Player Picks

• Captains
• Budget

Finn Allen

Finn Allen batted nicely in the first T20I. The 25-year-old top-order batter got an unbeaten 29 off 17 balls in a knock which included two fours and two sixes. He averages 43.88 and strikes at 182.02 against Pakistan in the shortest format.

Mohammad Haris

Mohammad Haris could be a key batter for Pakistan at the top of the order. The 23-year-old was out for a duck in the last game but he has the knack of producing brisk starts. He has a career T20 strike-rate of 145.07 and can be the game-changer at the top.

Agha Salman

Salman Ali Agha has played only seven T20Is for Pakistan and has mustered just 68 runs. However, he is a quality player and has the ability to get those impact runs. He can also be handy with his off-spin.

C

Kyle Jamieson

Jacob Duffy bowled superbly in the first T20I. The 30-year-old Kiwis seamer returned with figures of 4/14. He has a good T20I record and has taken 23 wickets from 19 games at an economy of 7.03.

C

Shaheen Afridi

Shaheen Shah Afridi went wicketless in the first game but he was Pakistan’s leading wicket-taker in T20I cricket in 2024. The left-arm fast bowler returned with 36 wickets in 23 outings at an economy of 8.14 and a bowling strike-rate of 13.6.

C

Daryl Mitchell

Daryl Mitchell could be a solid choice for captaincy. Since the start of 2024, he has scored 309 runs in 10 innings while striking at 162.63. He has a good record against Pakistan – 309 runs in 11 games at a strike-rate of 152.21 with three fifties.

Khushdil Shah

Khushdil Shah was the top-scorer for Pakistan in the first game of the series. The 30-year-old left-hander got 32 off 30 balls and hit three sixes. He can be useful with the ball as well if required.

Jacob Duffy

Ben Sears can prove to be a wicket-taking option with the ball for New Zealand. He has fared well in the limited opportunities he's got.

Tim Seifert

Tim Seifert looked in good touch with the bat in the last fixture. The 30-year-old New Zealand top-order batter scored 44 off 29 balls and he struck seven fours along with one six.
