NZ Vs PAK Dream11 Prediction, Today Match Prediction NZ Vs PAK World Cup 2023

New Zealand will take on Pakistan in the 35th match of the ODI World Cup 2023 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The Blackcaps have lost three matches in a row, which has put their hopes for qualification in the semi-final of the quadrennial spectacle in jeopardy, while the Men in Green registered a thumping win against Bangladesh to keep their hopes alive. The contrasting form for both the teams puts Pakistan in the box seat to achieve a positive result in their upcoming ODI World Cup 2023 fixture, but New Zealand are not going to go down without a fight.

New Zealand had a really tough day as a batting unit against South Africa in their previous match of the ODI World Cup while chasing a mammoth total in excess of 350. The bowling attack struggled to curtail runs in the second half of the innings for Blackcaps when the remaining overs for the injured Matt Henry were bowled by James Neesham, but still, it’s worth noting that the likes of Trent Boult and Mitchell Santner were reasonably good in their bowling spells.

Meanwhile, the Pakistan batting lineup was bolstered immensely by the returning Fakhar Zaman, who provided much-needed impetus to the team against Bangladesh in their previous match, while chasing down a total of 204. It was the fast bowling trio of Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Wasim Jr, and Haris Rauf, who shared eight wickets amongst themselves against their last opposition, to showcase how good they can be, as a collective force.
