Pakistan vs New Zealand, ICCCT, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​ Pakistan vs New Zealand​ ​​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 19, Wednesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : National Stadium Karachi, Karachi East, Pakistan​𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st ODI 2025 We have waited for eight years but finally the ICC Champions Trophy returns on Wednesday as Pakistan host New Zealand in match one! Pakistan vs New Zealand TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. TEAMS PREVIEW Pakistan Preview Pakistan may not be playing their best cricket at the moment but they are still a side who are packed with match-winners and top international players. Right-handed opener Babar Azam may not be in the best form of his career but he recently went past 6000 ODI runs and a player of his class will find form again at some point. Fortunately his opening partner, Fakhar Zaman, is hitting the ball cleanly and will be confident coming into this game. Pakistan’s most consistent batters in this format are skipper Mohammed Rizwan and Salman Agha who will bat at four and five. Between the pair, they have scored almost 60% of their team’s runs in their last two ODIs. New Zealand Preview New Zealand were without Lockie Ferguson, Ben Sears, Matt Henry and Rachin Ravindra for the final of the Pakistan Tri-Nation Series but still had more than enough in the locker to win the final against Pakistan on Sunday. Ahead of this opener, the mood-music is that only Matt Henry will return to the XI with Rachin Ravindra not far away but not worth risking at this stage. In the batting department, Devon Conway, Kane Williamson, Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips have all made big scores on this trip and every New Zealand side always has batting depth. With the ball, the returning Henry will lead the attack with Michael Bracewell alongside Mitchell Santner providing vital control with accurate spin bowling. Weather Conditions The game will get underway at 14:00 local time, the hottest time of the day with the sun blaring out and the temperature at 29 degrees. Even after sundown, it will still be over 24 degrees in Karachi throughout the evening. PAK vs NZ Pitch Report Sunday’s final of the Pakistan Tri-Nation Series showed that there is something for both the batters and bowlers. No batter made a score of over 57 and it was Pakistan’s 242 which was easily overhauled by New Zealand with 28 balls and five wickets in hand. A par total looks to be around 300 on a pitch with consistent bounce. Toss: To Bat Of the last ten ODIs at the National Stadium in Karachi, five have been won by the team fielding first with five won by the side bowling first! With the hottest weather of the day likely to be in the first innings, we predict that both captains will want to bat first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : New Zealand vs Pakistan 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 14, Friday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : National Bank of Pakistan Sports Complex, Karachi, Pakistan, Pakistan 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Final ODI 2025 In New Zealand’s last match against Pakistan in this tri-series, Glenn Phillips smashed an incredible unbeaten 106 off 74 balls. New Zealand vs Pakistan TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. NZ vs PAK Match Prediction & Analysis New Zealand and Pakistan will face off in the Pakistan Tri-Nation Series final this Friday night in Karachi. The Kiwis have been the most dominant side in the tournament, coming into this match with back-to-back victories and plenty of confidence. Pakistan, on the other hand, may not have been flawless, but their familiarity with local conditions could work in their favor. With home support behind them, they won’t be easy to beat. That said, New Zealand look like the team to beat, making this final a thrilling battle between momentum and home advantage. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview New Zealand have been the standout team in the Pakistan Tri-Nation Series, securing a spot in the final after easing past both Pakistan and South Africa. They started strong with a commanding 78-run victory over the hosts before dismantling the Proteas by six wickets. With the title now within reach, New Zealand will aim to wrap up the series on a high. Kane Williamson has been the backbone of the batting lineup, racking up 191 runs in just two innings, including a century and a half-century. Daryl Mitchell has chipped in with 91 runs at an aggressive strike rate of 96.80, providing stability in the middle order. Pakistan Preview Pakistan didn’t get off to the best start in this tri-series, falling to New Zealand in their opening match. However, they responded well with a strong performance against South Africa, chasing down a huge total of 355 with one over to spare. That impressive win secured their place in the final. With home conditions on their side, they will look to carry that momentum into the title decider. Fakhar Zaman has been a key player at the top of the order, amassing 125 runs across two innings with a strike rate of 129. Salman Agha has also played a steady role, adding 174 runs from two innings, including a sublime 134 in the previous match against South Africa. Mohammad Rizwan too was among the runs in the last match, scoring a terrific unbeaten 122 to take his team home. His presence will give the batting order much-needed stability. The middle order remains an area of strength, with Tayyab Tahir and Khushdil Shah adding an aggressive touch when required. Weather Conditions The National Stadium in Karachi presents a balanced pitch with a slight inclination towards pace bowlers. The surface offers initial movement for seamers, especially in the first hour. As the game progresses, spinners will find increasing assistance with some turn and bounce. Batsmen can expect a fair batting track with good bounce, but they’ll need to apply themselves carefully. The pitch generally supports a competitive and exciting cricket match. The weather in Karachi will be very warm but clear. NZ vs PAK Pitch Report The average score batting first at the National Stadium in Karachi is 244. The highest total posted here is India’s 374-4 versus Hong Kong in the 2008 Asia Cup. We reckon a score of around 280-300 will be challenging in the final. Toss: To Bat Since this is the final, both teams are likely to prefer to bat first as that’s the safer bet in such a high-pressure game on a good wicket.

