Match 4 of the New Zealand Men’s Tri-Nation Series sees New Zealand meet Pakistan for the second time in four days. The hosts lost against Pakistan on Friday but beat Bangladesh on Sunday. Pakistan have won both of their matches so far. Read on as we preview Tuesday afternoon’s game. This match begins at the Hagley Oval, Christchurch at 15:00 local time.
New Zealand were extremely impressive against Bangladesh on Sunday and will carry confidence into this game. They will be looking to get revenge for Saturday’s loss in this match and have the players to do so.
Pakistan have been the best side across the first three matches in this series but they can be inconsistent. They will need to maintain their high levels from Friday and Saturday if they are to win again in this game.

PAK Team News
After their 21 run victory over Bangladesh on Friday, Pakistan kept the same team for Saturday’s clash with New Zealand. Although there will be a temptation to make changes and give other players opportunities, the side selected on Friday and Saturday looks to be the strongest available at the current time.
PAK Key Players
- Mohammad Rizwan - The keeper-batter made a 12-ball four on Saturday and will be keen to get back to contributing for his side. He is number one in the IT20 batting rankings.
- Babar Azam - The skipper put in a fine performance with the bat in the last match. His 79 not out was his 30th score of 50+ in this format.
- Haris Rauf - With Shaheen Shah Afridi missing the recent IT20 series through injury, Rauf has stepped up and become the leader of the attack. He picked up three wickets in the 19th over of the innings on Saturday.
PAK Team Form
After losing the final two games in the series against England, Pakistan have started this series with consecutive wins.
Pakistan Predicted Playing 11

This should be another excellent clash between two of the best short format sides in the world. A win for Pakistan will confirm their place in Friday’s final but we would be surprised if they manage to beat New Zealand in this match. We are backing New Zealand to win this game.
