Preview

In the ongoing five-match T20I series, the (NZ vs PAK) visitors like a rash. The Men in Green realised they needed to make a significant change after losing to the USA and India in the T20 World Cup 2024 group stage, but the effects are not being seen in the game’s shortest format.

Referring back to this series, Pakistan lost badly in the first match. The Black Caps chased the total in the game’s eleventh over after the Men in Green were bowled out for a mere 91 runs. In the second Twenty20 International, the hosts also won by five wickets. In the 15-over match, the Green Army amassed 135 runs. The Black Caps took a 2-0 lead after chasing down a low-scoring total in just 13.1 overs.

In the third Twenty20 International match, which is scheduled for March 21 at Eden Park in Auckland, New Zealand will play Pakistan in an attempt to seal the series against Salman Ali Agha and his team. In the absence of certain major names, the home team, New Zealand, will be aiming for the trophy after winning the first two games.

Pitch Report

Eden Park is generally known as the graveyard for the bowlers, mainly due to the dimensions of the stadium. The Auckland deck has a bit of spongy bounce and batters, who generally prefer to play on top of the bounce succeed here.

Player Picks

• Top
• Captains
• Budget

Finn Allen

Finn Allen has been batting really well. The 25-year-old top-order batter has aggregated 67 runs in two games while striking at 203.03. He has struck seven sixes and three fours.

Agha Salman

Salman Ali Agha led from the front in the last match. The Pakistan T20I skipper was the top-scorer for his side as he scored 46 off 28 balls in a knock which included four fours and three sixes.

Khushdil Shah

Khushdil Shah could be an effective pick. The left-arm spinning all-rounder has scored 34 runs in two games at a strike-rate of 106.25. He bowled in just one game and took 1/16 from three overs.

C

Jacob Duffy

Kyle Jamieson has been in excellent T20 form. The tall 30-year-old pacer returned with figures of 4-1-8-3 in the first T20I. He also performed quite well in the recent Super Smash T20 where he took 14 wickets in 12 games at an economy rate of 5.95.

C

Shaheen Afridi

Shaheen Shah Afridi could be a solid choice as vice-captain. The premier Pakistan left-arm fast bowler has not picked any wickets in this series. However, he was Pakistan’s leading wicket-taker in T20Is last year - 36 wickets in 23 games at an economy of 8.14.

C

Tim Seifert

Tim Seifert is in splendid touch with the bat and has made an excellent comeback to the T20I setup. He has racked up 89 runs in two innings in this series and he is striking at 174.50. He has smashed 10 fours and six sixes.

Ben Sears

Jacob Duffy has been in superb form with the ball and hence, he will be a top captaincy candidate. The 30-year-old pacer has returned with six wickets in just two games at an economy rate of 5.10. He has 25 scalps in 20 T20Is in his career so far.

Jimmy Neesham

Jimmy Neesham could be a utility option. The experienced New Zealand all-rounder picked up two wickets from three overs in the last game. He can go big with the bat as well in the middle-order.

Shadab Khan

Shadab Khan got a very attractive 26 off 14 deliveries in the second T20I and struck two sixes along with two fours. He can be expected to fire with the bat and he can be useful with his leg-spin as well.
