New Zealand vs Pakistan: preview
Having led the way for much of the early stages of the Cricket World Cup, 4th-placed New Zealand are now in freefall and 5th-placed Pakistan could be the beneficiaries as they meet in an effective four-pointer at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore on Saturday. The outcome could completely alter the complexion of the top four race.
The Black Caps looked like a shoo-in for the knockouts when they kicked off the tournament with four wins, but a run of three straight defeats, the latest a 190-run battering at the hands of South Africa, have dropped them into the heart of a five-way shootout. The Shaheens have been streakier, winning their first two and losing their next four, before bouncing back by thrashing Bangladesh in midweek.
It was the first time their vaunted three-pronged pace attack of Shaheen Shah Afridi – who claimed his 100th ODI wicket – Mohammad Wasim and Haris Rauf really hit their groove, but it's Pakistan's batting performance that's likely to prove crucial against the Kiwis.
Just as (a very rusty) Tim Southee made his return from a fractured thumb, New Zealand have lost Matt Henry, their top wicket-taker in ODI cricket this year, to a hamstring injury. Despite nursing an achilles issue, Lockie Ferguson is set to feature on Saturday, partly out of sheer desperation.
