NZ vs PAK Preview

New Zealand will be keen to leave the disappointment from the last edition behind them by putting up a great show in India. They are coming to the competition with a 2-1 win over Bangladesh. However, they were defeated comfortably 1-3 by England. The Blackcaps will look to do better and like every edition, they will be eager to surprise stronger sides than them.

Pakistan is an unpredictable side. While they were looking like the most secure side in the world ahead of the World Cup, a loss to India in the Asia Cup shattered them to the core. Furthermore, the early Asia Cup exit dented Pakistan’s prospects in the World Cup. The Men in Green will take the warm-ups as an opportunity to get back together and find their groove for the main draw.
