THE PREDICTION
Following a hugely disappointing run of results at home in Test match cricket, Pakistan will expect an improvement in this white ball series. ODI cricket especially has been good to the hosts over the past year or so and Pakistan have won eight of their last nine ODIs. New Zealand have to move on from the likes of Trent Boult, but Matt Henry’s absence represents a blow for them. A lot depends on the likes of Tim Southee and Lockie Ferguson, but the depth of New Zealand is questionable and could see them leak runs here in Karachi. With that in mind, backing Pakistan to win this opening ODI of the series appears a shrewd move.
