New Zealand Team News & Playing 11
NZ Team News
Reports coming out of the Black Caps’ camp suggest that skipper Kane Williamson will return to action in this game for his first appearance since his injury in the opening game of this year’s IPL. Tim Southee will miss this match as he continues to recover from a fractured thumb.
NZ Key Players
- Devon Conway - The left-handed opener averages 46 in this international format and impressed for Chennai Super Kings during this year’s IPL.
- Glenn Phillips - The middle-order batter is one of the world’s best fielders but his batting has developed over recent months in T20Is and in ODIs.
- Trent Boult - The left-arm quick bowler was far and away New Zealand’s best bowler during the England series and showed he can also operate well in Asian conditions taking 2-33 in Mirpur this week.
NZ Team Form
New Zealand lost their ODI series in England but responded with a 2-0 victory in Bangladesh earlier this month.

Pakistan Team News & Playing 11
PAK Team News
Naseem Shah, the young pace bowler, will be a big miss for Pakistan across this World Cup after he was ruled out with a right-shoulder injury. Leg-spinner Usama Mir is in the squad for the tournament with Hasan Ali a late addition to the squad.
PAK Key Players
- Babar Azam - The skipper ended the Asia Cup with disappointing scores of 17, 10 and 29 but he also hit 151 against Nepal and will be keen to find some form in this match.
- Mohammad Rizwan - Although the keeper-batter does not have the same brilliant record in ODIs as he does in T20Is, he remains a very consistent performer for Pakistan across all formats.
- Shaheen Shah Afridi - The left-arm pace bowler could well be one of the top wicket takers in the World Cup 2023. He is dangerous with both the new and old ball.
PAK Team Form
Pakistan’s Asia Cup campaign came to a disappointing end with successive defeats.
