The Black Caps are full of confidence after an all-out 2-0 win over the West Indies and must achieve a similar result in the two Pakistan Tests.
India and Australia top New Zealand on the ladder of the Test Championship, but if India continues to fight and New Zealand wins the series against a weak Pakistan, it might be enough to see the Black Caps at Lord’s for the final in June.
But Captain Kane Williamson, who missed the second West Indies test to be with his wife for the birth of his first child, refuses to look at the bigger picture.
« I think the context of that (test championship) is great for the game in general, but our focus, like in the last couple of tests, is on starting over and adapting to the conditions we are going to be have, « he said.
« So it comes back to those basics for us and basically plays what’s ahead of us instead of getting too carried away with possible possible things, who knows? »

They are seventh in the world, while New Zealand is tied with Australia at the top.
New Zealand presents a steady line-up with the only question being whether it will play spinner Mitchell Santner or all-rounder in Daryl Mitchell.
Ross Taylor will certainly start in third place, which makes him the best-filled New Zealand player with 438 appearances in all three formats.
But he’s been fighting averaging 18 lately. 3 over his last 10 innings, which isn’t good enough for a specialist batsman, especially with form batsmen Will Young and Devon Conway waiting in the starting blocks.
Henry Nicholls faced similar middle-order pressures in the West Indian Series, but secured his spot for the near future when he produced a capable 174 in the Second West Indian Test.
A vibrant green New Zealand wicket is expected to emerge on the bottom of Bay Oval, suitable for the New Zealand attack by Tim Southee, Trent Boult, Neil Wagner and Kyle Jamieson on his side.
« It doesn’t matter if (the playing field) has grass. The grass is the same for us as it is for the New Zealand side. It all depends on hard work. Whoever does the hard work will get the result, « he said.
