Pakistan vs New Zealand, 4th ODI: Head-to-Head and other key stats

Pakistan and New Zealand are set to lock horns in the fourth match of their five-match ODI series at the prestigious National Stadium in Karachi on May 5, 2023. Pakistan are leading the series 3-0, they won the 1st ODI against New Zealand, the visitors were restricted to a below-par total of 288/7 in the 50 overs. Chasing the target, Pakistan started off brilliantly, their top three took the game away from New Zealand. Imam-ul-Haq and Babar Azam led the way for the hosts in the third ODI, both registering crucial half-centuries to help their team set a competitive target for the visitors. Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Wasim Jr., Naseem Shah did brilliantly with the ball for Pakistan, each picking up two wickets to help their team win the series.

New Zealand will be hoping to bounce back and end the series on a high in the last two games. New Zealand’s bowling has been below par in this series with most of their first-choice players missing from the team. There is a fair amount of inexperience in their bowling lineup as Blair Tickner, Henry Shipley and Rachin Ravindra haven’t had a lot of international games under their belt. The senior bowlers featuring the likes of Matt Henry, Ish Sodhi and Adam Milne, need put in a strong performance against this impressive-looking Pakistan unit. We are all set for another mouth-watering encounter at the National Stadium in Karachi.

Pitch

The Pitch at the National Stadium in Karachi has been a belter over the years, the ball comes onto the bat very well and the batters enjoy batting at this venue. This venue has produced plenty of high-scoring contests in the 2023 season of the PSL and the recently concluded T20I series between Pakistan and New Zealand. A typical hot summer’s day in Karachi with the afternoon temperatures likely to be in the late 30s. Evenings should be cooler in comparison.
