NZ vs PAK: New Zealand batter Rachin Ravindra is having the time of his life in the <a href="https://www.cricketworldcup.com" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.cricketworldcup.com">ICC World Cup 2023</a>. The southpaw has set the stage on fire in the ongoing tournament in India and has been one of the finds of the event.?



Rachin Ravindra has been batting like a dream in the ICC World Cup 2023. He brought up his third ton in the NZ vs PAK match in Bengaluru. During the course of his innings, he equalled an all-time record of great Sachin Tendulkar in the history of the World Cups.&nbsp;



Rachin Ravindra equalled Sachin Tendulkar?s tally of most runs by a U-25 batter in a Single edition of the World Cup. The New Zealand batter scored 523 runs and joined the batting great, who scored this many runs during the 1996 World Cup.&nbsp;



Most runs by a U-25 batter in a Single edition of the World Cup:



Sachin Tendulkar - 523 in 1996.



Rachin Ravindra - 523* in 2023.



With New Zealand slated to play one more league game and potentially semi-final as well, Rachin Ravindra is expected to break that record. The batter played a sensational knock against Pakistan and looked great to the eyes.?

Rachin Ravindra opened the innings against Pakistan and asserted his authority right from the start. He played some glorious shots throughout his innings and it didn?t seem that he was out of sorts. He timed the ball to perfection and notched up another one in the tournament.&nbsp;



Rachin Ravindra ended with a knock of 108 off 94 balls. He batted with a strike rate of around 115 and also smashed 15 fours and 1 six in his innings. His stupendous knock powered New Zealand to the big total of 401 runs on the board in NZ vs PAK game in Bengaluru.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">NZ vs PAK: Rachin Ravindra joins elite list of batters after his ton&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/11/IMG_6478.jpg" alt="NZ vs PAK " class="wp-image-122274" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Rachin Ravindra {PC: ICC WC 23}</figcaption></figure>



After his magnificent ton in the NZ vs PAK, Rachin Ravindra joined an elite list of batters. He joined the club of batters with most centuries in the World Cups. He has three centuries to his name and with the way he?s batting it won?t be a surprise if he hits more tons in this edition.



Rachin Ravindra joined the likes of Rohit Sharma (5, 2019), Kumar Sangakkara (4, 2015), Quinton de Kock (4, 2023), Mark Waugh (3, 1996), Sourav Ganguly (3, 2003) and David Warner (3, 2019).&nbsp;

NZ vs PAK: Keeping in view the T20 World Cup 2024, the Pakistan team will go to New Zealand to play a five-match T20 series. This series will start on January 12, and the final T20 match will be played on January 21. The leadership of the New Zealand team will be on the shoulders of Kane Williamson.



Kane Williamson, the captain, and opening batsman Devon Conway have returned for the series against Pakistan. Both batsmen were rested following the Bangladesh Test series. Williamson cannot?participate in the third T20 of the series due to a knee injury. Josh Clarkson has been named as his replacement, with Mitchell Santner taking over as captain in his absence.



All five matches of the series will be played at four different venues: the first match will be played on January 12 at Eden Park Stadium in Hamilton, the second on January 14 at Seddon Park in Dunedin, and the third match on January 17 at the University Oval in Dunedin. The fourth and fifth matches of the same series will be played at Hagley Oval Stadium in Christchurch.



Head coach Gary Stead said, "The Pakistan series is important for a number of reasons, and he has put emphasis on the Pakistan series as the T20 World Cup is around the corner." The return of Matt, Devon, Ferguson, and Kane is fantastic for the team; they will be vital to the team. There are four big players and their skills and experience will strengthen our team. "There are only three T20 series left before the T20 World Cup, and all of them are crucial to our preparation."

PAK vs NZ 2024: After the conclusion of the tour of Australia, the Pakistan Cricket team is set to fly to New Zealand for a 5-match T20I series starting 12 January. Pakistan had an unsuccessful tour of Australia where they lost the Test series but they really will be looking forward for the T20I series in New Zealand in a T20 World Cup Year. Here we are, with the PAK vs NZ Schedule 2024, Fixture, Full Squads, Date, Timings, And All You Need To Know.

The second week of the year and Pakistan have started preparing for the World Cup of the game's shortest format. Pakistan are scheduled to play only T20 format this year till the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 apart from the only test of their Australia tour. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/11/PAK-vs-NZ.jpg" alt="IND vs SA: South Africa QUALIFY for World Cup 2023 Semi-Finals, New Zealand &amp; Pakistan's Qualification Scenarios" class="wp-image-122285" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: Associated Press</figcaption></figure>



Pakistan will tour New Zealand for a five-match T20I series which is set to start on 12 January. Eden Park of Auckland is set to host the opening match of the tour. The teams will then travel to Hamilton for the second T20I and interestingly Pakistan have never won a T20I match at Hamilton. 



