The iconic M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore will play host to a riveting ICC World Cup 2023 clash between New Zealand and Pakistan on Saturday (November 4). With a victory necessary for both nations to keep their top-four contention going, the great venue in Bengaluru becomes an ideal setting for the Asian Giants to face the BlackCaps. 

One of the highest-scoring grounds in India, Chinnaswamy Stadium is renowned for its flat pitch with true bounce and minimal lateral movement that aids stroke-making. The only respite for bowlers from either side in the forthcoming encounter will be the absence of under lights dew after a 10:30 AM IST start on a double-header day. 

Dew adds to the nightmare for the side fielding second at the ground with its small-sized boundary dimensions unless they have an insurmountable score on the board. As Australia would've found out in defence of the massive 367-run target after Pakistan gave them a major scare before a fatal middle-order collapse. 


But with no wet conditions, the Pakistanis would believe they have a stronger say in the contest this time against the BlackCaps, capable of unleashing their swing-oriented pace attack and their growing spinners against a Kiwi side that has lost sting over the past three games.

If you're defending a score at the Chinnaswamy, the key remains to post a huge total on the board, something Pakistan would love to do if they are to upstage the more in-form BlackCaps outfit and threaten to make a late case for knock-outs entrance at the ongoing World Cup 2023.
