NZ vs PAK Dream11 Team Prediction: After a resounding win over India in their first match, Pakistan would be full of confidence as they take on New Zealand in their second Super 12 stage fixture, on Tuesday, October 26.
The match will be played at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium and is scheduled to start at 7:30 pm IST (Indian Standard Time).
A complete team performance outlined Pakistan’s historic and memorable win over India in the T20 World Cup 2021 clash in Dubai and Babar Azam and co would try their best to carry on with the momentum received as the tournament progresses. In one night, the 2009 champions rose from one of the main competitors to the stature of a title favourite and they would be keen on maintaining that tag, albeit unknowingly.
New Zealand on the other hand, lost both their warm matches and they need to work hard in order to outclass an in-form Pakistan side. Both sides have a lot of batsmen who can change gears at any time.

PAK vs NZ Best Picks:
Wicketkeeper
Devon Conway: Devon Conway has been brilliant throughout his tenure with the national side, with his ability to score big runs at a quick rate holding him in good stead. With Conway likely to bat in the top order, the southpaw should get the nod over Mohammad Rizwan, who isn’t a bad option himself.
Batter
Babar Azam: Babar Azam is one of the best batters in the world with his numbers speaking for themselves. In fact, Azam’s last outing against New Zealand in an ICC event saw him score a superb hundred, something he would love to replicate in this mouthwatering clash.
All-rounder
Mitchell Santner: Mitchell Santner has been New Zealand’s go-to spinner for quite some time with his stump-to-stump bowling and experience serving him well. Santner’s handy batting ability also adds value to his case for an inclusion to your PAK vs NZ Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Shaheen Afridi: Like Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi also had a breakout performance the last time he faced New Zealand in an ICC event. Since then, Shaheen has grown in leaps and bounds over the last two years. With his undeniable ability to pick up wickets in both the powerplay and death overs, Shaheen is a must-have in your PAK vs NZ Dream11 fantasy team.
