PAK vs NZ Betting Tips
Pakistan have a high performing top order in their batting line-up. We are backing captain Babar Azam to be the home team’s highest run scorer in this match. With the ball, Haris Rauf has taken 13 wickets in ODIs this year. He is our tip for Pakistan’s top wicket taker in this opening ODI.
New Zealand’s captain Tom Latham was the top run scorer from both sides in the recent IT20 series in Bangladesh. He is a strong bet for New Zealand’s highest run scorer against Pakistan. Ajaz Patel is yet to make his ODI debut but was in excellent form in Bangladesh and is our recommendation for New Zealand's top wicket taker in this match.
We expect the performances of the two captains to be crucial to their team’s chance in this game. Our prediction is for Babar Azam to take the Player of The Match Award.

Pakistan vs New Zealand 1st ODI Prediction & Betting Tips
Pakistan and New Zealand meet in the opening ODI on Friday afternoon local time at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi. Pakistan’s last cricket match in this format came against England in early July when they lost 3-0. New Zealand have not played ODI cricket since March. Read on as we preview this day-night ODI. The game begins at 14:30 local time.
Pakistan were well beaten by England’s back-up ODI side in England back in July but will rightly fancy their chances against this New Zealand team in Pakistan.
Apart from Ben Sears, who is only available for the IT20s, New Zealand have the same squad from their 3-2 IT20 defeat in Bangladesh. They were hard to beat and will be competitive in this match also.

PAK vs NZ Match Toss Prediction
With an inexperienced bowling line-up, we expect Tom Latham to choose to bat first in this match. Our expectation is that Babar Azam would choose to field first in Rawalpindi.
PAK vs NZ Pitch Report
The last game in Rawalpindi ended in a tie with both Pakistan and Zimbabwe hitting 278. Any score above 300 should be a very competitive total to defend.
Weather Report
Sunny with a high of 34 degrees at the start of this day-night ODI.
Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds, and match prediction for Pakistan vs New Zealand 1st ODI
After being whitewashed by England back in July, Pakistan will be very grateful to be back on home soil and are at full strength for this opening ODI. They have a very strong batting line-up with plenty of match winners in the bowling department at the ready.
PAK Key Players
Babar Azam - The multi-format captain hit 125 in the last ODI in Rawalpindi and will be looking to add to his 14 ODI centuries in this match.
Imam-ul-Haq - The opener has taken international cricket by storm since October 2017. He has an average of 49.34 from 46 ODIs.
Haris Rauf - After making his ODI debut in January 2020, Pakistan’s in-form fast bowler has taken wickets in all but one of his ODI appearances in 2021.
PAK Team Form
Pakistan’s form in this format is poor but they are a much stronger side on home soil and will not be daunted by this opening ODI.
Pakistan Predicted Playing 11
Imam-ul-Haq, Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Hasan Ali, Iftikhar Ahmed, Faheem Ashraf, Shadab Khan, Saud Shakeel, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf
PAK vs NZ Dream11 Team Prediction, Captain, Vice Captain

Batsmen
Babar Azam (10), Imam ul-Haq (9.5), Fakhar Zaman (9.5) and Will Young (9) are our batsmen. The Pakistan top three are consistent run makers.
All-rounders
Shadab Khan (9) and Rachin Ravindra (8.5) will be our all rounders. Both players are capable of turning the game with both bat and ball.
Bowlers
Shaheen Afridi (9), Haris Rauf (8.5) and Ajaz Patel (8.5) will be our bowlers. Patel enjoyed the conditions in Bangladesh and should also enjoy the pitch in Rawalpindi.

Pakistan vs New Zealand Match Prediction
New Zealand Team News & Playing 11
NZ Team News
The Black Caps did themselves proud in Bangladesh against a very strong home side and could well have won the IT20 series earlier this month. This remains a second-string New Zealand side but they are full of the mental toughness and character of their full side.
NZ Key Players
Tom Latham - The captain had not played IT20 cricket for many years before leading the side impressively in Bangladesh. Latham has hit 5 centuries in ODIs.
Finn Allen - We expect the big hitting opener to make his ODI debut in this game, he hit 41 in the final IT20 in Bangladesh.
Ajaz Patel - The left-arm spinner should make his ODI debut in this match after outperforming all other bowlers in the IT20 series in Bangladesh.
NZ Team Form
New Zealand were in excellent form in this format when they last played an ODI but this is a very different side that will be on show in this match.
New Zealand Predicted Playing 11
Finn Allen, Rachin Ravindra, Will Young, Colin de Grandhomme, Tom Latham (c) (wk), Henry Nicholls, Cole McConchie, Scott Kuggeleijn, Ajaz Patel, Jacob Duffy, Blair Tickner

Who will win Pakistan vs New Zealand 1st ODI?
New Zealand have an exciting batting line-up on show but Pakistan have the more experienced and high scoring batters on display.
We are backing Shaheen Afrid, Hasan Ali and Haris Rauf with the ball for Pakistan. Rauf has been the leading bowler for the side in 2021.
Ajaz Patel, Cole McConchie and Jacob Duffy are the top bowlers for New Zealand. Patel proved his ability and worth to the side in Bangladesh and will be the leader of the attack in Pakistan.
New Zealand gave a strong account of themselves against Bangladesh earlier this month but we expect ODIs against Pakistan in Pakistan to be a tougher proposition. We are predicting a competitive game with Pakistan’s top order the difference between the sides as they go 1-0 up.
