Pakistan, on the other hand, scored 345 runs and the chances of winning today's match are very slim as New Zealand have already scored 212 runs in 27 overs. However, despite having some of the best bowlers in Pakistan, they are unable to create any pressure on New Zealand's batting line-up. However, whatever Pakistan does in the warm-up matches, it is expected that they will perform well in the main tournament of the ICC World Cup.

Expectations were really Hight because they have well balanced team and the main things is due to aisa strong team after India they have same pitch and situation like they have thier own in Pakistan, no doubt they played brilliantly during bat first because same squad has not even score 300 at same format in Sirilanka during Asia Cup, while here they scored a big amount of Total target which was 345 around but unfortunately due to absence of Naseem and Shaheen thier bowler really delivered bad and leak too much runs than expectation which really put them off the track and that's why they lose already win match just due to bad fielding and lack of best deliveries from bowler

While on the other hand sirilankan team perform worst ever performance against a Bangladesh which mean they are still off track after a bad defeat from India in Asia Cup while Bangladesh really improve thier self they not only perform good through thier bowl but with thier bat two which really make them a tough danger team
