Preview :

New Zealand and Pakistan will clash in the first semifinal of T20 World Cup 2022 in Sydney on November 9. It has been a remarkable journey for both sides at the World Cup so far. Babar Azam's men got their campaign underway with a last-ball defeat against arch-rivals India. They faced off against Zimbabwe in the next match and astonishingly lost the fixture. However, Pakistan would then go on to beat the Netherlands before dishing out another clinical performance against South Africa in a do-or-die clash.

The 2009 T20 World Cup champs needed a helping hand which came from the Dutch side who defeated the Proteas on Sunday, and Babar's side prevailed over Bangladesh to seal a place in the final four.

New Zealand meanwhile were far more consistent, beating Australia by a massive 89-run in their first match, but had to take a point from their game against Afghanistan which was washed out. Kane Williamson's men bounced back with a win over Sri Lanka, although a defeat to England delayed their progress to the semis, which they ultimately sealed by beating Ireland.
