πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :​​​​​​New Zealand vs Pakistan ​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 05, Saturdayπ“πˆπŒπ„ : 03:30 AM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, New Zealand π“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ : 3rd ODI 2025 Pakistan’s tour of New Zealand comes to an end with the ODI series already out of reach! Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals 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 This has been a one-sided tour and a one-sided series and it could well be that the thoughts within the Pakistan squad are something along the lines of “when can we get back home?” One can only imagine what the scoreline in this series could have been if the Indian Premier League was not underway and other key players for New Zealand were available. Even when playing nowhere near their potential at times, the Black Caps have been able to sweep Pakistan aside many times across the last few weeks. It was an 84 run victory for the Black Caps in Hamilton last time out but it could have been even more embarrassing for Pakistan if Naseem Shah, who came into the game as a concussion sub, hit 51, the second highest ODI score from a number 11 in history! TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview The last game in Hamilton was a special one for keeper-batter Mitchell Hay with the 24 year old hitting his highest score in ODI cricket but finishing unbeaten and one run short of a century! It was a crucial knock as New Zealand had looked in a spot of bother on 132/5 but once again they proved that they have more than capable batters throughout their order and were able to post a total which Pakistan never looked getting remotely near. The Black Caps still have the likes of Henry Nicholls and Daryl Mitchell in the upper middle order and we expect one of them to go big in this match. Pakistan Preview Although Pakistan’s bowling attack produced some encouraging moments and figures in the second ODI, their top order completely let the side down and the experienced names in the batting line-up must stand up and be counted or else the tourists will be returning home with a 3-0 ODI series defeat. All of Abdullah Shafique, Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Agha failed to get out of single figures with Agha’s strike-rate of 60.00 the only one above 33.33! It will take a huge improvement to get this team firing again in this match and it will have to come from one of these five experienced players. With the ball, Haris Rauf is likely to miss out due to concussion with Faheem Ashraf and Akif Javed expected to take on the attack leader mantle with the new ball. Weather Conditions There is a large amount of rain forecast in Mount Maunganui during Friday but the outlook for Saturday is for sunny spells throughout and the temperature in the mid-twenties. NZ vs PAK Pitch Report Like many of the other ground used in this series and tour, there will be assistance for the quick bowlers. When batting, players will need to get in and acclimatise to the conditions but must keep the scoreboard ticking along or else they will get stuck! A par score will be around 320-330 in the first innings. Toss: To Bowl Each of the last three ODIs at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui have been won by the team chasing so we predict that both teams will look to bowl first in this contest.

πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :​​​​ New Zealand vs Pakistan𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 02, Wednesday π“πˆπŒπ„ : 03:30 AM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Seddon Park, Hamilton, New Zealandβ€‹π“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ : 2nd ODI 2025 Return of Rizwan and Babar Still Sees New Zealand on Top! 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 After a very one-sided T20I series, there was plenty of hope from not just fans of Pakistan cricket but also cricket watchers across the globe that the ODIs would be a more competitive affair. This seemed a likely proposition as Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan were joining up with the Pakistan squad but they were unable to turn the results around and the pair will need to go up another level in this game to bring the series level. Without Shaheen Shah Afridi, Pakistan’s bowlers impressed in the opening game in Napier but ultimately the ten overs from Salman Aghan and Irfan Khan cost 118 runs and the tourists must find a way of filling that fifth bowler gap with a more competitive option. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview New Zealand have been a strong side at home across all formats for many years and they got themselves out of a potentially sticky situation in the last game when they found themselves 50/3 but then kicked on to post 344/9. Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell and Muhammad Abbas were key to turning the innings around and they could well do the same from four, five and six in the order if the top three of Will Young, Nick Kelly and Henry Nicholls fall early once more. Champan comes into this game after hitting 132 on Saturday, his highest ever ODI score and he will be looking forward to taking on the Pakistan bowlers once again after making 94 in the third T20I. Pakistan Preview Pakistan may have been beaten once again on this tour of New Zealand in the opening ODI on Saturday, but there were at least positives to take from the top five in their batting order who did give the team some hope. Equally, it shows just how much pressure there is on the top five as Pakistan were 249/3 during the 39th over in pursuit of 345 before one of the great collapses occurred and they were bowled out for 271! Babar Azam was the first wicket to fall during this flurry of wickets and he will be key after he top scored with 78 runs from 83 balls. Along with Abdullah Shafique, Rizwan and Salman Agha, those four hold the key with the bat. With the ball, Haris Rauf was the most impressive with 2/38 but it is Irfan Khan who will be the leading wicket taker for Pakistan in the series ahead of this ODI. Weather Conditions The forecast suggests that there will be some cloudy spells but also some sunshine poking through across the day. The temperature will be in the mid-low twenties throughout although there could be a rise in humidity levels across the final 5-10 overs. NZ vs PAK Pitch Report Seddon Park is a great venue for ODI cricket and the last game in this format back in January saw scores of 255/9 take on 142 all out. We expect something similar in terms of the bowlers being in the contest and a par score of no more than 300. Toss: To Bat Three of the last four ODIs here at Seddon Park, Hamilton have been won by the team batting first. Therefore, our prediction is that both teams will want to bat first ahead of the game.

