New Zealand is in the danger zone now after playing amazing cricket till their matchup against India. After that, they lost all last three matches, which put them in the danger zone to qualify for the semi-finals in the ICC Cricket World Cup. They lost their last match against South Africa by a huge margin of 190 runs, and now they have to win their next match against Pakistan, who are back in running for the qualification for the World Cup.

Pakistan won their last match against Bangladesh with ease to keep their hope up to qualify for the World Cup, and now they will have a do-or-die match against the New Zealand team. They still need to keep on going and will look to win the Champions Trophy, which will be held in 2025 in Pakistan. This is one of the biggest surprises as India will not go to Pakistan to play Cricket and might miss their chance.

M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, has been one of the most six-hitting stadiums in India and a graveyard for bowlers, especially spinners, because of short boundaries. Rohit Sharma holds the highest individual scoring record of 209 against Australia in ODI. It will be a great pitch for the batter, but for the bowler, there is no chance of error.

Team Preview Of New Zealand

The New Zealand team needs to focus on their bowling unit as they have leaked too many runs in the last three matches, and in the last two, they conceded over 350+ runs, which clearly shows that they are lacking performance in the bowling unit.

Important players for the New Zealand Team in the match against Pakistan

1- Daryl Mitchell has been a consistent run scorer in the New Zealand team, and even in the last match, he scored 24 runs, but he needs to score as high as he did in the past against Pakistan. He has an average of 52.71 against them.

2- Devon Conway has not been in his form in the World Cup as he did not score a single half-century in the tournament, but he does have a good record against Pakistan and can be crucial.

3- Matt Henry has been expensive in the last two matches, but he does have all the skills to pick more than four wickets per match. He took 28 wickets against Pakistan in 14 ODI.

Team Preview Pakistan

Pakistan is still on the run for the World Cup, but they are looking to end the tournament on a high note after defeating Bangladesh in their last match quite comfortably, which raises more questions for the Pakistan team, who did not include Fakhar Zaman in the team. In the last match, Pakistan pace bowlers performed quite well against Bangladesh, bowling them out at 204 runs, and it was all about Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Wasim Jr.

Important players for the Pakistan Team in the match against the New Zealand team

1- Mohammad Rizwan has been the consistent run scorer in the World Cup, and he does have a good record against New Zealand. He scored 359 runs with an average of 59.83 in 9 matches.

2- Shaheen Shah Afridi had an amazing last game, picking up three wickets, and he does have a good wicket-taking run against New Zealand. He took 20 wickets in 8 matches he played against them.

3- Haris Rauf has been quite expensive in the tournament, and in the last 9 matches, he took 16 wickets with an economy of 6.14.
