Pakistan vs New Zealand at a Glance
Pakistan vs New Zealand Team Preview
Pakistan
With seven wickets and over two overs remaining, Pakistan cruised to their second-highest chase in the format by knocking down New Zealand’s 336 thanks to Fakhar Zaman’s third consecutive ODI hundred, a scorching 180* off 144 balls. When Pakistan plays the Kiwis in the third game of the five-match ODI series, they will be the favorites to win the series with a 2-0 lead.
In ODIs, Pakistan’s batting lineup is simply too formidable. They have some terrifying batting depth with Fakhar Zaman in terrific form, followed by Babar, Rizwan, and Mohammad Nawaz. It’s unlikely that this inexperienced New Zealand bowling attack will cause them much trouble.
New Zealand
Even though New Zealand performed significantly better than they did in the first ODI, they still lost the match. They will be secured before playing in this match.
The return of their captain to the running will please the Kiwis. This is encouraging for them going into the final games. Although their batting lineup is largely in order, their bowling is their biggest weakness. The club is having trouble without Tim Southee, Lockie Ferguson, and Mitch Santner in its lineup. Matt Henry has done well, but he needs additional assistance.

Pakistan vs New Zealand outfield report
National Stadium, Karachi
The team batting second has triumphed 26 times in 49 One-Day Internationals played at the National Stadium in Karachi. In limited-overs cricket today, teams prefer to chase, hence the team that wins the toss in this match is most likely to do so.
On the day of the game, it will be scorching in Karachi during the day and a little cooler at night.
The Karachi National Stadium’s pitch is typically excellent, so another run-fest may be in store. The batters will like the surface’s consistent flatness and uniform bounce.
