NZ vs PAK Dream11 Match Prediction | Who Will Win Today Match

Abu Dhabi, November 07 at 04:30 PM IST

After 3-0 mauling in the Twenty 20, the focus now shifts to the 50-over format. The two sides face off in the first of the three-match ODI series at Sheikh Zayed Stadium on Wednesday.

The touring New Zealand side would want to take the T20 series defeat off their head and seek redemption. New Zealand would be disappointed with the dip in performances as the tour has gone by. They need to lift their game to challenge confident Pakistan.

On the other hand, in-form Pakistan would want to take the momentum of T20 wins into the 50-over games. The hosts are currently languishing at seventh spot in the ICC ODI rankings. They would look at the series as an opportunity to improve their ranking in the format and also to make amends of the poor Asia Cup performances
