PAK vs NZ 5th ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips
Pakistan and New Zealand face off for the tenth and final time on this tour in the fifth ODI on Sunday afternoon. The T20I series was shared 2-2 but Pakistan have won every one of the ODIs and are looking to confirm a 5-0 victory. Read on as we preview this final match of the ODI series. This day-night contest gets underway at 15:30 local time in Karachi.
Pakistan showed their strength in depth by making changes to their team and still winning by a big margin in Friday’s game. They will be very confident of ending the series with one more victory.
New Zealand have been able to be competitive during games but player for player they are unable to really put Pakistan under pressure. They will all need to be at their best to win this game.

Pakistan Team News & Playing 11
PAK Team News
With the series already decided ahead of the fourth ODI, Pakistan made changes including the return to the team of Iftikhar Ahmed, Mohammad Haris and Shan Masood. We expect those three players to be picked once more for this final game of the series.
PAK Key Players
- Babar Azam- the skipper has been threatening to hit a big score in this series and he brought up three figures for the first time in the series on Friday.
- Usama Mir- the 27 year old leg-spinner went wicketless and conceded 66 runs when he played in Rawalpindi earlier in the series. However, he took 4-43 in the fourth ODI.
- Haris Rauf- the right-arm pace bowler came back into the team after being rested for the third ODI and picked up the key wickets of Tom Blundell and James Neesham on Friday.
PAK Team Form
Not only have Pakistan won all four games in this series but they were brilliant in Friday’s match when they won by 102 runs.

NZ Team News
Tom Blundell took on wicket-keeping duties from skipper Tom Latham and replaced Chad Bowes at the top of the order in the fourth ODI. Ben Lister and Blair Tickner both came back into the team and we expect them both to be selected again on Sunday.
NZ Key Players
- Daryl Mitchell- although he has not reached a half-century in either of the last two innings, the 31 year old all-rounder kicked off the series with two centuries.
- Tom Latham- the skipper has made scores of 98, 45 and 60 from his last three ODI innings. He has the patience to compile a long innings.
- Matt Henry- the experienced quick bowler has been New Zealand’s standout performer with the ball in the last two games and enjoys bowling in Karachi.
NZ Team Form
New Zealand never expected to win this series but they will be very disappointed to have lost all four ODIs in this series so far.
New Zealand Predicted Playing 11
Will Young, Tom Blundell (wk), Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham (c), Mark Chapman, Henry Nicholls, , Cole McConchie, Ben Lister, Blair Tickner, Ish Sodhi, Matt Henry

Who will win Pakistan vs New Zealand 5th ODI Match?
In some ways it is impressive that New Zealand were able to remain close to Pakistan in a couple of the earlier games as overall, the visitors squad is far less superior than the home squad in this format.
🏆 Pakistan vs New Zealand Prediction
Great credit should be given to New Zealand for proceeding with this entire tour in spite of having eight or nine of their best players unavailable. And as was to be expected, they have been second best through most of the tour although they have shown plenty of character. Once again we are anticipating New Zealand to keep pace with Pakistan for certain periods of the game but ultimately they are the lesser side with bat and ball. Our prediction is for another Pakistan victory to end the series.
