Pakistan vs New Zealand Team Preview

Pakistan

By making changes to their team and still winning the game on Friday, Pakistan demonstrated their strength in depth. They will be quite sure that they can win one more game to win the series. 

Before the fourth ODI, the series had already been settled, thus Pakistan made adjustments, bringing back Iftikhar Ahmed, Mohammad Haris, and Shan Masood. For this series’ penultimate game, we anticipate that those three players will be chosen once more.

New Zealand

Although they have been able to compete in games, New Zealand hasn’t been able to really put Pakistan under pressure player by player. To win this game, they must all perform at their highest level.

In the fourth ODI, Tom Blundell took over wicket-keeping responsibilities from Captain Tom Latham and switched places with Chad Bowes at the top of the order. Both Ben Lister and Blair Tickner returned to the team, and we anticipate that both of them will be picked again on Sunday.

The captain who won the toss has decided to field first in each of the four games. If the skippers win the toss on Sunday, we believe they will decide to bowl first to end the series.

The match on Sunday is expected to take place in sunny conditions with a 36% humidity level.

The game’s prepared wicket will be suitable for batting with some pacer assistance.
