New Zealand vs Pakistan, 2nd T20I Live Score: Live broadcast keeping us updated, but it's not good news as another inspection is set for 20 mins from now.

New Zealand vs Pakistan, 2nd T20I Live Score: Reports from Dunedin suggest that it hasn't been raining, but the rain from earlier in the day means there is a delay in the toss and the start of the match due to a wet outfield. Here's hoping we have some action soon.
New Zealand vs Pakistan, 2nd T20I Live Score: A slight concern for a full match as rain in Dunedin could have a role to play at the University Oval. This is the second match of a double-header after the New Zealand Women's match against Sri Lanka was called off after just 14 overs.

In their last 5 matches, it's equally tight, but New Zealand hold the narrow 3-2 advantage. There isn't much to separate these two teams on that front, but recent results and home advantage might mean the Kiwis are the safer bet heading into this particular match.
New Zealand vs Pakistan, 2nd T20I Live Score: Pakistan's recent form doesn't make for good viewing, and while it may seem like Pakistan cricket is in a constant state of disarray, the players will know that ensuring they don't make a habit out of losing consistently. Despite the debutants and fresh faces in this team, there is still enough experience and quality to at least provide a fight. But fighting may not be enough: Pakistan need a win, and going 2-0 down in this five-match series will once again sound the alarm bells.
New Zealand vs Pakistan, 2nd T20I Live Score: As is the case with most grounds in New Zealand, small boundaries and fast pitches make for a venue that is high-scoring and with plenty of boundaries on offer. In three T20Is, the 200-mark has been breached in 3 innings, and more of the same should be expected in this game. Expect a lot of runs in this match, as long as Pakistan can find their feet in this new gameplan.
New Zealand vs Pakistan, 2nd T20I Live Score: For the Kiwis, many of whom aren't regular fixtures in the T20I team, this series is an opportunity to put themselves heavily on the radar for the future as well. Plenty of these names are playing since they haven't received IPL contracts, and in the absence of those stars, this is an excellent opportunity to prove to the management and selectors that they have what it takes to become regulars. Keep an eye on the likes of Tim Seifert and Jacob Duffy, who were key performers in Christchurch and will want to keep it going.