New Zealand vs South Africa, POT, Today Match Prediction

New Zealand vs South Africa, POT, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : New Zealand vs South Africa​​​​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 10, Monday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 10:00 AM IST​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore Cantt, Pakistan​𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd ODI 2025 After New Zealand enjoyed a very comfortable win over Pakistan on Saturday, they now take on South Africa back in Lahore on Monday! New Zealand vs South Africa TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. NZ vs RSA Match Prediction & Analysis This looks set to be an exciting second game in the Pakistan Tri-Nation Series with South Africa playing their opening game of the competition and taking on the winners of match one – New Zealand. The opening game of the series showed that there are plenty of runs to be had on this pitch in Lahore and it was Kane Williamson (58), Daryl Mitchell (81), Glenn Phillips (106*) and Fakhar Zaman (84) who were the leading players with the bat. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview Although this tri-nation series has been scheduled to help all three teams arrive at the ICC Champions Trophy at their peak later in the month, we do not expect New Zealand to make any changes to the side who beat Pakistan by 78 runs on Saturday. It was Glenn Phillips who stood out, hitting an unbeaten century and showing just how powerful a player he is, and we predict that he will play in a similarly aggressive manner in this clash. South Africa Preview With the SA20 only just coming to a conclusion, and due to injuries to Anrich Nortje and Gerald Coetzee, South Africa will not be able to put out their strongest XI for this game. They look the most weak in their pace bowling attack but there will also be an opportunity there for the likes of Junior Dala or Gideon Peters to make a claim for a place in their XI when the likes of Kagiso Rabada are back in the mix. With the bat, Matthew Breetzke is a fine white ball top order player and he is likely to adopt an aggressive approach from the first ball onwards. Expect keeper-batter Heinrich Klaasen to be used in a floating position with the team management likely to want to see him arriving at the crease from around the 30th over onwards. Weather Conditions With this match being played from 09:30 through to 17:30, the temperatures will be slightly different from Saturday’s game. That means that it could be as low as 15 degrees at the toss but will be at least ten degrees hotter about two hours later! NZ vs RSA Pitch Report The Gaddafi Stadium is a good wicket for batting on. Batters like the pace of the ball and can trust the bounce of the pitch so we expect a par score to be in the region of 320-340. Toss: To Bowl New Zealand showed the value in posting a score then successfully defending it on Saturday and so, here at the same venue, we predict that both captains will go out for the toss looking to bat first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Pakistan vs New Zealand 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 08, Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore Cantt, Pakistan 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st ODI 2025 With the ICC Champions Trophy just around the corner, Pakistan and New Zealand kick off the Tri-Nation Series on Saturday! Pakistan vs New Zealand TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. PAK vs NZ Match Prediction & Analysis Excitement is building in Pakistan ahead of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy and we expect the level of anticipation to only go up a notch ahead of this opening clash of the Tri-Nation Series. All three teams in this tournament, hosts Pakistan, New Zealand and South Africa, are not among the favourites for the eight country competition later in the month but they will all be happy to enter as underdogs due to the immense skill and talent they all have. TEAMS PREVIEW Pakistan Preview On a wicket which we expect to be hard, shiny and bouncy, we anticipate Pakistan will go all out and unleash their four express-pace bowlers in this opening game of the Tri-Nation Series. That means Shaheen Shah Afridi to take the new ball with Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf along with Mohammad Hasnain ready to step up as first change bowlers. As ever, we can expect these Pakistan pacers to bowl with hostility and aggression with a priority of taking wickets. The issue always is though that they are still able to go for plenty of runs when the batters get established at the crease. Babar Azam is going through a lean spell of form with the bat but he will see this game as an opportunity to find some form ahead of the Champions Trophy. If he can get going then Pakistan, along with Saud