• All-rounders: Mitchell Santner, Michael Bracewell, Glenn Phillips, Agha Salman (captain)
• Bowler: Shaheen Afridi 

Dream11 Prediction: Pakistan have a number of issues to address. Their main player, Babar Azam, is not scoring runs and taking wickets in the middle overs, which is their biggest problem. New Zealand have ticked all the boxes, and beating Pakistan recently must have boosted their confidence. Hence, we predict New Zealand to win here.
