Pakistan vs New Zealand Match Prediction

The New Zealand tour to Pakistan will commence from 27th Dec as kiwis are going to play 2 test matches and 3 ODI matches against Pakistan at their home ground. First test will start from 27 December 2022 at National Stadium, Karachi and 2nd Test will be played in Multan from 3rd January. The New Zealand team is touring Pakistan after a long period of 20 years. Last time both the teams encountered each other in 2002.

Bet on WTC

New Zealand Captain Kane Williamson’s resignation has shocked the cricket world as the team was performing well under his visionary leadership. Now Tim Southee will take charge of black caps in the absence of Kane Williamson. On the other hand Babar Azam will lead the home team.

Pakistan vs New Zealand Chance of winning

Pakistan has lost 4 back to back tests at the home ground. They were just defeated by England with a shameful 3-0 in their domestic conditions. So the team will be in tremendous pressure when they will come to fight against the Kiwis. On the other hand New Zealand also faced 3-0 defeat in their last test series against England. By the way Pakistan has 54% chances of winning the game whereas New Zealand has 23% predictions of victory.

Our Prediction

This is going to be a smashing encounter between these two teams. If we talk about their previous matches both the teams are at the same level. Pakistan lost against England and New Zealand also lost against England. Pakistan will take advantage of local conditions. Spin attack is also a positive side for Pakistan as New Zealand players struggle against quality spin bowling. It's tough to predict the result of this test but we hope for a victory for Pakistan.

Pakistan to win @ 1.89
New Zealand to win @ 4.40
Draw @ 4.50

Pakistan vs New Zealand Tournament Prediction & Betting Tips 2022

This two test match series will not make any big impact on the World Test Champion as both the teams are not going to qualify in WTC finals. Only Australia, India and South Africa will qualify for the same. Pakistan and New Zealand are at 7th and 8th Position in the points table respectively. So this two match series is not as crucial from that point of view.

In this series we hope for some innings from Captain Babar Azam, Abdullah and Shan Masood. Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan will show their patience in the middle order. In Bowling department Pakistan is mostly dependent on Abrar Ahmed.

For New Zealand Tom Latham and Will Young will start the inning followed by Kane Williamson, Devon Conway, and Henry Nicholls. In the middle order Tom Blundell and Glenn Phillips will do the job. New Zealand bowling comprises Tim Southee, Ajaz Patel, and Neil Wagner.

Pakistan vs New Zealand Match Toss Prediction

Karachi’s National Stadium has a balanced pitch which has equal opportunities for batsmen and bowlers. The team winning the toss would love to bat first. Initially Pacers may get success in some early break through but Spinners will have more advantage as the game will progress. We hope more than 300 runs for the team batting first.
