PAK Playing 11 for Pakistan vs New Zealand 5th ODI Match; Top Picks, Fantasy Cricket Tips for PAK vs NZ Dream11 Team Prediction

On 7th May, Sunday, the National Cricket Stadium in Karachi will host the fifth and final match of the ODI series between Pakistan and New Zealand. The match is scheduled to start at 4:00 PM IST.

In the fourth ODI, Pakistan emerged as victors and took the lead in the five-match series. Their captain’s century helped them post a massive total of 334, with Babar Azam and Agha Salman providing a strong foundation, and Shaheen Afridi and Mohammed Haris finishing the innings with a flourish. Usama Mir and Mohammed Wasim were the picks of the bowlers for Pakistan, with four and three wickets respectively.

New Zealand struggled in both the bowling and batting departments. With the exception of Matt Henry, none of the bowlers looked threatening. While chasing the target, New Zealand lost early wickets, but Tom Latham’s gritty knock of 60 off 76 balls and Mark Chapman’s promising 46 gave them some hope. However, they lost their way after these two fell, and eventually got bowled out for 232.

This fifth and final ODI is crucial for both teams, as Pakistan will aim to seal the series with another win, while New Zealand will be looking to level the series and salvage some pride. It promises to be an exciting encounter, and fans from both sides will be eagerly looking forward to it.
