Pitch Report: McLean Park's surface is generally batting-friendly, offering true bounce and pace. Fast bowlers might enjoy some early movement with the new ball. As the match progresses, spinners may find turn, making chasing slightly challenging. The venue has witnessed 26 wins by the bowling-first side out of 49 ODIs.
After a tough T20 series, Pakistan will look to reset in the ODIs. With Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan anchoring the batting, Pakistan's middle order will also rely on contributions from Agha Salman and Khushdil Shah. On the bowling front, the pace duo of Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah will be key.
New Zealand will count on their balanced squad. Michael Bracewell, who captains the side, has been in excellent form and will be crucial with both bat and ball. Additionally, the consistent performances of Daryl Mitchell and rising talents like Jacob Duffy further strengthen the Kiwis.
