The pitch at Eden Park, Auckland is batting-friendly as the ball will come onto the bat nicely in both innings. However, with the new ball, the batters need to be a bit careful as the new ball will swing around for some time. The team that wins the toss will look to field first in this game.
The weather in Auckland is good for playing cricket. There are no rain chances, and the temperature will hover around 17°C.
Pakistan has a slight edge over New Zealand in the T20I format but, the Kiwis too have a great record at home while playing in the T20Is & they have also dominated Pakistan in the opening two T20Is hence New Zealand has a better chance of winning this match.
