T20 World Cup: Confident Pakistan ready to seek revenge from New Zealand after pullout saga

Revenge will be in the back of the mind of every Pakistan cricketer when they face New Zealand in their second match of the ICC T20 World Cup in Sharjah on Tuesday.

3 teams were on Pakistan’s target in this tournament – India, New Zealand and England. The Men in Green have already dealt with the first challenge by dishing out a thumping 10-wicket defeat on India and have the Black Caps in their sights next.

Babar Azam’s side signalled their intent in the opening game and made history in Dubai by registering their maiden World Cup-win over arch-rivals India. They now face the same team which had backed out of the Pakistan tour in September citing security concerns.

That controversy left Pakistan cricket red-faced and even influenced England into withdrawing from their subsequent tour of the country.

The unfortunate episodes severely hampered Pakistan’s preparations, something which they won’t forget very easily and that might prompt Babar’s team to deliver the same medicine to Kane Williamson’s New Zealand which they did to India two nights ago.
