The T20 World Cup 2022 has reached the semifinal stage. New Zealand and Pakistan lock horns in the first semifinal. The contest will happen at the Sydney grounds. It is a miracle happening for Pakistan to reach the semifinals as they almost lost hope after their defeat against Zimbabwe. However, tables turned upside down for them as South Africa lost to the Netherlands in an unexpected way and they toppled Bangladesh comfortably to reach the second spot.
New Zealand from the other group is clinical. Apart from their match against England, they haven’t put a foot wrong in the Super 12s. With both sides having their own strengths it will be interesting to see who will gain the upper hand and reach the finals.
Possible XI NZ: Finn Allen, Devon Conway, Kane Williamson, Glenn Phillips, Daryll Mitchell, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Ish Sodi, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult
Pak: Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Haris, Shan Masood, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Wasim, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Shaheen Afridi
