Hello and welcome to Match 19 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021, set to be played between Pakistan and New Zealand.

Following a historic 10-wicket win over India on Sunday, Pakistan have another point to make - against more recent foes - the genial Kane Williamson-led side. Babar Azam, the Pakistan captain, was quick to remind his team soon after the victory against India that they better not get carried away and retain their focus on the coming matches in the tournament. Which side of Pakistan will turn up today - the clinical and flawless team that showed up on Sunday or the one that doesn't do justice to the talent?
