In the history of the World Cup, New Zealand have managed only two wins while losing seven times against Pakistan. In the 2019 edition, Pakistan prevailed by five wickets courtesy of an unbeaten knock of 101 (127) runs from Babar Azam.

New Zealand are coming into the clash with three consecutive defeats to India, Australia and South Africa. They are placed fourth on the points table with four wins from seven matches. To seal a semi-final berth, a victory against Pakistan should suffice, owing to their superior net run-rate of 0.484.

Meanwhile, Pakistan’s teetering campaign has got a new lease of life following the recent slump in the form of the Blackcaps. They will eye for the fourth spot with a big win over their rivals. The 1992 champions have won three out of their seven outings so far.

If they topple New Zealand by a margin of either 84 runs or chase down a target with 15 overs to spare, they have a chance to pip their opponents from the fourth place to enter the semi-finals.
