NZ vs PAK Dream11 match top picks
Top Wicketkeeper Pick
Devon Conway (2 matches, 106 runs, Average: 106.00)
Devon Conway was the standout batter in New Zealand's win over Bangladesh, scoring a 51-ball 70. He averages a whopping 50.88 in 25 T20Is, striking at 136. He has a good record at the Hagley Oval as well, scoring 205 runs in three matches, including his T20I career best of 99*. Given his form and record, Conway should be a good pick for your NZ vs PAK Dream11 prediction team.
Top Batter Pick
Shan Masood (2 matches, 31 runs, Average: 15.50)
Shan Masood is yet to get going in the series, scoring only 31 runs in two matches. However, he has shown glimpses of his ability, coming up with four scores of 20 or more in his last nine T20I matches. With New Zealand likely to deploy spinner in the middle overs, Masood could be a handy pick in your NZ vs PAK Dream11 prediction team.
Top All-rounder Pick
Shadab Khan (2 matches, 34 runs, 1 wicket)
Shadab Khan was promoted to No. 4 in the previous game against New Zealand, against whom he scored an impactful 22-ball 34. While his batting presents a viable counterattacking option in the middle overs, Shadab's bowling will be key. He averages 21.80 with the ball in T20Is with a strike rate of 18.44. Given the conditions on offer, Shadab is a must-have in your NZ vs PAK Dream11 prediction team.
Top Bowler Pick
Trent Boult (2 matches, 3 wickets, Average: 15.67)
Trent Boult has been impressive in this tri-series, picking up three wickets in two matches so far. He has an economy rate of 5.88 in the series, using his experience and the new ball to good effect. With Boult likely to bowl predominantly in the powerplay and death overs, he should be a good wicket-taking option for your NZ vs BAN Dream11 prediction team.
NZ vs PAK match captain and vice-captain choices
Mohammad Rizwan
Mohammad Rizwan has been in sensational form of late, scoring six fifties in his last 10 matches. Although he scored only four runs against the Kiwis in the previous game, he averages 42.80 in six T20Is in New Zealand. Given Rizwan's form and expertise, he is bound to be a popular captaincy option in NZ vs PAK Dream11 prediction teams.
Kane Williamson
Kane Williamson scored 30 runs against Bangladesh. While his strike rate is a concern, Williamson has a decent average of 32.19 in 79 T20Is. He has scored 470 runs in 16 T20Is against Pakistan - his highest tally against any country, making him a viable option as captain or vice-captain in your NZ vs PAK Dream11 prediction team.
