Preview
New Zealand (NZ) will be hosting Pakistan (PAK) in the second T20I match of the Tri-Series tournament at Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Saturday. New Zealand won their last T20I series against West Indies and also sealed the ODI series. But they lost the ODI series against Australia by 3-0 which hamper their preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022 tournament.
Pakistan returned to winning ways with a big win against Bangladesh in the first match of this series, after their 3-4 defeat in a seven-match T20I series against England at home. The in-form opener Mohammad Rizwan smashed unbeaten 78 runs off 50 balls to guide Pakistan to a big total of 167/5 while batting first. Then young pacer Mohammad Wasim took three wickets to restrict Bangladesh to just 146/8 to secure a crucial 21-run win.

Player Picks
Mohammad Rizwan PAK | WK
The star wicketkeeper batter continues his red-hot form with another big knock of unbeaten 78 runs off 50 balls in the first match of this tri-series tournament against Bangladesh. Rizwan has now scored four fifties in his last six T20I innings.
Glenn Phillips NZ | WK
The in-form Kiwi all-rounder was excellent against West Indies in New Zealand's latest T20I series. He scored the highest 134 runs in three innings at an average of 44.66 and an impressive strike rate of 171.79.
Babar Azam PAK | BAT
Pakistani skipper started well in the first match against Bangladesh with 22 runs off 25 balls but failed to convert it into a big knock. Babar is in good form recently with 285 runs in seven innings against England in the last T20I series.
Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Asif Ali
PAK | BAT
The experienced finisher is struggling for big knocks and was bowled out on just four runs in the last match against Bangladesh. He scored only 34 runs in four innings against England and should be avoided for this fixture.
Haider Ali
PAK | BAT
The young middle-order batter continues to struggle for consistency with just six runs off six balls in the last match against Bangladesh. Haider has scored only 21 runs in his last five T20I matches.
