The Mclean park in Napier is traditionally served good for batters with a average score of 199.As for the rain there are chances of rain but they are very little, so we hope for no interruption by the rain.

NZ vs PAK Fantasy Analysis:

Tom Latham for me is going to be the mvp of this match probably this series in the recent three gamed Tom Latham has an average of 87.1 with a century behind his back and the dangerous part is all this matches have been played in this year only, as we have already seen the thrash of Pakistan bowlers in the t20 series, i think it will continue in the odi series as well and Tom Latham as an opener is going to play big innings in this match according to me.

Another person from Newzealand who can do well in this match is Will O’Rourke , in the t20 series Pakistan batters were troubled by Kyle jamison mostly due to his steep bounce and height and I think Will O’Rourke can posses the same threat to Pakistan Batters in the ODI series.

As from Pakistan, one player who without a doubt needs to perform if Pakistan need to play well is Babar Azam, probably not in the best form of his life Babar Azam is still a threat to Newzealand Inexperienced bowling lineup, In the 23 matches Babar has played against Newzealand in ODI he has scored 1,221 with a good average of 48.

Player	Team	Strengths & Impact	Recent Performance
Tom Latham	New Zealand	Key opener, expected MVP of the match/series	Avg 87.1 in last 3 games, 1 century (all in 2024)
Will O’Rourke	New Zealand	Tall pacer, can trouble Pakistan batters like Kyle Jamieson	Expected to exploit bounce advantage
Babar Azam	Pakistan	Pakistan’s key batter, crucial for team’s success	1,221 runs in 23 ODIs vs NZ, Avg 48
