Pitch Report :

Hagley Oval, Christchurch. The pitch at this stadium is good for batting but is one of the slower pitches in New Zealand. Run-scoring is not going to be very easy and that could actually be a good thing for both teams. Pacers have generally enjoyed the conditions, accounting for 60 percent of the wickets. A change of pace will be key, with both teams likely to prefer chasing upon winning the toss.

The average first innings scored here is 165 runs.

The temperature is expected to hover around 04°C on the Friday with 88% humidity and 13 km/hr wind speed. There are no chances of rain during the game.

Preview :

New Zealand and Pakistan will play the final of the tri-series on Friday, October 14 at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch. Both teams have played against each other twice in the series so far and they have won one game each. In their last game, New Zealand defeated Pakistan by nine wickets after chasing a target of 131 runs in 16.1 overs. Pakistan, on the other hand, defeated Bangladesh in their last game by seven wickets after chasing the target of 174 runs on the penultimate delivery of the game. The result of this game will give mileage to both the team’s preparation for the T20 World Cup which is set to start on Sunday this year.

New Zealand has to be the deserving favorite going into this series. It has been able to set aside a slow start where it lost its opening match to Pakistan and really build some momentum. Three wins on the trot and a number of different players performing are all good signs. Perhaps the most impressive player for New Zealand so far has been Glenn Phillips. He comes in during the middle or end of the inning and is able to accelerate from ball one. He is also quite useful with his bowling. The big question that New Zealand has to answer is if Kane Williamson fits into the best playing eleven. Finn Allen and Devon Conway are the first-choice openers but having someone like Martin Guptill at three could be a great option as well.

Pakistan pulled off an excellent chase against Bangladesh in its previous match. That was a tricky chase that Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam, and then Mohammad Nawaz pull off with ease. It looks more and more likely that Pakistan's best middle-order players are actually its all-rounders, Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz. Both of them are in tremendous touch and able to attack the bowlers with ease. Expect a lot more of them in the middle during the T20 World Cup. Perhaps the bowling effort from Pakistan could have been a bit better. They managed to pick up regular wickets but never got the run rate under control. The absence of Shaheen Afridi is obvious in their lineup. It should be kept in mind that Pakistan has not really played its bowling unit so far either.
