First semi-final match between Pakistan and New Zealand today, both teams will fight to reach the final
The first semi-final match of the T20 World Cup 2022 will be played between New Zealand and Pakistan at the Sydney Cricket Ground on November 9. This match is not only the eyes of the cricket fans of Pakistan and New Zealand but also the fans of India. This match is going to be very exciting because in this match there is a team of Pakistan which has not been performing well in the tournament while on the other side there is the team of New Zealand which has rocked the entire tournament. New Zealand are at the top of their group.
However, both the teams will be in a do or die situation in the semi-final match. So this match is going to be very interesting. Pakistan have won their T20 title once and will look to win the semi-finals with the intention of capturing it for the second time. At the same time, this match is going to be very important for New Zealand too as New Zealand has not captured any T20 World Cup till date.
It is worth noting that the first semi-final match of the T20 World Cup will start at 1.30 pm Indian time. There will be a toss between the two teams at one o’clock half an hour before the match.
