The NZ vs. PAK match will be vital for both teams to qualify for the semifinal. Both teams have been in ups and down form throughout the World Cup, and they’ll be looking to secure 2 points from this match. Pakistan has a solid batting lineup, including Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Fakhar Zaman, and Abdullah Shafique.
For New Zealand, they had experienced Devon Conway, Daryl Mitchell, and young Rachin Ravindra. They have a well-balanced team with a strong bowling attack that includes Trent Boult, Matt Henry, and Tim Southee.
We expect the match to be a close one, and both teams will need to be at their best to win. Pakistan will hope to rely on their star batters to score big runs and vice versa, while New Zealand will look to their bowlers to take early wickets and put pressure on the Pakistani batters and vice versa.
