New Zealand Betting Analysis
New Zealand continue to inflict further misery on Pakistan and after 73-run win in the first ODI, went even better in the second match, triumphing by 84 runs. Ben Sears was outstanding with the ball, picking up a five-wicket-haul for the loss of 59 runs. Sears didn’t play in the first game, so he proved a point in Hamilton. Start he start here, back him to take over 1.5 match wickets.
Pakistan Betting Analysis
Pakistan were second best once again in the second ODI and must be thinking about home after what has been a truly miserable tour from their perspective. Their best bowler set to feature is Haris Rauf, assuming the right-arm pacer is not rested in the last game. Should Rauf play, his speed could help him pick up wickets, so explore a small stake in him to finish as Pakistan’s top bowler.
New Zealand vs Pakistan Expert Prediction
New Zealand might have been winning with regularity over the course of this tour but they’ll still want to end it on a winning note despite the ODI series having already been secured. It’s been comfortably for them and the cricket produced by the Black Caps deserves credit, both batting and bowling. They’ll be expected to finish strongly and should be backed to seal a 3-0 victory.
