What channel is New Zealand v Pakistan Cricket World Cup 2023 match on? TV coverage, live stream and UK time
Check out how to watch New Zealand v Pakistan in the Cricket World Cup 2023, including TV and radio coverage, UK time and our key player to watch.
Pakistan play New Zealand in Bengaluru, in what is a must-win match for the former - while the Kiwis have a chance of all but securing qualification for the semi-finals.
Jeopardy. Finally. 35 matches into a 45 match competition and we have our first proper World Cup knockout-esque match.
The format of the current competition is painstakingly slow, with all 10 teams playing each other once, leading to dead rubbers galore at the end of the group stage after a slow burn start. It’s hardly the ideal combination.
But if you’ve made it this far, this is your reward. The penultimate group match for both teams, if New Zealand win, they are as good as through, while Pakistan have to win to keep their hopes alive and go equal on points with New Zealand - leading to a final round shootout.
The Kiwis were the form team at the start of the competition, winning their first four matches. But lows follow highs, and they’ve subsequently lost their next three.
Pakistan have had a similar binary run of results - winning their first two, then losing four on the bounce, before winning against Bangladesh last time out.

New Zealand v Pakistan key player to watch
Lockie Ferguson (New Zealand)
One of New Zealand’s many walking wounded, the Black Caps were down to only 10 fit players at the end of their loss to South Africa, and have called up Kyle Jamieson as cover.
Lockie Ferguson is expected to be fit for the Pakistan match and is a high-risk, high-reward player. He takes wickets, but he goes for runs. And with New Zealand’s bowling attack lacking depth, they desperately need a good performance from him this time out.
