PAK vs NZ ODI Match Prediction: Pakistan will play the first match of the Tri-Series against the New Zealand side. The match will be played at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, on February 8, 2025.
Team Preview of Pakistan vs New Zealand ODI Match Prediction 2025
Pakistan must be very confident coming into the ODI series. In recent times, they won the ODI series against South Africa by 3-0 at the South African ground, which was a great achievement for them. However, the star performer of that series, Saim Ayub, will be out until the Champions Trophy after suffering an ankle injury on the tour.
Mohammad Rizwan will lead the side in the very important series, which is the last chance for them to assemble the perfect squad because of the ICC Champions Trophy.
The New Zealand side will be getting a big boost as their main player, Kane Williamson, is back in the ODI squad, and other players have also been performing well recently; they won the ODI series against the Sri Lanka side at home.
It is going to be Mitchell Santner’s first time captaining the team in the ICC Champions Trophy, which is why this series is one of the important steps for him to hone his captaincy skills.

The pitch at Gaddafi Stadium generally tends to offer a balanced contest between batters and bowlers. While it does provide some assistance to spinners, especially as the match progresses and the pitch wears down, it also favors batters early on with good carry and bounce. This means that if the batsmen settle in, they can score runs effectively, but spinners can become increasingly influential later in the game. Overall, it can be advantageous for both sides, depending on the match situation and the conditions.