Shakheel, Umran Khan and skipper Mohammad Rizwan, could well pile on the runs in this game on Saturday! New Zealand Preview New Zealand have already tasted success in ODI cricket in 2025 and although they were well beaten by Sri Lanka in the third and final game of the series in January, they won the previous two games by nine wicket and by 113 runs. We expect the Black Caps to treat this game and the whole series with full respect and look to get all of their players into the best possible form ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy. The biggest selection query looks to be over the place of Tom Latham in the side. The Test captain is a strong player across all formats but we expect the right-handed Will Young to get the nod to make a left-right opening partnership with all-rounder Rachin Ravindra. Weather Conditions The forecast is for a cloudier day on Saturday compared to the previous and following days in Lahore. The temperature will be up at 22 degrees at the start of the game but will drop to the high teens by the conclusion. PAK vs NZ Pitch Report The last ODI in Lahore yielded a one-sided contest between Bangladesh and Pakistan with the hosts winning by seven wickets with 63 balls remaining. We expect a hard and true wicket with spinners mainly used to slow the pace of the runs. Whoever bats first will be looking to post a total of at least 285. Toss: To Bowl With four of the last six ODIs in Lahore won by the team fielding first and chasing down a target in the second innings of the game, we predict that both captains will want to bowl first ahead of this fixture.

NZ vs SL Match Prediction & Analysis New Zealand will take on Sri Lanka in the 3rd ODI of the 3-match ODI leg of Sri Lanka tour of New Zealand at Eden Park, Auckland on 11th January 2025 at 6:30 am IST. Sri Lanka are on a tour to New Zealand to play three T20Is and three ODIs. New Zealand won the T20I series 2-1, and now they have a series-winning lead of 2-0 against Sri Lanka with one match to go. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview New Zealand are proving to be a great ODI team especially in home conditions. They have played 16 ODIs in last five years at home and have lost only one. They have a particularly good record against Sri Lanka in the last two years where the stats are in favor of New Zealand 5-2 with one no-result. After winning the T20I series 2-1, New Zealand have won both the ODIs in the 3-match ODI series to get an unassailable lead of 2-0 against Sri Lanka. In the first ODI, New Zealand registered a huge win by 9 wickets against Sri Lanka. Winning the toss and bowling first, they restricted Sri Lanka to 178 runs in the 44th over. Matt Henry took 4 wickets for just 19 runs. Nathan Smith and Jacob Duffy shined with 2 wickets each. New Zealand completed the chase for the loss of just one wicket. Rachin Ravindra scored 4-5 while Will Young top-scored with 90 runs. Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka have had a disastrous tour of New Zealand so far. They were here to play three T20 internationals and three ODIs. Having lost the three-match T20I series 1-2 to New Zealand, they have lost the ODI series as well with a match to go after losing the second ODI as well at Hamilton. In the first ODI, they managed just 178 all-out against New Zealand’s balling attack. Avishka Fernando and Janith Liyange scored valuable runs as the rest of the batting lineup crumbled under the pressure. It was an easy win for New Zealand by 9 wickets.  In the second ODI, Sri Lanka elected to field first in a range-shortened game – 37 overs aside. By the time New Zealand’s second wicket fell at 143, they had scored at 7 runs and over against Sri Lankan attack. Mahesh Theekshana did pull things back with some lower order wickets. He ended up getting 4 wickets for 44 runs in 8 overs. Wanindu Hasaranga took 2 wickets for 39 runs in 8 overs.  Weather Conditions The weather on the match day at Eden Park, Auckland is expected to be pleasant and sunny. The temperature would range between 22 °C and 17 °C. There may be some rain in the day, but that should not abandon the game. NZ vs SL Pitch Report It is one of the most iconic cricket venues in New Zealand. Established in 1900, this venue hosted a Test Match in 1930. Since then, it has hosted many Tests, ODIs, and T20 International. Hidden Park is popular for its unique dimensions where it has very short straight boundaries. It has hosted 2015 ODI World Cup matches as well. The venue has a seating capacity of 50,000 spectators, making it one of the biggest stadiums in New Zealand. Toss: To Bowl In the 74 ODIs at this venue that ended in outright result, about 60% have been won by the team’s bowling first, whereas the rest have been won by the team’s batting first. This is typically a New Zealand venue where there is early assistance for the bowlers. The team winning the toss should bowl first here.

