Whats the fault in the reasoning behind the number of streamlines possibility?

Consider a fluid which is moving from a pipe which is having area of cross section A1 and one point in space and in other its A2 area A1<A2 , we say that can visualize the flow by making streamlines from that one space to other space , consider the cross section to be both of circular sections , now my question is we know therr a infinie points on a circle so that means from A1 area we can make infinite streamlines called this as N1 (total streamlines) , now from A2 area though there are infinite points we can consider so there too infinite stream lines call this N2 , now we can observe that points we can select on bigger area would be more than small area , so doesnt this means streamlines from A2 will be different in numbers as compared to A1 cross section area ? Where is the fault ?
