Hate to say it NZ fans, but we're going to get destroyed.

Can't see our batsmen putting nearly as much pressure on the Pakistan bowlers as England did and due to that we won't be pushing them off their lines/lengths, and I really can't see our bowlers taking 20 wickets.

Fairly comfortable white-wash to Pakistan for mine.

Not Terrible
It'll be fun seeing how we do in Pakistan conditions for the first time in a generation. We did pretty well in the UAE

Excellent last two series in the UAE, drawing the 2014 one & winning the next 2017 or 18 (can't recall).

We do have a decent top 4 batting line-up though with Latham, Conway, KW & Mitchell

Since Latham is one of our best against spin, & the new ball is often the easiest time to bat in Pak, there is a decent case to open with someone else & bat Latham in the middle order for those more challenging spin overs.

Whatever it takes!!!
Yeah, I agree with @Zinzan here. Think Pak have been battle-sharpened after the last series and NZ maybe blindsided here.


Of course, if any team can regroup and fight, it is NZ in these conditions. One thing the old NZ used to excel at, is being difficult to beat. They may not be flashy but you always had to work hard to beat them. Pak could be disheartened enough to give up if that happens.

you know the results are in trouble when this line comes out for the first time in 5-10 years.

Just seen the squad, what happened to NZ’s attack?

Pakistan are still putting their attack together but Hasan Ali is back which makes that easier. 1-0 to the hosts imo, though if the tracks and bat light are the same as the last series here it could be 0-0.
