NZL vs PAK: Pitch Report
The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is renowned for its pitch that favours batsmen, a fact that is likely to significantly influence the upcoming NZ vs PAK match. The stadium's relatively small boundaries are a dream for batsmen, presenting them with numerous chances to clear the ropes. Historical data from 28 ODI matches at this venue shows an almost equal distribution of victories between teams batting first and second, with 12 wins for the former, and 13 for the latter, along with one tie and two matches that didn't produce a result. The scores here have seen a vast range, with a high of 383 and a low of 168. Spin bowlers often struggle here due to the stadium's dimensions, while batsmen enjoy the consistent bounce and the quick travel of the ball on the surface. The presence of evening dew typically tilts the favour towards batting second. With these factors in mind, both teams may consider opting to field first if they win the toss in this vital matchup.
NZL vs PAK: Head-To-Head ODI Record
New Zealand and Pakistan have locked horns in 115 ODI matches. Of these encounters, New Zealand has emerged victorious 51 times, while Pakistan has secured wins in 60 matches. There have been 3 instances where the matches could not reach a conclusion, and 1 match concluded in a tie. Within the context of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, the two teams have met 9 times. In these World Cup clashes, New Zealand has claimed 2 victories, with Pakistan winning 7 times.
