New Zealand vs Pakistan Chance of Winning
After a terrific start to the campaign, it seems the wheels have come off as New Zealand have lost each of the last three games. The last game against South Africa was the worst defeat for New Zealand in this tournament. South Africa scored a mammoth 357 and in reply, New Zealand batsmen stumbled to mere 167 as they lost the game by 190 runs. With eight points in seven games, New Zealand are currently fourth on the table.
After a steady start to the tournament, Pakistan lost four games on the bounce and were on the blink of elimination. They managed to turn things around as Pakistan bagged a thumping victory against Bangladesh in the last game which gave them hope to qualify for the semis this term. As per our calculations, New Zealand are slight favourites in the upcoming game.
- New Zealand’s chances of winning - 45%

New Zealand vs Pakistan Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
Even with all the struggles in the recent games, it's hard to see New Zealand deviate from their aggressive approach. So far in this tournament, New Zealand have hit 58 sixes and are third on the table in regards to most sixes in the tournament. On the other hand, Pakistan have only managed to hit 41 sixes. What's more enticing is the fact New Zealand has been pretty consistent with their approach throughout the tournament which makes us believe New Zealand would hit more sixes in the game.
One of the main reasons for New Zealand's struggles in the last four games is down to not utilising the powerplay. New Zealand have struggled to score well in the first ten overs and have lost early wickets which stops them from accelerating even further. Only once in the last five games have they managed to cross the 50 runs mark and in the last four of the five games they have been outscored by their opponents. We believe Pakistan would score more than New Zealand in the powerplay.

New Zealand vs Pakistan Match Toss Prediction
The wicket in Bangalore is a nightmare for bowlers as it is one of the smallest grounds in India. In the last four games, the team batting first has won the game on three occasions which makes us believe both sides would prefer to bat first at the venue as it's always tough to chase a big score regardless how the wickets behave.
Weather Report
With 68% chances of rain, we believe climate would impact the game which could result in a shorter game. Maximum temperature is expected to be 28C during the game and minimum temperature is expected to be 20C.

New Zealand vs Pakistan Betting Odds
Pakistan to have a better opening partnership than New Zealand
New Zealand’s form seems to have taken a nosedive after three back to back defeats against teams who are directly competing for the top four spots. New Zealand and Pakistan square off in a potential four pointer as it seems to be a must win fixture for both sides this term. One one hand New Zealand are on a rut after a great start to the campaign and on the other hand, even though Pakistan are yet to beat a top side in the tournament but their performances have improved in the last few games. One of the key differences between the two sides has been the form of opening batsmen. Devon Conway struggled to make a mark after his opening day heroics and Will Young has also failed to make a mark in this tournament. In the last five games, New Zealand has managed an opening stand of 12, 30, 9, 61 and 8 and in each of the last three fixtures they have conceded a bigger opening stand. Pakistan has managed two 100 runs and a 50 run opening partnership in the last four games which makes us believe Pakistan would have a bigger opening stand than New Zealand in the upcoming game.

New Zealand vs Pakistan Top Team Batters
Rachin Ravindra to be New Zealand’s top batter
New Zealand had a shocking batting display in the last game against South Africa. But that doesn’t change the fact Rachin Ravindra has been a revelation for New Zealand in this tournament. With 415 runs, Ravindra is the leading run scorer for New Zealand which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Abdullah Shafique to be Pakistan’s top batter
Even though Mohammad Rizwan is the leading run scorer for Pakistan but Abdullah Shafique has been the key figure in the last few games and his form cannot be disregarded. Shafique has scored three half centuries in the last four games which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
New Zealand vs Pakistan Top Team Bowlers
Trent Boult to be New Zealand’s top bowler
After a slow start to the tournament, Trent Boult seems to have peaked at the right time for New Zealand. He has been one of the most economical bowlers for New Zealand and has taken nine wickets in the last five matches which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Shaheen Afridi to be Pakistan’s top bowler
Shaheen Afridi is the reason why Pakistan are still in the hunt for a top four finish. Afridi has been sensational in this tournament as he remains the only bowler who has taken a wicket in every World Cup game since he made the debut. With 16 wickets, Afridi is the leading wicket taker for Pakistan which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
