In the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023, a crucial semifinal-chasing encounter is set to unfold as New Zealand faces off against Pakistan, in the 35th match of the tournament. This clash is scheduled to take place at the iconic M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday, November 4. 

The stakes are high for both teams, with Tom Latham leading New Zealand, who are determined to halt their three-match losing streak and solidify their position for a coveted top-four finish. On the other hand, Pakistan, led by Babar Azam, seeks to maintain their newfound winning momentum and draw level with their Kiwi counterparts on the points table.

This battle at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium holds particular significance as it marks the first time these two cricketing giants have clashed at this venue.

The Kiwis and Pakistan have previously clashed in eight matches across two bilateral series in Pakistan earlier this year, with New Zealand winning the first series 2-1 and Pakistan dominating the second series 4-1.
