NZ vs PAK 2025 Match Preview & Betting Tips

The much-anticipated ODI series between New Zealand and Pakistan is set to begin today at Mclean Park, Napier, and it's shaping up to be an exciting contest. After dominating the T20I series 4-1, New Zealand will be looking to extend their winning streak. Although Pakistan will be bolstered by the return of star players Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, they will miss key pacers Haris Rauf and Shaheen Shah Afridi. Despite these absences, the Men in Green will still have a strong squad capable of pulling off a surprise, especially with Babar and Rizwan's leadership.

However, New Zealand has been in excellent form throughout this tour, winning four of their last five games against Pakistan. The conditions in Napier should favor the hosts, who are well-acquainted with the pitch and weather conditions, including patchy rain and temperatures around 15.1°C. We predict that New Zealand will continue their dominance in this match and are the favorites to win.

Pitch ReportMclean Park typically offers a balanced pitch where batsmen can expect to score, but bowlers will need to use the conditions to their advantage. The overhead conditions will help the seamers early on, but overall, the pitch should be conducive to high-scoring.

Weather ConditionsExpect a warm, comfortable day with some isolated showers in the early afternoon. The conditions should suit both batsmen and bowlers, but New Zealand's home advantage gives them the upper hand.
