Pitch Report

The previous match played between Pakistan and New Zealand was a high-scoring affair. It was a superb effort by both team batters as Babar Azam and Co posted 345 for 5 in 50 overs with Mohammed Rizwan, Babar Azam, Saud Shakeel, and Salman Ali Agha scoring runs that helped them to post a big total.

In reply, New Zealand batters showed their class and chased down the target with 38 balls to spare. It promises to be another high-scoring affair. The captain that wins the toss would likely bat first putting pressure on the opponents and restricting the opponents.
