ODI World Cup 2023: PAK vs NZ Dream11 prediction, Playing XI, Head-To-Head Stats, and Pitch Report for Match 35

New Zealand (NZ) and Pakistan (PAK) are set to face each other in what is dubbed as the biggest game for both the sides. The equation is simple, a win for New Zealand will mean an early exit for Pakistan from the ODI World Cup 2023 tournament.

Meanwhile a win for Pakistan will keep their hopes alive for a place in the semi-finals of the ODI World Cup 2023. Babar Azam and his side not only have to win the game on Saturday but also win it by a huge margin to overhaul the Kiwis net run-rate. 

New Zealand come into the game after the huge defeat suffered in the hands of South Africa. James Neesham and Matt Henry have compounded the issues more after suffering injuries in Pune. After winning four games in a row the Kiwis have lost their last three games to slide to number four in the table.
