New Zealand Vs Pakistan 2nd Test Prediction 3/1/21

New Zealand haven’t lost a home test match since 2017, and they are now a side that don’t have an inferiority complex to any cricketing nation in the world.

Pakistan showed plenty of resistance in the 1st Test match, and did come a lot closer to claiming a draw than most seasoned watchers expected they would.

They are still one of those sides capable of producing a performance to beat anybody, but it’s impossible to predict anything other than a win for the Kiwis on current form.

Kane Williamson is at the peak of his powers, and his team simply have too much to play for in this Test match.
