#cricket #Pakistancricket #pakvsnz
🔥 Catch the ultimate preview of the PAK vs NZ 1st ODI Tri-Series clash! 🔥
The stage is set at Lahore’s rebuilt Gaddafi Stadium as Pakistan and New Zealand lock horns in a high-stakes opener to the 2025 ODI Tri-Series. With the ICC Champions Trophy just days away, both teams are eyeing this match as critical preparation
Key Highlights:
✅ Babar Azam’s New Role: Pakistan’s star batter steps up as opener, replacing the injured Saim Ayub. Will he thrive in this unfamiliar ODI position?
✅ Lockie Ferguson’s Pace Threat: The Kiwi speedster is one wicket away from 100 ODI scalps and could exploit Pakistan’s middle-order vulnerability to pace
✅ Pitch & Conditions: A flat batting track with extra bounce for pacers, but evening dew might challenge spinners. Overcast skies and cool temps (15-20°C) expected
✅ Form Guide: Pakistan rides a 5-match ODI winning streak, while NZ seeks redemption after a shaky subcontinent record
✅ Head-to-Head: Pakistan dominates at home (22 wins vs NZ’s 6), but the Kiwis aim to reverse their 2023 4-1 series loss
Probable XIs:
🇵🇰 Pakistan: Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan (C/WK), Saud Shakeel, Salman Agha, Khushdil Shah, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, Abrar Ahmed.
🇳🇿 New Zealand: Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Kane Williamson, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner (C), Lockie Ferguson, Matt Henry, Will O’Rourke
