Shares
New Zealand's team is facing significant difficulties before the most important match against Pakistan. According to reports, the battle to reach the World Cup semi-final has become intense, with the New Zealand camp falling victim to injuries.
As per media reports, the participation of 5 New Zealand players in the scheduled match against Pakistan on 4th November is suspicious. These players include Kane Williamson, Matt Henry, Mark Chapman, Lockie Ferguson, and Jimmy Neesham.
Due to the injuries of these 5 players, it is also proving to be a challenge for New Zealand to field 11 players against Pakistan in the match.
On the other hand, after suffering a defeat from South Africa, the Kiwis' net run rate has also taken a severe hit. However, in terms of net run rate and points, Pakistan has still not managed to surpass New Zealand on the points table.
It has been reported that after the match between South Africa and New Zealand, South Africa has climbed to the top position on the points table with 6 points, while New Zealand, despite having 8 points, has fallen to the fourth position due to a significant drop in net run rate.
Due to the worst loss to South Africa, New Zealand's net run rate has dropped to 0.4, but it is still better than Pakistan's net run rate. Despite easily defeating Bangladesh, Pakistan's net run rate remains negative. Pakistan is currently at the fifth position on the points table with 6 points and a net run rate of -0.02."