The teams will then fly to University Oval, Dunedin for the third T20I. Pakistan lost by 183 runs in an ODI match when they last played here in 2018 and this will be their first outing in the venue in the T20 format. 



Hagley Oval, Christchurch is slated to host the final two T20Is of the tour and the last T20I of the series will be played on 21 January. As Babar Azam has stepped down from the captaincy of all formats, Shaheen Shah Afridi is announced as the new leader of the T20I side. Hence, this series will also serve as the first series to be captained by Shaheen Shah Afridi.



Both cricket boards have announced their respective squads. Where Pakistan called for two uncapped players to the squad, New Zealand looked comfortable with the reliable names.

pak-vs-nz-schedule-2024-fixture-full-squads-date-timings-and-all-you-need-to-know

PAK vs NZ 2nd T20I: The hosts just outclassed the visitors in the first T20I of the Pakistan tour of New Zealand 2024. The home side is 1-up with the first match done and four left. An average batting and below-par bowling performance ended Pakistan in the losing corner. Pakistan and New Zealand are going to clash on 14 January at Hamilton in the second T20I, and here are the 2 changes Pakistan might make for the PAK vs NZ 2nd T20I.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#pak-vs-nz-2nd-t-20-i-2-changes-pakistan-might-make">PAK vs NZ 2nd T20I: 2 Changes Pakistan might make</a></li><li class=""><a href="#pak-vs-nz-2nd-t-20-i-probable-x-is">PAK vs NZ 2nd T20I: Probable XIs</a></li></ul></nav></div>



In the first T20I, Shaheen Shah Afridi won the toss in his first official outing as the permanent T20I skipper. He opted to bowl and did what he is known for, first-over Wicket! His next over became his most expensive over in the T20I where he conceded 24 runs. Williamson and Mitchell partied together for an 80-run partnership in the next 6 overs.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/01/pak-1.jpg" alt="PAK vs NZ 2nd T20I: 2 Changes Pakistan might make for the 2nd T20I against New Zealand; Check Out For Full Details" class="wp-image-125209" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">PAK vs NZ 2nd T20I (Image-Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



Small but important cameos from down the order helped New Zealand reach the record total of 226 runs. None of the Pakistani bowlers were below 8 runs per over and Aamer Jamal was the most expensive concerning 55 runs in 4 overs with a zero in the wicket column. Skipper Shaheen Shah also went for 11.50 runs per over whereas Abbas and Haris were the cheapest bowlers bowling at 8.50 runs per over.



When it came to chase, what a wonderful batsman Saim Ayub is! He truly took New Zealand bowlers by storm in the first couple of overs where he scored 27 runs off just 8 balls but an unfortunate runout got him off the field. Babar Azam was too good to return to the shortest format of the sport as he smashed 57 off just 35 balls. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/01/nz-1.jpg" alt="PAK vs NZ 2nd T20I: 2 Changes Pakistan might make for the 2nd T20I against New Zealand; Check Out For Full Details" class="wp-image-125208" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">New Zealand (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



Interestingly Fakhar Zaman was handed the middle order duties and he was not up to the mark as he was asked. Aamer Jamal showed good signs in the batting as he remained not out with 14 runs in 7 balls next to his name. But wickets kept falling from one side and Pakistan lost the game by as many as 46 runs.



Pakistan got a good start but lost the match in the middle where to middle order left the momentum provided by Babar and Fakhar. So, down below are the 2 changes Pakistan might make for the PAK vs NZ 2nd T20I:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pak-vs-nz-2nd-t-20-i-2-changes-pakistan-might-make">PAK vs NZ 2nd T20I: 2 Changes Pakistan might make</h2>



Mohammad Nawaz IN for&nbsp;Usama Mir?



Usama Mir was never looked in control in the first T20I in his four overs. He conceded runs with close to 13 runs-an-over which shows that New Zealand batters were finding him easy. Nawaz comes with his experience and quality left arm off-break. He could also help with the bat down the order and overall he could be a handy pick for the 2nd T20I.



Fakhar to come earlier?



Over the past few years, Rizwan and Babar were opening the batting for Pakistan in the T20I format, but a slow strike rate was their main criticism that allowed the new Pakistani skipper to shuffle the top order. Fakhar Zaman is a batter who has done some majestic work when he opens the innings and Rizwan is the one who can bat at number 4 with ease. 



Fakhar's failure in the first T20I can make PCB think tank to reshuffle the top order as Zaman is a promising opener and he could produce some significant impact with Saim Ayub at the top.

