New Zealand vs Pakistan: October 03, 2009 II Semi Finals Champions Trophy 2009 Preview. The two teams last met in World Twenty20 at the Oval and Pakistan won with 6+ overs to spare (and read this in a 20-20 match). It will be another similar repeat by Pakistan. They have started as a rusty team but picked up form at the right time.
Pakistan cricket fans are all excited to see their team zoom past the semi finals and majority of betters are favouriting Pakistan in this match. Younis Khan too expressed very beginning of the tournament that his team will be there in the finals and take the Trophy to home. They are inching close to the captain’s words.
Still, we cannot underestimate New Zealand, they ended their fans’ frustration playing great game against the Sri Lanka. They have posted a mammoth total on board well contributed by Jesse Ryder, Guptill and Vettori. Sri Lanka faltered and could make 277 in reply.
Brendon McCullum and Martin Guptill are the top scorers so far in the tournament and they are sure to give some tough time to Pakistan bowlers; Aamer will need to have special balls for these batsmen who have no respect for any bowler. I still believe New Zealand will spring a surprising result and might shock Pakistan.
