Hardik came to senses early.

Anyway, Bhatia and Shashank on crease, Bhatia has been mostly on luck, even his boundaries, Shashank is playing sensible, trying to hit boundaries on good balls which IMO is right way as too much defense usually ends up in loss for the team.

All these players — Bhatia, Shashank, Jitesh, Ashutosh has opportunity to make it to sports news headlines tomorrow.

Edit: Oops, Bhatia just gone. Jitesh should play aggressive as it suits him, otherwise I'm sure he will throw his wicket just like Bhatia.

[JSRAW]

Half side is already gone so clearly things are tough for Punjab.

Now they are left with only 3 recognized batters (Shashank, Jitesh and Ashutosh), asking RR is not out of control atm as 11rpo is hardly a daunting sight in the T-20 format but wickets are a big issue. They need some fine effort from these 3 batters otherwise the match is already gone.

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.

I don't find today's pitch completely batting friendly. This is probably why the Mumbai batsmen have batted slowly from the beginning of the innings today, the Mumbai batsmen have batted very carefully. At the end of 10 overs, Mumbai's collection was 86 runs with the loss of one wicket. Rohit and SUryakumar Yadav batted responsibly. Rohit scored 36 runs from 25 balls and Yadav scored 78 runs from 53 balls.

Punjab's top order played very poorly today. The team lost wickets very quickly today. The team lost 4 wickets to collect only 14 runs. And the Punjab team lost the fifth wicket for 49 runs. At the end of 9 overs, Punjab's collection is 76 runs. Shashank Singh is batting brilliantly today. Shashank is unbeaten with 35 runs from 18 balls.

[noormcs5]

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.

The match haven't suspended yet but the chances are they we won't be able to see the play today. For the last two hours, i am seeing this status as the match is delayed by the rain or it is delayed by a wet outfield, not a good sign for the players as well as for the spectators.



Rain delays and then resulting in the wet outfields can be frustrating for both players and spectators during a cricket matches. They can cause disrupt in the flow of the game and also cause delays in play, and sometimes even lead to matches being abandoned. Also note that prolonged waiting times is tough for those who are present at the stadium and also those who are betting on the match and waiting for the action to take place.

[libert19]

Jitesh gone on full toss and we have again Shashank-Ashutosh duo on crease, with hopes of all Punjab fans on their shoulders.

I swear It's so disappointing when batters don't throw full toss for a boundary or worse they get out with it.

[libert19]

Now, this is called the resurrection, PBKS merely requires 28 of 24, I wouldn't call that PBKS has won yet but it's been supremely entertaining. Ashutosh played as if he was having Surya's ghost inside of him.
