On November 4, the highly anticipated match will take place at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. New Zealand, who had been a fixture near the top of the league standings, is currently fourth with 8 points from 7 games. In the fifth match of this ODI World Cup, New Zealand lost to the hosts, India, ending their undefeated streak. The Black Caps have since lost to Australia as well as South Africa, respectively, and have not been able to win any games in the competition.
As they prepare to play Pakistan (PAK) in the forthcoming World Cup match, New Zealand (NZ) is eager to win after suffering three straight losses. Pakistan on the other hand, need a win in this game to boost their quest for the semi-finals. A win for them would see them equal on the points tally along with the Kiwis. Meanwhile, a loss can see them potentially exit the semi-final race.

M Chinnaswamy Stadium Pitch Report:
Because of its beneficial bounce, the M Chinnaswamy Stadium is known as a batter’s paradise. Additionally, both sides of the boundaries are rather short, allowing batters to execute their strokes freely. When the ball is still fresh during the powerplay, pacers may be quite dangerous. To limit the run flow in the middle overs, spinners might be employed.
