Who Will Win Today's Match

New Zealand holds a marginal advantage in the first ODI because of their good home record, explosive batting line-up, and bowling attack that is tailored to the conditions of McLean Park. But if Pakistan's top order (Babar, Fakhar, Rizwan) gets going and Shaheen Afridi strikes early, an upset cannot be ruled out. It should be a high-scoring match, but NZ has better chances of winning unless the middle order of Pakistan puts its hand up.
