PAK vs NZ 3rd T20I Live Streaming

My personal favorite is to watch PAK vs NZ 3rd T20I live streaming for free on ARYZAP which is by far the best sporting channel in Pakistan who have in a limited time gained a very huge viewership all thanks to the easy-to-access application that is available on both Android & iOS devices. 

Weather Forecast

There will be a cloud cover during the whole game so the weather will be pleasing with temperatures dropping from 31 to 26 degrees as the match goes on. The humidity ratio will be in the range of 29 to 32 percent which won’t cause many issues for the players. 

Pitch Report

So far both games which are played here at the Gaddafi Stadium are good batting-friendly pitches so we expect the pitch to be almost the same as in the last game. Pakistan has batted first in both games and has been able to score a good defendable total so it will be interesting to see if NZ finally wins the toss and bats first to do a forced change in strategy for Pakistan. NZ while chasing did struggle and the pitch also looked to offer some sharp bounce in the 2nd innings. 

PAK vs NZ 3rd T20I Probable Playing XIs

NZ bowlers need to do a better job as in both games they leaked too many runs and bowled rubbish lengths outside which quality batters from Pakistan took full use of.  In the past, Pakistan batters have struggled against bouncers and short-pitch deliveries and we believe it is one strategy they need to utilize with Matt Henry who got the pace and can trouble Pakistan batters upfront. 

No change is expected in the Pakistan squad as they will look to clinch the series first and then give chances to the players who are currently warming up the bench. 

Below are the PAK vs NZ 3rd T20I probable playing XIs for both bat & ball first scenarios. 

Pakistan:

Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Faheem Ashraf, Imad Wasim, Mohammad Rizwan (Wk), Babar Azam (C), Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Saim Ayub, Zaman Khan, Shaheen Afridi

New Zealand: 

Tom Latham (C) (Wk), Chad Bowes, Dane Cleaver, Daryl Mitchell, Mark Chapman, James Neesham, Rachin Ravindra, Cole McConchie, Henry Shipley, Matt Henry, Blair Tickner

PAK vs NZ 3rd T20I Prediction

It is no surprise that the majority of the expert bookmakers have favored Pakistan to win tonight and make it 3 Nill against the Kiwis. Pakistan has a winning probability of around 58% which is quite huge. NZ can surprise as they do get quality in their lineup but they must win the toss and bat first and replicate what Pakistan has done in the first two games. Chasing here doesn’t look straightforward as the ball in the 2nd innings did bounce and turn a bit.
