Match Details Match: NZ vs PAK | 41st Match | Super 8 Group 2 | T20 World Cup 2026 Date: 21 February 2026 Time: 7:00 PM IST | 1:30 PM GMT Venue: R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo Streaming: Jio Hotstar and Star Sports Network
Pakistan Ki Tournament Ki Kahani
Pakistan cricket ki ek alag hi duniya hai. Yeh team kabhi itni achi khelti hai ki aap hairan ho jaate ho aur kabhi itna bura khelti hai ki samajh nahi aata ki yahi team thi kya. Iss tournament mein bhi bilkul wahi hua. Netherlands aur USA ko haraaya toh sab theek laga. Log sochne lage ki chalo iss baar kuch interesting hoga. Phir India ka match aaya aur woh 61 runs ki shikast itni bhari thi ki Super Eights ka sapna toot ta hua laga.
Social media par Pakistan cricket ki band baj rahi thi us raat. Lekin phir Namibia match aaya aur Sahibzada Farhan ne aake puri kahani palat di. Unki maiden T20I century, not out, aur Pakistan 199 tak pohonch gaya. Yeh score iss tournament mein is pitch par ek bahut bada total tha. Upar se Usman Tariq aur Shadab Khan ne milke saat wickets liye aur Namibia puri team 97 par nipt gayi. 102 runs ki jeet ne Pakistan ko Super Eights mein daakhil kar diya, thoda dramatically sahi lekin kar diya.
Shadab match ke baad bilkul bindaas the. Unhone kaha ki dressing room mein koi doubt nahi hai, team poora World Cup jeetne ke liye aayi hai. Aur yeh sirf words nahi lagte jab Shaheen Afridi ki wapasi bhi expected hai New Zealand ke against. Shaheen Namibia mein nahi khele the lekin unka return almost confirm hai aur unke aane se bowling attack mein woh dangerous edge wapas aa jaayegi. Pakistan ne 2007, 2009 aur 2022 mein teen baar finals khele, sirf 2009 mein Sri Lanka ko hara ke trophy aayi. Ab doosri baar uthani hai aur yeh hunger team ke andar saaf dikh raha hai.
New Zealand Kaise Pahunche Yahan
New Zealand wali team iss tournament mein quietly impressive rahi hai. Bina kisi bade drama ke, bina kisi controversy ke, bas apna kaam karte rahe. Chaar mein se teen matches jeete group stage mein. Afghanistan aur UAE ke against koi pareshani nahi aayi. South Africa ne zaroor ek baar saat wickets se peet diya lekin team ne woh haars pakad ke nahi rakhi aur Canada ke against strong wapasi ki.
Canada wala match thoda zyaada interesting ban gaya tha. Yuvraj Samra naam ke ek opener ne aakar 65 balls mein 110 run maare aur Canada ko 173 tak pahuncha diya. Woh innings dekh ke Kiwi fans ke toh haath pair thande ho gaye honge. Lekin phir Glenn Phillips aur Rachin Ravindra ne aake sab theek kar diya. Phillips 76 not out raha, Ravindra 59 not out, aur chaar overs bache hue match khatam ho gaya. Ekdum clean aur confident.
Ab yeh baat bahut important hai ki Mitchell Santner Canada match mein beemar the aur nahi khele. Daryl Mitchell ne captaincy sambhali thi. Pakistan ke against Santner ki wapasi expected hai aur honestly yeh ek game changing factor ho sakta hai. Colombo ki pitch par spin bahut influential hoti hai aur Santner unka sabse key spinner hai is format mein. Ish Sodhi bhi come in kar sakte hain kisi pacer ki jagah leke spin options strengthen karne ke liye.
Batting mein Tim Seifert ne sab se zyada runs banaye hain, chaar matches mein 173 at average 57.66. Yeh consistency hai jo team ko stability deti hai. Finn Allen agar top par chal gaye toh phir bhagwan hi malik hai bowlers ka. New Zealand ka batting average last five matches mein 183 raha hai, yeh number clearly batata hai ki lineup mein depth aur firepower dono hain. 2021 mein Australia ne inhe World Cup final mein haraaya tha. Woh moment abhi bhi dil mein kahin hoga aur yeh team clearly iss baar woh chapter differently likhna chahti hai.
Pitch Kaisi Hai Aur Toss Ka Role
R. Premadasa Stadium mein iss tournament ki jo story rahi hai woh batting first teams ke favour mein hai. Paanch mein se chaar matches yahan batting first teams ne jeete hain, yeh koi coincidence nahi hai. Pitch shuruaat mein theek bounce deti hai, batting friendly lagti hai. Lekin jaldi hi surface slow aur two-paced ho jaati hai aur phir spinners aur clever bowlers ka khel shuru hota hai. Doosri innings mein yahan batting karna honestly bahut mushkil ho jaata hai. India ne yahan Pakistan ko 61 runs se haraaya tha aur us match ne clearly dikhaya ki is pitch par doosri innings mein targets chase karna kya hota hai. Toss jeetnewala captain aaj batting first zaroor choose karega jab tak shaam ko heavy dew expected na ho.
Mausam Ka Update
Temperature: 29°C high aur 24°C low Humidity: 80 percent Rain Chance: 70 percent Wind: Northeast, 10 se 13 km/h
Yeh 70 percent rain wali baat aaj ke NZ vs PAK Today Match Prediction mein sabse bada joker card hai. Agar baarish ne zyaada interference ki toh DLS aayega aur phir kisi ki bhi prediction kaam nahi karti. Match se pehle aur match ke beech mein weather pe nazar rakhna aaj bilkul zaroori hai.

Dono ki recent form W L W W W hai. Matlab records mein bhi koi ek team dusre se badhkar nahi hai, aaj sach mein fresh slate hai dono ke liye.
