Pakistan is leading the series 2-0 by winning the first two matches. New Zealand would like to win the third ODI to come back into the series. On the other hand Pakistan wants to sweep the visitors by winning the third match of the 5 match series. We predict a 3-2 series victory for Pakistan.

Pakistan vs New Zealand Match Toss Prediction
The Karachi National Stadium's pitch is typically batting favorable, so another run-fest may be in store. The batters will like the surface's consistent flatness and uniform bounce. When the ball is brand-new, seamers will experience some movement, but after that, this will be a batting haven. After winning the toss both the teams would like to bat first and set a target of 320+ score against the opposition.
Weather Forecast
It's a summer season in Pakistan so players will have to face hot weather in Karachi where temperature may reach to 35 degree celsius. Humidity will be around 55%. Wind may blow with the speed of 13 KMPH.

New Zealand Form
The team played well in their most recent matches, particularly in the batting department, but sadly, their poor bowling performance cost them the game. Therefore, the team's primary concern is bowling. The line and length that Matt Henry and Adam Milne showed in T20s should be maintained. Daryl Mitchell has an exceptional tour, after some good innings in T20 now he has 2 back to back centuries in two matches.
Head to Head
Pakistan and New Zealand have faced each other in 111 matches where Pakistan had the upper hand in 57 matches whereas New Zealand have won 50 matches. 3 matches ended with no result and one was a tie.
- Total ODI matches played - 111

Kiwis have a 3.10 winning odds as compared to 1.10 percent for Pakistan.
- Pakistan to win @ 1.10
- New Zealand to win @ 3.10
Pakistan vs New Zealand Top Team Batsman
Smashing 117 and 180 in two back to back matches Fakhar Zaman showed that he is the top class player of this format and best of his career. Babar Azam is another reliable player for Pakistan who has scored 49 and 65 runs respectively in two games.
Opener batsman Will Young, Middle order batsman Daryl Mitchel and captain Tom Latham are the most consistent run scorers for Kiwis. The skipper smashed 98 runs in the previous match. Will Young was also impressive with 86 on 78 balls in the first match. Daryl Mitchel, no doubt a world class middle order batsman who is in outstanding form as he smashed 113 and 129 in both the matches respectively.
Pakistan vs New Zealand Top Team Bowlers
After T20s Haris Rauf continued his outstanding form. He picked 6 wickets in two matches. He will be the key bowler for Pakistan at their home ground. The real threat to the opponents may ultimately come from pacer Naseem Shah, who has 21 wickets in his previous 7 ODI matches.
New Zealand team management will choose a bowler from Adam Milne and Henry Shipley. Milne did impressive bowling in T20s and Shipley had an economical spell in the last game. At the turning wickets of Pakistan Ish Sodhi may also trouble the Pakistani bowlers.
Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Pakistan
Pakistan have some terrifying batting depth with Fakhar Zaman in terrific form, followed by Babar, Rizwan, and Mohammad Nawaz. In the bowling department Haris Rauf has been outstanding so far by picking 4 wickets. After losing two straight matches, New Zealand entered the T20 series again. The same is to be expected here in the ODI series as well because this Kiwi team is not to be taken lightly. But on their own turf, Pakistan is a formidable foe. The team is excellent in both bowling and batting. We predict a close contest, with the home team coming out on top.
- Pakistan to win @ 1.10
- New Zealand to win @ 3.10
