New Zealand vs Pakistan Playing 11, World Cup 2023: Match 35 of the ICC World Cup 2023 will see New Zealand and Pakistan collide in a tournament-defining clash at the M Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday (November 4).

New Zealand's three consecutive defeats have opened up chances for other teams to catch them up, and Pakistan are in the most advanced position to cash in and perhaps resurrect their campaign. This is a huge lifeline for Babar Azam and his team, who will be desperate to get a victory and thus give themselves a real chance to qualify for the semifinals.

Matt Henry is also injured and he has been replaced by Kyle Jamieson in the Kiwis squad.

Pakistan got a big victory over Bangladesh in the last match and will be hopeful of sticking with the same team for this New Zealand clash. Fakhar Zaman looks set to keep his place after scoring a fantastic 81, while Mohammad Wasim Jr also had a successful outing with three wickets.
