ICC World Cup 2023: New Zealand vs Pakistan- Match Preview, Odds, and Predictions on Betadda

This match-up between New Zealand and Pakistan should be an exciting showdown between teams, on 4th November, at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, from 10: 30 AM IST.

While Pakistan boasts a strong fast-bowling line-up and resilient top order, New Zealand has a battery of power hitters in their batting line-up and a formidable pace attack. 

Pitch Report – The M Chinnaswamy Stadium is favoured by many cricket players, thanks to its relatively small size which allows for powerful hits. Additionally, the typical humidity of the evening session tends to give a slight edge to the team batting last.

Players Face-Off – Babar Azam of Pakistan is an outstanding batsman who has scored an amazing 5625 runs in just 115 matches. His first opponent will be New Zealand’s Trent Boult, who has a formidable record of 207 wickets in a mere 111 matches.