PAK vs NZ 4th T20I: Pakistan have lost three consecutive T20Is against the hosts New Zealand and so lost the five-match T20I series in New Zealand under the new skipper Shaheen Shah Afridi. Three games and Pakistan managed to lose them in a pretty similar fashion. Now they have nothing to lose in the fourth contest and here we are with the PAK vs NZ 4th T20I Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Team, Weather Forecast, and Hagley Oval Christchurch Pitch Report.

Pakistan came up with some changes in the playing 11 for the 3rd T20I and with some hopes that something would change in the positive path but Finn Allen's resistance didn't allow them. A complete brutal bashing from Allen annihilated Pakistan and handed them a sour 45-run defeat in the third T20I.

Pakistan have a good track record in Christchurch. They have played 4 matches there and have won 3 of them. The 4th and 5th T20I of this T20I series are set to be played in the Hagley Oval and Pakistan would be looking at it as an opportunity to open their account in the series.

It seems to be decent weather in New Zealand?s Christchurch on January 19. As forecasted by Weather.com, there is a zero possibility of rain during the scheduled match hours. A 60-70% sky will be covered by clouds but no threat of rain.



A windy and overcast evening in Christchurch is predicted. There are remote chances of rain so we can hope for some good action of cricket.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="hagley-oval-christchurch-pitch-report">Hagley Oval, Christchurch Pitch Report</h2>



Hagley Oval in Christchurch is another traditional New Zealand track where the medium pacers will delight. It should be a green top track, and it will be difficult for the hitters to play against the new ball bowlers. In the first few overs, there will be plenty of movement for the seamers. With an average first-inning score of 165 in the previous Twenty20 matches, the Hagley Oval in Christchurch is a ground that benefits batting as the ball becomes older.

PAK vs NZ 4th T20I Dream11 Prediction, Weather Forecast, Pakistan vs New Zealand Dream11 Team, Hagley Oval,?Christchurch Pitch Report | Pakistan tour of New Zealand 2023

NZ vs PAK: In a key update ahead of the New Zealand vs Pakistan 5th and final T20I in Christchurch, the Kiwis have pulled back the participation of Daryl Mitchell. The all-rounder will no longer participate in the 5th T20I at the Hagley Oval against Pakistan.



The decision was taken keeping in mind the workload of the all-rounder, who has been on the roll since August 30 last year. Mitchell has been a vital cog in New Zealand's three format lineups and has featured in 28 matches in the last six months. 



Daryl Mitchell will have a few days break before he returns to the side for the crucial two-match test series against South Africa, starting February 04 followed by a T20I and Test series against Australia, starting February 21.



Notably, New Zealand have called in Rachin Ravindra to replace Daryl Mitchell. New Zealand's coach Gary Stead confirmed the development:



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/BLACKCAPS/status/1748537743666446339
</div></figure>



"We've made a call to give Daryl Mitchell a break from this game. We've obviously got some important Test matches leading up," Stead said. "Daryl's a three-format player, so it's really important that we do manage his workload over this period. He's highly likely to play a big part in the rest of our [home] season. So we just thought this is an opportune time [to give him a break], given the series is won."



"But it's also nice to introduce Rachin back into the side. He's been on a period of break, and came back and played one game for Wellington Firebirds [in the domestic T20s]. He fits well into the team in the role that we'd like him to play."



With New Zealand already 4-0 up in the T20I series against Pakistan, the move to rest Daryl Mitchell makes sense. The Kiwis would look to sweep Pakistan in the 5th T20I on January 21 in Christchurch.



Below are the updated squads for New Zealand vs Pakistan 5th T20I:



New Zealand T20I Squad: Kane Williamson (c), Mark Chapman, Glenn Phillips, Finn Allen, Mitchell Santner, Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Matt Henry, Adam Milne, Tim Seifert, Ben Sears, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee.



Pakistan Squad:?Shaheen Afridi (c), Fakhar Zaman, Sahibzada Farhan, Babar Azam, Aamer Jamal, Iftikhar Ahmed, Saim Ayub, Azam Khan, Haseebullah Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Abbas Afridi, Abrar Ahmed, Mohammad Rizwan, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Usama Mir, Haris Rauf, Zaman Khan.

The wait for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to be over. The tournament will begin on 19th February, and the final will take place on 9th March. The India team, no doubt, will be one of the hot favourites to win the tournament, which will be played in a hybrid model. 
India will be playing all their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 games in Dubai. The Rohit Sharma-led side will be beginning their campaign against Bangladesh on 20th February, and, after that, will be playing Pakistan on 23rd February, followed by New Zealand on 2nd March. 
The departure date of India for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 also has been revealed. As per the reports in Times of India, it is learned that the Rohit Sharma-led side will be travelling to Dubai on 15th February. The reports added that more clarity on the same will come in the coming days. 
<h2>India won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
Not only this, it is learned that India also won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because all the teams will be in Pakistan, and hence, it will be difficult for the International Cricket Council (ICC) to arrange the warmup match. 
The reports added that India team management is happy with the net session ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because they will be playing the three-match ODI series against England, which will begin on 6th February across three venues in India. 
Apart from this, it is reported that the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 won't be having a captain photoshoot because of the different challenges along with the different arrivals of the team. This means that Rohit Sharma won't be travelling to Pakistan for this and will be staying in Dubai with the team. 
The opening ceremony of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be held in Lahore. There were talks of having the event in Karachi but the Pakistan Cricket Board decided to host it in Lahore.

