These two sides have played a total of 120 ODIs against each other. While Pakistan secured 61 victories, New Zealand could win only 55 games, with three contests ending in a no-result.
Unfortunately, New Zealand would miss out Mark Chapman and Will Young in their XI. Nevertheless, we can expect the Black Caps to continue their winning momentum over the struggling Pakistan side.
