PAK Vs NZ 2023: Pakistan’s Likely Playing XI Against New Zealand
PAK Vs NZ 2023 – Pakistan’s Likely Playing XI Against New Zealand:
Pakistan is all set to play their all-important match against New Zealand in the group stage of the World Cup 2023.
It is expected that there will be a change in the combination for the Pakistan team as the spinners are not performing brilliantly in the World Cup.
A team with seven batting options and four pace bowling options will be the best to go considering Pakistan’s spin bowling resources in the World Cup 2023.
As we know, Hassan Ali has recovered and Pakistan also needs him back in the team to share the new ball with Shaheen Shah Afridi in the rest of the matches of the World Cup 2023.
Pakistan might look to include Hassan Ali in the playing XI in place of Salman Ali Agha or Usama Mir for the match against New Zealand.
- Pakistani pacers have picked up 41 wickets in the matches at the World Cup 2023 and that’s why Pakistan should look to play with four pacers in the game against New Zealand.
The vice-captain of Pakistan, Shadab Khan will be monitored till tomorrow and if he gets fit, he will be back in the playing XI of the Pakistan team.
- As per the reports from GEO NEWS, if Shadab Khan doesn’t get fit for the NZ match, Pakistan can also look to add Abrar Ahmed to the main squad of the Pakistan team.

Furthermore, if we talk about the bowling, Shadab and Iftikhar should be able to bowl those 10 overs in the middle for Pakistan and Pakistan can attack the opposition with four quality pacers.
