The 35th game of the ODI World Cup 2023 pits Pakistan against New Zealand in a must-win encounter for both teams. If New Zealand win the match then Pakistan will get knocked out of the tournament on Saturday.
The Kiwis began the ODI World Cup 2023 with four successive wins to lay the early benchmark. Their loss to India was followed by losses to Australia and South Africa in the next two games. New Zealand is also dealing with injury concerns for a few key players.
Pakistan on the other hand cannot afford any more slip-ups. Babar Azam and his side beat Bangladesh by 7 wickets in Kolkata to spark hopes for a place in the semi-finals. Having played seven games with six points this game is yet another do-or-die situation for the men in green.

Match – Pakistan versus New Zealand, ODI World Cup 2023, 35th Match
Venue – M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru
Date – 4th November, Saturday, 10:30 AM IST

Likely Playing Conditions and Pitch Report
There is a huge alert for rain in the air and we could see a stop-start affair. The Chinnaswamy stadium in Bangalore is known to have excellent drainage facilities if the rain does come down heavily.
Bengaluru has hosted two games in this ODI World Cup 2023 and has seen two different games. Both those games though were played under lights and this is a day-game affair. With the conditions prevalent it will be a bowler’s dream as there could be swing on offer with the new ball. The spinners can come into play once the ball gets old and it will be a high-scoring encounter.