NZ vs SL Match Prediction & Analysis New Zealand will take on Sri Lanka in the 2nd ODI in Sri Lanka tour of New Zealand at Seddon Park, Hamilton on 8th January 2024 at 6:30 am IST. Sri Lanka are on a tour to New Zealand to play 3 T20Is and 3 ODIs. The T20I series ended in favor of New Zealand as they won the series 2-1.  TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview When it comes to ODIs, New Zealand are enjoying a great run at home. In the last 5 years, New Zealand played 15 games at home and won 12. They lost 1 game and 2 games ended in no result. Against Sri Lanka also, they have a good record of winning 4 out of their last 7 head-to-head games (1 no -result) New Zealand started the 3-match ODI series with a big win by 9 wickets against Sri Lanka. In the first ODI, New Zealand bowled first after winning the toss. They reduced Sri Lanka to 4 for 23 by the 10th over. Sri Lanka somehow managed to reach 178 all out in the 44th over. Matt Henry was the peak of the bowlers, claiming 4 wickets for just 19 runs. Jacob Duffy and Nathan Smith took 2 wickets each. Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka are on a tour to New Zealand to play three T20Is and three ODIs. They have already lost the T20 series 1-2 in favor of New Zealand. In the first ODI as well, Sri Lanka looked clueless against a top-notch New Zealand bowling attack, losing the batch by 9 wickets with about 23 overs remaining. It will be interesting to see if they can come back in this second ODI. The first ODI started with Sri Lanka batted first after losing the toss. Sri Lanka started cautiously, however, lost 4 quick wickets by the 10th over, scoring just 23 runs. Avishka Fernando and Janith Liyange forced a partnership to take them to 110. Chamindu Vikramasinghe and Wanindu Hasaranga added some runs down the order, but Sri Lanka could manage just 178 all out in the 44th over. Avishka Fernando was the top scorer with 56 runs. Weather Conditions The weather on the match day at Seddon Park, Hamilton is expected to be mostly cloudy and breezy. The temperature will range between a high of 25°C and a low of 12°C. The cloudy and breezy conditions should help the team bowling first. There is absolutely no chance of rain. These are perfect conditions for a cricket match.

NZ vs SL Match Prediction & Analysis New Zealand will take on Sri Lanka in the  3rd T20I of the 3-match series at Saxton Oval, Nelson on 2nd January 2024 at 5:45 am IST. Sri Lanka are on a tour to New Zealand to play three ODIs and three T20 internationals. The tour has begun with a series of T20Is and will be followed by 3 ODIs. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview New Zealand have had a mixed year 2024 winning 11 of the 21 international T20 games. Having said that, they have done pretty well against Sri Lanka, winning 4 of their last 5 head-to-head games. They have already won 2 games in this 3-match series. In the first T20I against Sri Lanka, New Zealand pulled off an amazing win by 8 runs. Batting first New Zealand scored 172 for 8 thanks to the rearguard efforts from Daryl Mitchell (62 off 42 balls) and Michael Bracewell (59 off 33 balls). The duo was involved in a 105-run partnership after New Zealand were 65 runs for five wickets in the 10th over. The defense did not start well as they allowed Sri Lanka to cruise to 121 in the 13th over. However, Jacob Duffy took 3 wickets in the 14th over to gain the momentum back for New Zealand. New did not allow the Lankans to get back in the game. Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka have done pretty much same as New Zealand in the year 2024. They have played 22 games, winning 10 out of them. But they do particularly badly against New Zealand with just 1 win in the last 5 head-to-head games. Sri Lanka had a great chance of winning the first T20 international against New Zealand. After restricting New Zealand to 172 for 8, Sri Lanka started the chase excellently well, with their openers, Pathum Nissanka and Kushal Mendis, scoring above 120 runs without loss in the 13th over. But as soon as they lost the first wicket on 121, they lost a couple more on the same score. The rest of the batting just could not stand up against New Zealand bowlers. None of the next seven batters managed to score in double digits as Sri Lanka lost by 8 runs. Weather Conditions The weather on the match day at Saxton Oval, Nelson is expected to be a bit of cloudy as well as sunny throughout the day. The temperature will range between a high of 22°C and a low of around 12°C. There is a possibility of a morning shower but that should not affect the game much. NZ vs SL Pitch Report The venue of the match is Saxton Oval, Nelson. Established in 2009, it was developed by Nelson Cricket Association in New Zealand. The venue has officiated two T20 internationals and 12 ODIs so far along with a few domestic matches. The venue has a seating capacity of around 6,000 spectators. Toss: To Bat Only two international T20 games have been played at this venue before this game. Both the matches have been won by the team batting first.

