Australia

New Zealand/South Africa

Your list doesn't even make any sense.

India, Pakistan, NZ, Bangladesh are in one group. Only 2 can qualify so how is it possible to debate between NZ and SA when they aren't even in contention with one another?

Nz has a more balanced team then India atm who are riddled with bowling injuries and NZ literally smacked India in their own den.

Yes different formats but the mental pressure is going to be their irrespective of any format minus t20 cricket where it isn't applicable. India losing 3-0 at home followed by getting a reality check in BGT and going from a sure shot place in wtc vs aus or sa to being booted out altogether is next level pressure.

To top it off bumrah is put atleast till the semi's ans their other bowling resources look thin thanks to injuries. It won't be as easy as you think.

As for NZ vs Pak, NZ isn't feeding fakhar zaman sodhi this time around and they'll make sure to plan for him. To top it off this a fakhar who has been out of the team for a while and doesn't have much confidence due to a shadow ban. The only reason falhar is coming back is because their is no choice now, it's either him or Duckbullah.

The main issue for NZ will be Babar who despite lack of form loves NZ bowling and possibly saim if he's fit.

NZ isn't exactly a fodder team. The only freebie hou have is Bangladesh and even then it's unconfirmed due to the gand botch that Pakistan committed against them recently so even though it's odi, some mental pressure will be their.
