Welcome to our live coverage of the Pakistan vs New Zealand 4th ODI cricket match, taking place at the National Stadium in Karachi. This is an important match for both teams as they seek to gain momentum ahead of the upcoming World Cup.
Pakistan will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing performance in the previous match, where they lost to New Zealand by 18 runs. They will be counting on their star batsmen Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman to lead the charge with the bat, while their bowlers Hasan Ali and Shaheen Afridi will be looking to take early wickets and put pressure on the New Zealand batting lineup.
New Zealand, on the other hand, will be looking to build on their previous victory and seal the series win with another strong performance. Their captain Kane Williamson has been in excellent form with the bat and will be a key player for them once again. Their bowling attack, led by Trent Boult and Tim Southee, will be looking to keep the pressure on the Pakistani batsmen and take early wickets.
The pitch at the National Stadium is expected to be conducive to spin bowling, so the spinners on both sides will have a crucial role to play in the match. With the series currently tied at 1-1, this match promises to be an exciting encounter between two evenly matched teams.
