NZ vs PAK Match Prediction – Who will win today’s World Cup match between New Zealand vs Afghanistan?

Game 35 of the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023 will feature a clash between New Zealand (NZ) and Pakistan (PAK) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore on Saturday, November 4. New Zealand will be coming into the clash on the back of a loss against South Africa, putting in a subpar performance with both bat and ball. New Zealand have failed to win each of their last three games, so it could be interesting to see how they fare against Pakistan.

On the other hand, Babar Azam-led Pakistan will be coming into the clash on the back of a win against Bangladesh. After consecutive losses, the Men in Green finally got back to winning ways, and they will look to continue the run.

Probable best bowler:

Shaheen Afridi (Pakistan)

Ace Pakistan pacer Shaheen Afridi could be the best bowler against New Zealand. Spearheading the Men in Green’s pace attack, Afridi has been in good form. Taking 20 wickets in his last 10 games and having a good performance in the previous game will surely help his confidence.
