New Zealand Tri-Series 2022: NZ vs PAK Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match?

New Zealand will square off against Pakistan in the fourth match of the ongoing tri-series on the 11th of October as we head to its business end. The hosts plummeted Bangladesh in their previous outing to make a quick recovery following their loss against the Men in Green in their opening fixture. 

Meanwhile, Pakistan are sitting handsomely at the summit with two wins in two so far in the triangular series. Babar Azam's side looks more settled in their approach with the bowling and batting coming good just at the right time for the Subcontinent side.

The Kiwis will be eyeing revenge after their earlier loss against the same opposition after thrashing Bangladesh.

With a bit of movement on offer for the new ball bowlers, the team winning the toss will be inclined to bowl first after winning the toss, given the potency in their bowling ranks.

NZ vs PAK Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter

Mohammad Rizwan:

There is no stopping Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan at the moment, as the wicketkeeper-batter is churning out runs for fun in the shortest format. He is the leading run-scorer in T20Is this year and recently bagged the ICC's Player of the Month award.

Probable best bowler

Haris Rauf:

Haris Rauf has become one of the first names on the team sheet for the Men in Green as the pacer continues to dominate games with the ball in hand. With four wickets to his name in his two outings in the series so far, the tearaway pacer will be looking to add to his impressive tally in the upcoming fixture.
