Preview
Pakistan and New Zealand are currently playing a five-match T20I series, with the first game being washed out due to rain. Pakistan won the second match by seven wickets. It is a huge series for both sides, with the T20I World Cup set to start in under a month. While the Pakistani side has a few of its key stars back, the Kiwis are without their big-name players who are taking part in the IPL.
Pakistan (PAK) and Babar Azam will want to get some game time considering there is a paucity of international cricket right now. After the first game got washed out, the home team will have to hope that the weather clears up for a full game of cricket on Saturday. With Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Amir, and Naseem Shah heading the bowling attack, the Pakistani side is a very dangerous team for any opposition.
New Zealand (NZ) comes into the tour under the captaincy of Michael Bracewell, who himself is making a comeback after a year. James Neesham and Ish Sodhi are the only two players with considerable experience in the squad. While a series win may be out of the question, most of the youngsters in the Kiwi camp will use this tour as an experience.

Player Picks
Babar Azam PAK | BAT
The Pakistani skipper has been in decent nick with the bat during the recent PSL 2024 tournament. The added responsibility of leading his side will weight heavy on Babar Azam. Pakistan will hope that Babar Azam can score some runs with the huge T20I World Cup around the corner.
Mark Chapman NZ | ALL
In the absence of some of their big stars, New Zealand will be heavily dependent on Mark Chapman. The batter is one of the most accomplished against both pace and spin and has the penchant to score big runs.
Mohammad Rizwan PAK | WK
If Babar Azam is batting well how can we forget Mohammad Rizwan. The Pakistani wicketkeeper has been in great form with the bat in the last few months. The right-handed batter has the ability to score runs at a quick pace and force the pressure back onto the opposition.
Shaheen Afridi PAK | BOWL
The left-arm pacer is a threat with the ball no matter which format of the game. in the first game which was abandoned, Afridi got the wicket of Tim Seifert with his now famous in-swinger. Shaheen Afridi will want to put the past of the captaincy controversy behind and pick wickets for his team.
Ish Sodhi NZ | BOWL
The leg-spinner is one of the most potent threats for Pakistan with the ball during this series. The 32-year-old relies more on his variety and has the ability to beat the batter in the air with his flight.
Naseem Shah PAK | BOWL
After a successful comeback to cricket during PSL 2024, Naseem Shah will hope to do the same in international cricket. Pakistan had missed his services with the bat as it was evident during the ODI World Cup 2023 tournament.
Iftikhar Ahmed PAK | ALL
The veteran Pakistani batter was entrusted with the role of the finisher for his side during PSL 2024. The men in green are very well wary of the talents that Iftikhar Ahmed has and what he brings to the table with his big hits.
James Neesham NZ | ALL
Veteran New Zealand star James Neesham will be looking to make use of this trip to stake claim for selection. The left-handed batter has been scoring runs at the domestic level but it is international form that is in need of runs and wickets.
Tim Seifert NZ | WK
The-year-old star has long been called as one of the best attacking batters in New Zealand. This tour of Pakistan gives Seifert a chance to finally show why those tags arenāt just a material for hype.
Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Mohammad Amir
PAK | BOWL
The veteran pacer is back to international cricket after four years. While he has been bowling well in the PSL, it is the international format that could prove to be difficult for the 32-year-old.
Dean Foxcroft
NZ | ALL
New Zealand selectors have shown great faith in young Dean Foxcroft. The right-handed batter hasnāt been in great form in recent time but with his talents, Foxcroft could be a player to be reckoned with in the years to come.
