A Pakistan side on a roll should worry every team left in the tournament. This is a dangerous outfit and they’ve been handed the most unlikely of second chances in the tournament.
Much will depend on the impact of Shaheen and Shadab. If Pakistan’s best two bowlers can take top-order wickets then that’s what makes New Zealand particularly vulnerable – they don’t bat as deep as the other semi-finalists.
And the Babar-Rizwan opening pair will hope to put their struggles behind them and build on the stand against Bangladesh. These moments call for big players, and they don’t come much bigger than the second and fourth-ranked batters in the world.
With New Zealand, they need to shun down the weight of history behind and focus on this contest. They have a well-balanced team with in-form batters like Devon Conway and Glenn Phillips, and bowlers like Trent Boult and Lockie Ferguson, who have also been at the top of their game.
They are a quality side. All they need to do now is keep their composure in this crucial match. If they can do that, other things will fall into place on their own.
