• New Zealand

New Zealand has performed better in every ICC tournament because they play as a team. There are no big names except Kane Williams, but they play in a unit, and everyone contributes. New Zealand has the destructive opening pair of Finn Allen and Devon Conway, and the consistency of Conway makes him even more dangerous. New Zealand's middle order is all set; experts say who wins the middle overs wins the game. They have one of the biggest names in the middle order: Kane Williamson. And Glenn Philips, Daryl Mitchell, and Micheal Bracewell are also in form. The duo of Trent Boult and Tim Southee has been the backbone of the New Zealand bowling line for years, and they are in excellent form. New Zealand is always a favorite team to win the cup in every ICC tournament, but it ends up on the losing side at almost every tournament. Kane Williamson's form is a concern for NZ.

• Pakistan

From almost getting out of the T20 world cup to securing a place in the semi-final, Pakistan has seen it all, and they will not leave any chance to win the match. Pakistan top order batters are in good form, and the inclusion of Mohammad Haris into the playing 11 has made Pak's batting lineup even stronger. Pakistan is known due to its bowlers, and they are in peak form. Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, and Shadab khan are in form. Pakistan is over-dependent upon their top order, and Babar form is a concern for Pakistan. There is no reliable player in the middle order that may cost the T20 world cup 2022. Head to Head In Overall T20 Matches Pakistan and New Zealand have played 28 matches together, and New Zealand has registered the win 11 times while Pakistan has won 17 times.