India batter Shubman Gill has started his preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The premier batter has returned to nets for the white-ball practice as he was named in the Indian team for the ODI series against England and the ICC tournament. 
Shubman Gill has been under a lot of pressure for his poor outings with the bat, especially in Test cricket. With the emergence of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who delivered consistent performances, there were a lot of questions about the place of Gill, even in the ODIs. 
Several fans and experts also have backed Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the innings for India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 along with Rohit Sharma. However, amid all this Shubman Gill is making sure that he gives his best to train for the tournament. 
With England ODIs and ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner, Shubman Gill was seen batting in the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium. He was seen batting with the white-ball ahead of the tournament and the video can be seen at the end of the article. 
Shubman Gill looked in golden touch with the bat as he played a pull towards the four before blocking the balls. The batter would be eager to make a strong comeback and reply to all the criticism in style with his performances in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
Shubman Gill recently played the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 for Punjab. The batter was the lone warrior for his team as he hit a magnificent century and returned to form after having a poor outing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, where he played just three games. 
Shubman Gill would want to carry on his form and help a team win. He has been one of the best batters for India in ODIs. He also has been named as the vice-captain of the team for the tournament and with added responsibility under his belt, a lot will be reliant on him.

Pakistan batter Babar Azam has been in the news for the last few days, especially with the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner. The batter's name has been discussed a lot related to making him open, especially with no clarity over Saim Ayub. 
Pakistan is the only team that has yet to announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Since the last few days, he has been in the news as there have been a lot of reports that have suggested that there are chances that he might open the innings for the team. 
However, the fresh reports in Cricket Pakistan have revealed that there are no plans to make Babar Azam open the innings. The reports added that the selection committee has not given the green signal to the development as they feel that batter will be best suited in the middle order. 
<h2>Selectors want a proper opener in the role; Babar Azam to at in middle-order</h2>
The reports claimed that selectors want a proper opener in the role. One of the openers that has been finalized by the management is Fakhar Zaman. However, with Saim Ayub likely to miss out, it is learned that Imam-ul-Haq is also in contention to take the role. 
Babar Azam has been the best batter for Pakistan in ODIs. The batter has mustered truckloads of runs for the team in the format while batting at No.3 and he will be extremely crucial for his team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will be played in Pakistan with India games to be played in India. 
Babar Azam also has been a decent opener as well. He has been opening for the team in T20Is and has achieved massive success as well. He also opened in Test cricket during the recent South Africa series and aced that challenge as well, slamming two half-centuries in two innings. 
But, in white-ball cricket, Babar Azam has been criticised a lot for opening in T20Is. This is because he has failed to maximise the powerplay and has been batting with a low strike rate. It remains to be seen where he will be batting for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

India assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate has provided a massive fitness update about batter Rinku Singh ahead of the fourth IND vs ENG T20I. He mentioned that the left-hander has gained full fitness and will be playing the next match of the five-match T20I series. 
India and England are all set to lock horns with each other in the fourth match of the T20I series. The game is all set to be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Thursday (30th January). The series is currently at 2-1, with hosts in the lead. 
India has been without the services of Rinku Singh for the last two games of the IND vs ENG series. The left-hander sustained a low back spasm while fielding in the first game and was then ruled out of the next two games of the series as he was under the observation of the BCCI medical team. 
In his place, the India team added Dhruv Jurel to the XI, and the move didn't pay off. The keeper-batter batted lower down the order and struggled to get going in both games, and it potentially cost them the last match of the series. 
<h2>Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow - Ryan Ten Doeschate</h2>
However, in what will be a massive boost, Rinku Singh has been declared fit for the next two games. The development was confirmed by assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate, who said that the batter hit nets and will be playing. He told reporters. 
"Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow. He batted yesterday night" 
Rinku Singh has been India's one of the best batters in the T20Is. His absence was felt in the last two games as well, but now, with him being fit, it is expected that he would walk straight into the XI and is likely to add Dhruv Jurel to the team. 
The fourth IND vs ENG T20I will be a great opportunity for India to to seal the series, but they need to make some corrections before heading into the next IND vs ENG match. 
India faced a disappointing 26-run loss in the last match at Rajkot. Their batting was one of the main reasons behind the loss and they would be hoping to make a strong comeback.
