New Zealand vs Pakistan: preview 

Having led the way for much of the early stages of the Cricket World Cup, 4th-placed New Zealand are now in freefall and 6th-placed Pakistan could be the beneficiaries as they meet in an effective four-pointer at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore today. The outcome could completely alter the complexion of the top four race.

The Kiwis set a mammoth target of 402 in the first session, guided by a 108 knock from Rachin Ravindra. It leaves Pakistan needing to pull off the highest run chase in World Cup history just to stay alive. 

New Zealand looked like a shoo-in for the knockouts when they kicked off the tournament with four wins, but a run of three straight defeats, the latest a 190-run battering at the hands of South Africa, have dropped them into the heart of a five-way shootout. The Shaheens have been streakier, winning their first two and losing their next four, before bouncing back by thrashing Bangladesh in midweek.

It was the first time their vaunted three-pronged pace attack of Shaheen Shah Afridi – who claimed his 100th ODI wicket – Mohammad Wasim and Haris Rauf really hit their groove, but it's Pakistan's batting performance that's likely to prove crucial against the Kiwis.

Just as (a very rusty) Tim Southee made his return from a fractured thumb, New Zealand have lost Matt Henry, their top wicket-taker in ODI cricket this year, to a hamstring injury. Lockie Ferguson is also still out, but skipper Kane Williamson is back on the pitch after suffering a hand issue on his comeback from a knee injury.

New Zealand team: Conway, Ravindra, Williamson (c), Mitchell, Latham (wk), Phillips, Chapman, Santner, Sodhi, Southee, Boult

Pakistan team: Fakhar Zaman, Abdullah Shafique, Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Saud Shakeel, Iftikhar Ahmed, Agha Salman, Hasan Ali, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Wasim, Haris Rauf

How to watch New Zealand vs Pakistan live stream from outside your country

Below we've got you covered with your official broadcasting options for more cricket-loving countries (and the US!), but if you're outside your country of residence - whether that's India, Pakistan or anywhere else - and try to start streaming the 2023 Cricket World Cup via your typical broadcasting service, you'll soon discover that you can't, as it's location restricted. But there is a way to tune in regardless.

By downloading and installing a VPN, you can effectively trick your computer into thinking that it's back at home. That way you can enjoy your home coverage without having to find an illegal stream - assuming you comply with the broadcaster's fine print, of course - specifically its terms and conditions.

ESPN PlusWillow TV

Every game of the 2023 Cricket World Cup is being shown on both ESPN Plus online and Willow TV in the US. Willow is also available in Canada.

Just be warned that New Zealand vs Pakistan is set to begin at 1am ET / 10pm PT on Friday night/Saturday morning.

We'd recommend ESPN Plus to sports fanatics watching online, as it also has the rights to the NFL, MLB, NHL, PGA Tour golf, Top Rank boxing and EFL, FA Cup, Bundesliga and La Liga soccer.

Monthly plans cost $10.99 a month, while the cost-saving annual subscription is priced at $109.99 a year.

But there's even better value to be had if you grab ESPN+ as part of the big Disney Plus Bundle. As well as ESPN Plus live sports and documentaries, you'll get access to the hugely impressive Disney Plus catalog, which features Marvel movies, every Simpsons episode ever, the complete Star Wars canon, Pixar films, and much more, plus all the great shows and movies that Hulu offers.

And the cost is super reasonable - you only have to pay $14.99 a month for the Disney Plus bundle – $24.99 if you want to ditch the ads.

Willow TV, meanwhile, is available from a number of cable providers including Dish, Spectrum, Xfinity, Verizon Fios and more. It's also accessible via OTT provider Sling TV across a range of devices. There are options to pay just for Willow (from $10 a month), or add it to your existing Sling plan. You can check out your options and sign up on its website.

Out of the US and want to watch your home coverage? No worries - just use a VPN as described below.
