New Zealand vs Pakistan: preview
Having led the way for much of the early stages of the Cricket World Cup, 4th-placed New Zealand are now in freefall and 6th-placed Pakistan could be the beneficiaries as they meet in an effective four-pointer at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore today. The outcome could completely alter the complexion of the top four race.
The Kiwis set a mammoth target of 402 in the first session, guided by a 108 knock from Rachin Ravindra. It leaves Pakistan needing to pull off the highest run chase in World Cup history just to stay alive.
New Zealand looked like a shoo-in for the knockouts when they kicked off the tournament with four wins, but a run of three straight defeats, the latest a 190-run battering at the hands of South Africa, have dropped them into the heart of a five-way shootout. The Shaheens have been streakier, winning their first two and losing their next four, before bouncing back by thrashing Bangladesh in midweek.
It was the first time their vaunted three-pronged pace attack of Shaheen Shah Afridi – who claimed his 100th ODI wicket – Mohammad Wasim and Haris Rauf really hit their groove, but it's Pakistan's batting performance that's likely to prove crucial against the Kiwis.
Just as (a very rusty) Tim Southee made his return from a fractured thumb, New Zealand have lost Matt Henry, their top wicket-taker in ODI cricket this year, to a hamstring injury. Lockie Ferguson is also still out, but skipper Kane Williamson is back on the pitch after suffering a hand issue on his comeback from a knee injury.
New Zealand team: Conway, Ravindra, Williamson (c), Mitchell, Latham (wk), Phillips, Chapman, Santner, Sodhi, Southee, Boult
Pakistan team: Fakhar Zaman, Abdullah Shafique, Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Saud Shakeel, Iftikhar Ahmed, Agha Salman, Hasan Ali, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Wasim, Haris Rauf

Monthly plans cost $10.99 a month, while the cost-saving annual subscription is priced at $109.99 a year.

Willow TV, meanwhile, is available from a number of cable providers including Dish, Spectrum, Xfinity, Verizon Fios and more. It's also accessible via OTT provider Sling TV across a range of devices. There are options to pay just for Willow (from $10 a month), or add it to your existing Sling plan. You can check out your options and sign up on its website.