NZ vs SL Match Prediction & Analysis It is the first game of the three-match T20i series, and both teams shall look for an early lead. New Zealand had drawn the last T20 series against Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka and is playing at home; the side will count on its chances. The Sri Lankans haven’t done well outside the subcontinent in recent years, and this will be a big test for the team in this game.  Sri Lanka has a poor record playing in New Zealand. They have won only once in the eight T20 games against the hosts. The side doesn’t have a strong bowling attack for these conditions. New Zealand has a strong fast bowling unit and shall look to leverage it. The history is against the Sri Lankans, and it will be interesting to see if they can turn it around on this tour. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview Mitchell Santner and his team will start confidently in this game. They have done well at home and have the bowling attack to trouble the Sri Lankans in these conditions. However, Santner will know his opponents’ abilities to deliver a strong counterpunch and expect a strong show from his players.  Tim Robinson and Mark Chapman will look to deliver a good start and put the team in a commanding position. The middle order is strong for the team, and they expect a good show in this game from Rachin Ravindra, Glenn Phillips, and Daryl Mitchell. Mitchell Santner, Zakary Foulkes, and Mitchell Hay strengthen this batting lineup with their hitting abilities.  The bowlers will enjoy bowling in these conditions, and the team expects Jacob Duffy and Matt Henry to rock the Sri Lankan top order. Mitchell Santner will look to use his experience and do well in the middle overs with Zakary Foulkes. Ravindra and Glenn Phillips add variety to this attack, making it strong. Sri Lanka Preview Charith Asalanka’s team will face a massive challenge in this game. They have struggled in these conditions, and their batting lineup has a history of struggling on fast and bouncy tracks. Asalanka would like his batsmen to take the challenge head-on and do well in this game to take an early lead.  Pathum Nissanka has enjoyed good form in recent matches, and he must deliver a good start with Kusal Mendis and handle the Kiwi fast bowling attack. Kusal Perera, Kamindu Mendis, and Charitha Asalanka make a rock solid. Bhanuka Rajapaksa and Wanindu Hasaranga are good hitters, and the team expects runs from them in the lower middle order.  The bowling attack must use the conditions well for the team to win. Matheesha Pathirana and Nuwan Thushara must get early breakthroughs, as New Zealand has a strong batting lineup. Asitha Fernando and Wanindu Hasaranga will look to keep an eye on the scoring rate in the middle overs. Maheesh Theekshana and Kamindu Mendis must do well in the supporting role. Weather Conditions The skies over Mount Maunganui will have some clouds on December 28. The wicket would be challenging to bat, where the ball will bounce and move. The side that bats first in the game should be happy to score 180 runs or more, with the average first-innings score being 152 runs. NZ vs SL Pitch Report Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, is a happy hunting ground for fast bowlers. They get the ball to seam and swing on this surface. However, the smaller dimensions of the venue also allow batsmen to play their strokes easily. Grass on the track makes it a very challenging place for the spinners to bowl. Toss: To Bowl The conditions will be good for bowling when the ball moves around at the start of the game. We have seen batting getting easier as the game goes on. Hence, the side winning the toss in this game shouldn’t hesitate to bowl first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : New Zealand vs England𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 14 ,​Saturday​​𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 :​ 03:30 AM IST​​​​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Seddon Park, Hamilton, New Zealand𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ 3rd Test 2024 England have won 6 of their last 7 Tests against New Zealand, including two in the ongoing series. New Zealand vs England TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. NZ vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis With the series already in hand, England will aim for a 3-0 whitewash when they face New Zealand in the third and final Test at Hamilton on Saturday. The Kiwis, who stunned India in their previous series, had hoped to mount a strong challenge on home turf. However, England has proven dominant in all facets of the game, securing a commanding 2-0 lead. However, recent form suggests that England have the edge in its encounter. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview After their triumphant series in India, New Zealand had positioned themselves as strong candidates for the WTC finals. But their fortunes took a nosedive at home after they lost the first Tests against England quite comprehensively. With the series now already gone, the Kiwis will look to save face by avoiding a whitewash. The hosts’ batting has been particularly disappointing, with openers Devon Conway and Tom Latham failing to fire, averaging under 25 across their four innings. Conway’s absence in the upcoming game due to injury adds to their woes but has paved the way for Will Young to step in. Young was one of New Zealand’s top performers against India, scoring 244 runs in 6 innings at an average of 49.  