This exhibition match between Pakistan vs New Zealand will take place on Friday in Hyderabad. Both teams entered the competition hoping to advance all the way to the championship game, and this match will provide a decent indication of their possibilities. At 14:00 local time, the day-night game begins at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Uppal, Hyderabad.
While never one of the tournament favorites, New Zealand does have some outstanding players at its disposal. In this encounter, they would think they have a good opportunity against Pakistan.
Pakistan is the second-ranked team entering the competition, and many experts anticipate that they will be serious competitors. They will do well against the Black Caps in this game.
According to reports from the Black Caps‘ camp, captain Kane Williamson will play in this match for the first time since suffering an injury in the IPL season’s first match. Tim Southee will not participate in this game since he is still recovering from a fractured thumb.
Devon Conway, a left-handed opener who performed well for Chennai Super Kings during this year’s IPL, averages 46 in this international competition.
One of the best fielders in the world, middle-order batsman Glenn Phillips’ batting has improved recently in both T20 Internationals and ODIs.
The left-arm quick bowler Trent Boult, who last week took 2-33 in Mirpur, demonstrated that he can perform well in Asian conditions. He was by far New Zealand’s finest bowler throughout the England series.

The promising pace bowler Naseem Shah will be greatly missed by Pakistan throughout this World Cup after being diagnosed with a right shoulder ailment. Usama Mir, a leg-spinner, is a member of the team for the competition, and Hasan Ali was a late addition.
Babar Azam, the captain will be eager to regain his form in this game after finishing the Asia Cup with poor scores of 17, 10, and 29. However, he also hit 151 against Nepal.
Mohammad Rizwan, despite not having the same stellar record in ODIs as he does in T20Is, keeper-batter is still a fairly reliable performer for Pakistan in all formats.
Shaheen Shah Afridi, a left-arm pace bowler, has a good chance of being one of the World Cup’s top wicket-takers in 2023. With both the old and new ball, he is potentially harmful.