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 won the T20I series 4-1 and were dominant across all four of their victories, proving to be way too strong for Pakistan in home conditions. Most pundits expect the hosts to be too strong once again in this ODI series but they should have tougher contests with the two top Pakistan players from this generation – Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam returning to the side. However, the ‘Men in Green’ will be without Haris Rauf and Shaheen Shah Afridi, arguably two of their top pace bowling options, who have not been selected in the squad for this leg of the tour. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview As with the T20Is, New Zealand will not be at full strength but they will still be able to put out a team full of talent and with plenty of experience in these home conditions in Napier. However, there is no place for keeper-batter Tim Seifert who top scored for New Zealand in the successful five-match T20I series earlier this month. In his place, we can expect the likes of captain Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman and Daryl Mitchell to be the main run-scorers in this first ODI with Bracewell, along with Jacob Duffy and Will O’Rourke spearheading the bowling attack. Consistent opener Will Young had been added to the squad but he has since pulled out due to paternity leave and Rhys Mariu is chomping at the bit to get his opportunity at international level for the first time. Pakistan Preview Most ODI sides in the world would benefit from the skills and consistency that Babar Azam and captain Mohammad Rizwan bring to a team and Pakistan will be no different in this game. However, Babar has not been in great form, being dismissed in the 20s in both of his last games but he did at least hit 64 runs against New Zealand in his last but one innings in this format. With Haris Rauf and Shaheen Shah Afridi vacating the scene, this game gives plenty of opportunities for some of the fringe players to make a name for themseves in this series. Pakistan do have the ability to win this game but it is their recent form across all formats which will be the most worrying. Weather Conditions There could be a short sharp shower at one stage in the early afteroon, but overall it will be very warm throughout this game in Napier on Saturday. NZ vs PAK Pitch Report Napier has always been one of those grounds where scoring runs is not all that difficult. The overhead conditions should make it more comfortable for the top order to contribute throughout the innings but we still expect to see New Zealand come out on top! Toss: To Bowl With plenty of opportunity for batting over the three ODIs, we predict that both teams will want to bat first ahead of this opening ODI of the series and try to bat the other team out of the game.

πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :​ New Zealand vs Pakistan ​​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : March 23, Sunday π“πˆπŒπ„ : 11:45 AM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, New Zealand π“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ : 4th T20 2025 A brilliant performance from Hasan Nawaz has brought this T20I series to life ahead of Sunday’s fourth game. 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 Many pundits and cricket followers had written this series off after New Zealand raced into a 2-0 lead but Friday’s contest in Auckland which saw Pakistan win by nine wickets with 24 balls remaining has thrown the five-game series into the open! New Zealand will now host Pakistan in Mount Maunganui where they have the second opportunity to seal the series. Pakistan won the game on Friday thanks to one incredible batting innings after they had conceded over 200 runs in the field, so they will need to work on their bowling in this match as it may not be possible to dominate the New Zealand bowlers again. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview New Zealand came off the pitch after the end of the first innings in Auckland looking like the series was already in the bag after they posted 204. But they were in for a rude awakening courtesy of Hasan Nawaz so we can expect a focused Black Caps for this game as they look to finish the series once again. Mark Chapman hit 94 runs from 44 balls on Friday and there were impressive attacking displays from Tim Seifert, Daryl Mitchell and Michael Bracewell. Finn Allen hit a three-ball duck but he is equally capable of smashing a very quick hundred in this clash. Jacob Duffy was the only New Zealand bowler to pick up a wicket in the third T20I and the team management must find a new approach to bowling at Hasan Nawaz. Pakistan Preview Ahead of this series, many pundits looked at Pakistan’s squad and though the only way they could be successful in this series was via their experienced batters or through their key pace bowl duo of Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf. However, it was 22 year old right-hander Hasan Nawaz, who had been dismissed for a duck in both of the first two games of the series who stepped up and smashed 105 not out to take the Player of the Match Award and win the game for the Men in Green. Confidence should be high in the camp ahead of this game but they will need similar performances across the team if they are to level the series after Sunday’s clash. Weather Conditions The forecast is for some sunny spells interspersed with some sunshine in Mount Maunganui on Sunday. The temperature will be in the mid-twenties with humidity around 50% from start to finish. NZ vs PAK Pitch Report The Bay Oval has hosted plenty of exciting T20I contests in the past and the pitch generally delivers a good surface for batting. That said, there will be turn for the spinners and the ball will deviate for the pacers as well. A par score is likely to be around 180. Toss: To Bowl After seeing how Pakistan were able to chase down a target of 200+ on Friday, we predict that both teams will want to chase in this game on Sunday in Mount Maunganui.

πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :​ ​New Zealand vs Pakistan𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : March 16, Sundayπ“πˆπŒπ„ : 06:45 AM IST​​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Hagley Oval, Christchurch, New Zealand π“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ : 1st T20 2025 Preparation for the 2026 T20 World Cup begins as New Zealand host Pakistan in the first of five T20Is. 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 With the ICC Champions Trophy in the past, and the Indian Premier League about to begin, the start of this New Zealand versus Pakistan series will capture the imagination of top-level cricket-hungry fans across the globe. Beginning on Sunday afternoon at Hagley Oval in Christchurch, this game will be well attended with supporters of both sides likely to be making themselves heard! Both teams will not be at their strongest with players either making themselves unavailable for the series, resting,  or in the case of some New Zealanders, raring to go in the IPL. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview Although the likes of Kane Williamson, Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner, Devon Conway, Will Young and Matt Henry, all of who were involved in New Zealand’s run to the final of the Champions Trophy, will not be in the team for the Black Caps on Sunday, they can still put out a side of recognisable names and full of talent. Leading the charge with the bat will be Finn Allen who recovered from an awful run of scores early in the Big Bash League to show his quality and the experienced keeper-batter Tim Seifert is an accomplished player in this format. The middle order of Daryl Mitchell, Mark Chapman and Michael Bracewell are all very strong internationals with the latter captaining the team and also a very strong spinner. Ish Sodhi, Ben Sears and Jacob Duffy make up a quality bowling attack with James Neesham capable of delivering in both innings! Pakistan Preview Any Pakistan side without Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam is one which will not look as strong on paper. And that is certainly the case for this Pakistan team in this opening T20I. Without the big names, there is an opportunity for the likes of Usman Khan to show off his attacking batting skills as well as his talents behind the stumps with the gloves. Salman Agha will captain the side and has a strong record across all formats of late. He will be assisted by vice-captain Shadab Khan who can be inconsistent but is also a match-winner on his day. Pakistan’s strongest suit in this game will undoubtedly be in their bowling attack. Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf both have experience and all the skills and will fancy their chances against this New Zealand top order. Weather Conditions The forecast is for an excellent day in Christchurch throughout Sunday afternoon and into the early evening. Expect the temperature to peak at 27 degrees. NZ vs PAK Pitch Report The pitch in Christchurch can sometimes be a little green at the start of multi-day games but we expect to see a dry and bare surface for this game. A par score is likely to be approaching 200. Toss: To Bowl With six of the last eight T20I games in Christchurch won by the team chasing, we expect both captains to be fairly sure of their decision which we predict will be to bowl first if they win the toss.
