NZW vs PAKW Team Previews
New Zealand Women
New Zealand Women suffered their first ever T20I defeat to Pakistan Women in Dunedin earlier this month. Now, instead of being one-nil up and in a position to seal a series win, they need to fend off another match defeat and potential series loss to the visitors.
Whether the home side make any changes to their XI for this match remains in the balance. Maddy Green and Suzie Bates were their top batters in the first match after scoring 43 not out and 28, respectively. The hosts can look to Green and Bates again for big contributions. Others, such as Kate Anderson for example, need to weigh in as well.
Each of New Zealand's first four bowlers went without a wicket in the series opener. The introduction of Eden Carson and Sophie Devine eventually brought breakthroughs, but by then it was effectively too little, too late. Carson and Devine might take the ball earlier this time.
New Zealand Women won't necessarily be rattled by that opening defeat. It will likely motivate them to bounce back - and quickly. How they perform in this match could have implications - good or bad - on the upcoming ODI series against the same opposition, too.
New Zealand Women Playing 11
Suzie Bates, Bernadine Bezuidenhout, Sophie Devine, Maddy Green, Georgia Plimmer, Hannah Rowe, Lea Tahuhu, Molly Penfold, Eden Carson, Fran Jonas, Amelia Kerr.
Pakistan Women
Pakistan Women were genuinely buoyed by victory in the series opener. The underdogs put in a big performance and can now look to follow it up with another to seal series victory. But they are going to be hard pressed against motivated New Zealand Women opposition this time.
Shawaal Zulfiqar and Aliya Riaz could be instrumental with the bat again. At the top of the order and in the middle, Zulfiqar and Riaz are formidable assets in these foreign conditions. They assessed the pitch quickly and batted well, accordingly, last week.
Fatima Sama was outstanding en route to her player of the match accolade in the first match of the series. She snared three vital wickets as the first-change bowler. Her clever changes in line, length and pace should be important to Pakistan's chances of victory here again.
This will likely be another absorbing fixture between New Zealand Women and Pakistan Women. The tactics deployed by captains Devine and Nadir Dar are going to be intriguing again. It will be particularly interesting to see how and when they juggle their bowling resources.
Pakistan Women Playing 11
Muneeba Ali, Shawaal Zulfiqar, Nida Dar, Bismah Maroof, Aliya Riaz, Omaima Sohail, Fatima Sana, Diana Baig, Najiha Alvi, Nashra Sandhu, Sadia Iqbal.
NZW vs PAKW Toss Prediction
New Zealand Women won the toss and opted to bat first in the series opener. That decision did not result in victory. If they win the toss again, the hosts might consider bowling first instead.
That said, it's probable the team to win the toss will bat first. This is generally the preference in women's T20 cricket at the University Oval in Dunedin.

A final total of 127 was not enough for New Zealand recently. A first-innings score of 140 or more can be considered competitive at this venue.
Pakistan Women opened the bowling with a spinner in the opening match. New Zealand did not, but might do this time.
There is no rain predicted in the area on the day before the match and on matchday. We should get a full fixture in.
NZW vs PAKW Betting Tips
Pakistan Women have plenty of momentum on the back of victory in the first fixture of the series. New Zealand Women have homeground advantage and added motivation.
Pakistan were stronger with bat and ball in Dunedin last week. They should win here again, especially if the New Zealand batters can't get on top of the visitors' spinners.
Bet on 3.75 underdogs Pakistan Women to beat 1.60 favourites New Zealand Women.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Sana took three wickets in the first fixture and was named player of the match. She bowled well in challenging conditions and could do so here again.
Green was New Zealand's top run-scorer by a lengthy stretch in the first match. She hit five fours in her unbeaten 43 and is in a good position to perform well again.
Dar will likely bat herself up the order again. She bats aggressively and won't allow the bowlers to dictate to her. If she bats during the opening powerplay, this will be an extra opportunity for her to score relatively freely.