England Preview England have been nothing short of masterful on this tour, clinching a series victory in New Zealand for the first time in over 15 years with two thumping wins on the trot.  Harry Brook has been in sensational form (349 runs in 3 innings at an average of 116), leading the run-scoring charts with two centuries and a fifty. He’s been ably supported by Joe Root, Ollie Pope, and Jacob Bethell in the middle order, ensuring a consistent flow of runs.  Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley have provided a solid platform at the top, while captain Ben Stokes adds further depth to an already strong lineup. Weather Conditions Seddon Park in Hamilton, known for its batting-friendly conditions, offers a flat track that generally aids run-scoring, especially in the first two days. The pitch tends to slow down as the match progresses, but there’s usually enough in it for the bowlers by the third or fourth day. Fast bowlers might find some early movement, particularly with the new ball, but overall, it’s a venue where batsmen can play big innings. The outfield is quick, which can help in chasing down totals or accumulating runs quickly. The weather in Hamilton will be very warm in the first two days. The third day will be extremely cloudy while the fourth day might see some showers in the afternoon, which might interrupt the game. The final day of the match will have clear weather. NZ vs ENG Pitch Report The average first innings score at Seddon Park is 310. The average runs per wicket at this venue is 31.77. The team batting first will look to get to a score of around 350-400 runs. Toss: To Bowl Stats show that teams tend to do better when they field first at Seddon Park. So, the captain who wins the toss might choose to bowl.

NZ vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis New Zealand will face a tough challenge as they take on England in the 2nd Test Match of the three-match series. New Zealand had a poor outing in the last game in Christchurch, losing the game by 8 wickets. The Kiwis will look to use the home advantage and level the series as England aims to take an unassailable lead.  New Zealand has enjoyed good form in the last few games. They have a strong batting lineup and enjoy a good record at this venue. Despite their win in the last game, England will be up for a strong challenge. It will be interesting to see if New Zealand can level the series or if England seals it with another confident performance.  TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview Tom Latham and his men would have their backs against the wall in this game. The side must overcome its poor show in the last game and work on its basics. The batting lineup struggled in the last game with its consistency. England will come hard on them, and Latham expects a strong show from his key players.  Devon Conway failed in the last game and must deliver a steady start with Tom Latham. Kane Williamson’s form is good news for the team, and he must add runs in the middle order with Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell. Glenn Phillips and Tom Blundell are good lower-order batsmen and must do well.  England Preview Ben Stokes’ team was under pressure in the last game against a confident New Zealand. However, the team pulled its weight to register a clinical win. The batting lineup did well, and the bowlers were up to the task. Stokes expects a similar show from his team in this game as they aim for an unassailable lead.  Zak Crawley had a poor outing in the last game, and he must improve his show and deliver a steady start with Ben Duckett. Jacob Bethell, Joe Root, and Harry Brook are in good form, making the middle order formidable. The team has depth in the batting and expects a good show from Ollie Pope, Ben Stokes, and Chris Woakes.  Weather Conditions We will have clear skies over Wellington, and the conditions will be good for a game. The wicket will be lively, and fast bowlers will enjoy bowling under the clouds. Batsmen have to play to the merit of the ball. The average first-innings score is 318 runs, and the team batting first will be happy to have 400 runs in the first innings.  NZ vs ENG Pitch Report The pitch at Basin Reserve, Wellington, has a lot for the fast bowlers early on in the game, and batsmen must be watchful on the first two days. Batsmen who play the waiting game have done well at this venue. There isn’t much on this surface for the spinners, and they must use their variations to succeed. Toss: To Bowl In the last five games, the side bowling first has won three times. The wicket has moisture on the first two days, and batting conditions improve as the game progresses. The side winning the toss will look to take advantage of the conditions and won’t hesitate to bowl first.
