NZ vs PAK T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 Live Streaming: The group stage of the ongoing mega event finally came to an end, and now all the focus will shift to the Super 8s. New Zealand will lock horns with Pakistan during the first Super 8s match in Colombo on Saturday. Both sides will try to win this match, as a loss will leave them behind. Just the top two teams from both groups then reach the semifinals, and that's why each match is quite important. Both New Zealand and Pakistan had lost one match apiece during the group stage to teams like India and South Africa.
Ahead of the clash against New Zealand, the Salman Ali Agha-led side needs to work on a lot of things. Their batting has been the biggest concern, and they are highly dependent on opener Sahibzada Farhan. Babar Azam hasn't found his form yet in this mega event, and he didn't even come out to bat during the clash against Namibia despite them having a good start.
Talking about their bowling attack, it's the spinners who have been doing most of the job, but the form of their fast bowler is a huge concern. Shaheen Shah Afridi didn't play in their last match, and there are chances that he won't be picked in the playing XI again for the remainder of the tournament.
At the same time, the Mitchell Santner-led side has been playing consistently well in this tournament so far. Finn Allen and Tim Seifert have been their star batters, but it's their bowlers who are yet to prove their worth, and they will try to bounce back in the Super 8s stage.
