There is tension in the cricket world over the issue of India going to Pakistan, Pakistan not going to India. In the meantime, Pakistan has occupied the top spot in the ICC ODI rankings for the first time, topping arch-rivals India and Australia. In the ongoing five-match ODI series against New Zealand at home, hosts Pakistan have won all four matches played so far. This is the mission to whitewash Kiwis in front of Babar Azam.

Pakistan-New Zealand will meet today in the fifth and final match of the series. The hosts are confident after four straight wins.
Before embarking on the whitewash mission, Afridi spoke about his dream in an interview given to the country’s popular media Geo News.
Such performance of the Pakistan team ahead of the upcoming World Cup and Asia Cup is satisfactory. That’s why Pakistan’s star pacer Shaheen Afridi is dreaming big about his team. He said, “God willing, we will win the final of the World Cup and the Asia Cup this time.”

The ODI World Cup is going to be held in India in October this year. Bilateral series with India is unfamiliar to Pakistan’s young cricketers. However, he does not think that the conditions of neighboring countries will be very different. Afridi said, ‘India’s condition will not be much different for us. We will try to take advantage of that in the World Cup.
