PAK vs NZ Cricket Betting Tips, 1st ODI Pakistan vs New Zealand Live Score

PAK vs NZ Prediction: New Zealand will make its first tour of Pakistan in 18 years. The two sides will lock horns in three ODI games and five T20Is. Pakistan were trounced by a second-string England side 3-0 in their last ODI series. New Zealand, on the other hand, are coming off a first T20 series defeat against Bangladesh. The Kiwis are missing some key stars because of the IPL. Both teams will be looking to take an early lead in the first ODI to be played at Rawalpindi. Babar Azam will lead the home side while Tom Latham will skipper the Black Caps.

PAK vs NZ Dream11 Prediction

Babar Azam has been Pakistan’s batting mainstay for years now. He has a good record against the Kiwis. Babar hit a scintillating hundred in his previous ODI against the Kiwis at Edgbaston in Birmingham. Overall, he has 3985 runs in 81 innings at an incredible average of 56.9.

Shadab Khan can contribute with both and ball. The Black Caps struggled against spin in Bangladesh and Shadab’s leg-spin can come in handy. He has 434 runs and 62 wickets in 48 matches.

Tom Latham is the most experienced campaigner in the Kiwi lineup. He will be looking to lead from the front. The Black Caps batting will revolve around him. He has 2824 runs in 94 innings at an average of 34.0.
