PAK vs NZ 4th ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips
With Pakistan having already secured the series, they go head to head with New Zealand in the fourth out of five ODIs on Friday afternoon. Pakistan went 3-0 up with a 26 run victory at the National Stadium on Wednesday which put the series out of reach for New Zealand. Read on as we preview the fourth game of the series. This day-night ODI begins at 15:30 in Karachi.
Pakistan have been exceptional with both bat and ball during this series and have been a level above New Zealand throughout. They will now be targeting a 5-0 series win.
New Zealand needed 61 runs with four wickets remaining on Wednesday but ultimately their tail was unable to produce enough runs. We expect them to put up another fighting performance in this match.

PAK vs NZ Match Toss Prediction
Both teams have chosen to field first throughout this series and, although there could be a temptation to test themselves batting first, we predict that both will want to field first if they win the toss.
PAK vs NZ Pitch Report
Although there is turn on this wicket, it is far more conducive to the pace bowlers in Karachi. A minimum score when batting first will be 275+.
Karachi Weather Report
Just as we saw during the third game of the series, we expect plenty of sunshine and warm conditions during Friday’s game and the temperature reaching 32 degrees.

Pakistan Team News & Playing 11
PAK Team News
Just like there were ahead of the second ODI, Pakistan made three changes before the third ODI with Shadab Khan, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Mohammad Wasim returning to the team in place of Usama Mir, Ihsanullah and Haris Rauf. We expect Rauf to come back into the team for this match.
PAK Key Players
- Fakhar Zaman- although the opening batter failed to make it four successive centuries in this format, he remains the batter in the best ODI form in this Pakistan side.
- Babar Azam- once again, the captain is delivering consistent runs for his country. He will be keen to turn his contribution into a century in this game.
- Haris Rauf- after being rested for Wednesday’s clash, we expect the quick bowler, who has been too good for New Zealand on this tour, to be fully refreshed ahead of this game.
PAK Team Form
A win in this game will see Pakistan make it four in a row and put them 4-0 up in this series which they have dominated.

There was an encouraging performance on ODI debut from Cole McConchie on Wednesday who hit 64 not out and took 1-46. He may well be pushed up the order in this game. There are no injury worries across the squad ahead of this match.
NZ Key Players
- Daryl Mitchell- the batting all-rounder looked set for another big score before being dismissed for 21 from 24 in the third ODI. He has been in strong form for over two years in international cricket.
- Tom Latham- the captain will be disappointed after losing his wicket when on 45 runs on Wednesday. He has been a consistent source of runs across this series.
- Matt Henry- the 31 year old right-arm fast medium bowler picked up the wickets of Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam and Agha Salman in the last game.

Who will win Pakistan vs New Zealand 4th ODI Match?
Once again, New Zealand will battle hard and push Pakistan all the way in this game but ultimately they do not have the same level of players with bat or ball in this series to cause Pakistan real problems.
🏆 Pakistan vs New Zealand Prediction
During the second innings of the third ODI, it looked like New Zealand could pull off their run-chase and stay in the series but ultimately the pace and skill of Shaheen Shah Afridi was too much for the lower order. Our prediction for this game is a slightly slower wicket but with Pakistan’s greater ability with the bat and ball to be crucial. We are backing Pakistan to win and go 4-0 up with one to play.
