The New Zealand T20I Tri-Series 2022 final will pit hosts New Zealand against Pakistan. With each team winning three of their four games, the tournament has been competitive between both teams. In the two games they played against one another, they split the prizes. They would prefer to win their final game before the World Cup in order to enter the competition with a strong sense of confidence.
With three straight victories under their belt, New Zealand enters this match with the advantage of the momentum. They are well aware of the circumstances, which will also be to their advantage.
Pakistan’s bowlers have had trouble in this competition, which would be concerning for the team. Before the major competition, neither team would want to lose this game, thus we anticipate a strong performance.

New Zealand is the favourite to win this match.
Pakistan has performed well in the competition, and their batsmen appear to be in terrific shape. On this pitch, there isn’t much space for error, therefore the team could be a little concerned about the bowlers’ performance. The batters for New Zealand are in good form and have momentum on their side. They will now have a little advantage over Pakistan in this encounter. New Zealand will triumph!
