2022 T20 World Cup Semifinal 1 M.A.P. – Pakistan vs New Zealand
The first semifinal of the T20 World Cup is between New Zealand and Pakistan tomorrow. Pakistan has defeated New Zealand not just once, not just twice, but thrice in international World Cups! They won in the 1992 ODI World Cup semi-final, then in the 1999 ODI, and next was the 2007 T20 World Cup. Will the Black Caps win in this 2022 semifinal? Let's make a few of our own predictions…What you have to do: In a response to this thread, Make a Prediction (M.A.P.) for each of the 10 questions below. Do not submit the list of questions; only give your list of predictions. Wherever a name is asked for, you must give the player's specific name and not just state Pakistan or New Zealand. Once you submit a response, it will be automatically locked so you will not be able to edit and change any predictions.
Just one rule: Only one entry per member is allowed.
The reward: 1 point and 1cc for every correct prediction. If you get all 10 accurately, then you will get double, that is, 20 points and 20 cc.
