With 8 points in 7 matches, New Zealand look better positioned to enter the top four but they will have to win at least one of the two remaining matches to take their points to 10 - the maximum that the Babar Azam-led team can achieve now.
New Zealand and Pakistan have played 7 games each, out of them Kiwis have won 4 and have 8 points while the Men in Green have won 3 and have gained 6 points.
