New Zealand vs Pakistan, ICC Cricket World Cup 2019: Trent Boult's battle with Fakhar Zaman to watch out for

Trent Boult was among the wickets in the last game against Windies as he picked up 4 wickets to go to eight in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. One of the finesh bowlers of this generation, Boult is expected to come out all guns blazing against Pakistan as the two teams meet each other on Wednesday. 

Pakistan - who have defeated teams like South Africa and England - have been led by their top three, and a major reason for their wins was the success of Fakhar Zaman. The opener, over the course of the last two games, has looked in fine nick, scoring runs at a brisk pace - which has helped him give his side the much needed foundation at the top. He, however, will know that on a bowling conducive wicket, he will have a tough battle against Boult, who has a good record against Pakistan with 22 wickets in 4 games. 

The Kiwi player bowls at an astonishing pace amd constantly pitches the ball in the same areas, whilst also getting the ball to swing away from the right hander. The moving ball often has left Zaman perturbed and Boult will fancy his chances here.
