Crucial World Cup Clash: New Zealand vs Pakistan
New Zealand and Pakistan face off in a high-stakes match with a place in the World Cup semi-finals at stake. New Zealand's form has declined, with three consecutive defeats and mounting injuries to key players. Pakistan, despite a recent win against Bangladesh, has struggled with inconsistency and weaknesses in their middle order and bowling. Trent Boult's performance with the new ball and Pakistan's spinners will be key factors to watch. New Zealand's injured players trained ahead of the match, but their availability will be decided on game day. Rain may impact the second half of the match.
