Big game today for Pakistan even if the T20I series has been lost to New Zealand. Pakistanis have not won a single match in last two months since leaving their country in December. After losing Tests vs Australia, they have lost three T20Is on the trot. New Zealand have been superb in the last three games and it will take some doing on the part of the Pakistanis to stop the hosts from making a 5-0 clean sweep. That is why this match still has some relevance as Pakistan look to restore their pride and also win their first game on this tour.
Pickk your fantasy team wisely. There is a chance that Finn Allen may finally fail after producing a good show for three matches on the trot. But he should still be picked as if he stays there even for 10 balls, he will make most out of it. Babar is a must pick. Either of these two can be captain. Take a risk and include the under-pressure Haris Rauf in the playing 11. What if he comes good finally? The bowler of his class will find the way and hopefully it turns out to be this match.
There are no injury concerns in both the camps. You can pick anyone from the squads that we have written at the end of the article.
