The New Zealand vs Pakistan cricket World Cup match on Saturday at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, has taken on the form of an ersatz quarter-final for Pakistan. The Shaheens will be eliminated if they lose and the Aussies beat England in the day-night match later on on Saturday. Read on and we'll show you how to watch New Zealand vs Pakistan live from anywhere with a VPN potentially for FREE.

A New Zealand win will guarantee that the Black Caps finish above Pakistan, with India and South Africa already certain to finish above Pakistan. If that happens, Pakistani cricket fans will no doubt find themselves cheering on bottom-placed England (watch England v Australia) in hopes of a last-minute reprieve.

New Zealand could, in theory, lose both their remaining games yet still qualify; or they could win both but not make the semi-finals. But victory against Pakistan will keep the Black Caps in a top-four spot and then the only team that could dislodge them would be Afghanistan. Afghanistan are currently fifth, equal on points with New Zealand and Australia, but below them in the table due to an inferior net run rate.

So, it's not all over for Pakistan – and New Zealand come in to this match on the back of three successive losses. Here's where to find New Zealand vs Pakistan live streams and watch ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 games from anywhere.

How to watch New Zealand vs Pakistan cricket live streams from anywhere

A VPN, or virtual private network, makes it look as if you're surfing the web from your home country, rather than the one you're in. That means you can access the streaming services you already pay for, from anywhere on Earth. Or anywhere that has an internet connection, at least.

VPNs are totally legal, inexpensive and easy to use. We've tested lots of the best VPN services and our favorite is ExpressVPN. It's fast, works on loads of devices, and even offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're visiting the U.K. and want to view your usual Pakistani stream on PTV Sports, you'd select Pakistan from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action and watch the New Zealand vs Pakistan live stream.

Every game of the 2023 World Cup is being live streamed for free via the Hotstar mobile app (iOS and Android) in India.

If you already subscribe to one of those services but are outside of India right now, you can simply choose one of the best VPN services such as ExpressVPN to follow the World Cup live stream wherever you are are.
