New Zealand Team News & Playing 11
Martin Guptill and Kane Williamson have looked in good touch in this series and they will be the key figures in this batting line-up. Colin Munro and Colin de Grandhomme both smashed match-winning fifties in the last game and showed why they are so dangerous in limited overs cricket. With Trent Boult rested for this match, the Kiwis will turn to Tim Southee (8 wickets in 4 matches) for taking the early wickets. Ben Wheeler, who has replaced Boult in the squad, is expected to get a game here and the left-arm seamer could be quite a threat for the Pakistani batsmen.

Pakistan Team News & Playing 11
Fakhar Zaman scored 82* in the first game at this ground and then struck another fifty last time. Pakistan will want him to continue with his good form. Mohammad Hafeez is their leading run-getter and he has been a vital cog in the middle order. Hasan Ali has been the most impressive bowler on this tour with six wickets and he will be the key in this Pakistani pace attack. Shadab Khan claimed three wickets at Hamilton and the leg-spinner will be expected to deliver a good performance again.

New Zealand vs Pakistan 5th ODI Betting Odds
New Zealand, after putting up dominant performances in the first four games, start off as clear favorites amongst the bookmakers to win the fifth one-day international. The hosts are priced at very short odds of 1.35 on Betfair, 1.28 on Bet365 and 1.30 on Betway. Pakistan have played well only in bits and pieces but overall they are struggling in these conditions with both bat and ball. The tourists are unsurprisingly distant outsiders for this match at high odds of 3.3 on Betfair, 3.75 on Bet365 and 3.50 on Betway.
New Zealand vs Pakistan 5th ODI Prediction
Pakistan will feel disheartened as they lost the last match even after having the Kiwis by the scruff of their neck. In the first three games, it was their batting that let them down but it was their bowling in the later stages at Hamilton that cost them the game. New Zealand recorded a comfortable 61-run victory (D/L method) when the two teams met at Wellington in the first ODI. And that was their sixth win in the last eight completed ODIs at this venue. So the hosts have done very well here of late and we predict them to extend their good record and complete a 5-0 clean sweep of Pakistan.
Final Verdict: Back New Zealand to beat Pakistan in the fifth ODI at 1.35 on betfair, 1.28 on bet365 and 1.30 on Betway.
