Pakistan vs New Zealand Predictions

This is a dress rehearsal for the opening Champions Trophy game in less than a week. New Zealand beat Pakistan less than a week ago, and I am backing them to win again.

Head to Head

Pakistan have won three of their last five ODIs against New Zealand. However, they met less than a week ago in a game New Zealand won with relative comfort. This is also a dress rehearsal for the opening Champions Trophy game in less than a week.

Pakistan Form

Pakistan lost to New Zealand in the Tri Series opening game but bounced back to beat South Africa a couple of days ago to qualify for the final.

Bowling first on a very good batting wicket, Pakistan struggled to contain a South African batting lineup brimming with confidence. The Proteas scored 352 runs in their 50 overs.

Pakistan got off to a good start with Fakhar Zaman scoring 41 off just 28 balls. They still lost three wickets before getting to 100 runs, however, Mohammad Rizwan (122*) and Salmah Agha (134) put on a huge 240-run stand to steer Pakistan to a six-wicket win.

Pakistan will also make changes to their side. Babar Azam missed the last game and may return for this. Other key players could be rested.

New Zealand Form

New Zealand cruised into the Tri Series final, beating Pakistan in the opener before seeing off South Africa.

The Black Caps conceded 304 runs bowling first, which left them with a very tough chase in Lahore. However, Devon Conway found some form with a well-played 97 in a 180-run second-wicket partnership with Kane Williamson who scored 133*.

New Zealand cruised to a six-wicket win with eight balls to spare in the match.

New Zealand Injuries & Team News

The Black Caps will not be concerned about winning the tournament and will certainly make changes to give other squad members a run before the Champions Trophy.

Verdict

Pakistan v New Zealand

I am backing New Zealand to win and Devon Conway to top score for the Black Caps.

For Pakistan, I can't look past Salman Agha who scored a huge 100 in the last game.
