PAK vs NZ semi-final: What happened in 1992?
Imran Khan's team was facing certain elimination in 1992, but they managed to scrape through to the semifinals when they met New Zealand. Similar to this semi-final, the other semi-final featured England, but the opposition was South Africa rather than India. Pakistan won that semi-final in 1992 and entered the final.

Will Babar open with Rizwan?
Since Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan's approaches are simply too slow for T20 cricket, many analysts have recommended that Pakistan move one of them down the order. In this tournament, the starting duo has really struggled, and in many respects, Pakistan's chase against Bangladesh was made more difficult by their sluggish opening partnership.

Batting first seems to be an advantage
Teams batting first have won five of the six T20 World Cup 2022 games that have been played at the SCG thus far. The semi-final pitch will be the same one that hosted the Super 12s opener between Australia and New Zealand, which may decrease the impact of the coin toss. It was the flattest and most conducive to batting of the three pitches used so far in Sydney. So, expect a lot of runs.

PAK vs NZ: Weather update
Even though it has been pouring for the previous three weeks, no match has been postponed in Sydney as a result of inclement weather thus far during this event. There is a little risk of rain on November 9 in the morning, but it should stop by the time the game is scheduled to start. During the match hours, the temperature will be between 17 and 19, which is still rather pleasant.

New Zealand is group leader
The Super 12 round included a total of five games for New Zealand. While they won over Australia, Ireland and Sri Lanka, the rain forced the abandonment of their match with Afghanistan, New Zealand lost one game to England. With seven points and first place, New Zealand had the best net run rate in the standings.
