NZ vs PAK 1st T20 Probable Playing XI, Preview | Boult was Rested

NZ vs PAK 1st T20 Team Prediction, Probable Playing XI : Preview

Welcome to our Preview for NZ vs PAK 1st T20. The match will be played at Westpac Stadium, Wellington. These are our Predictions for Dream11 Cricket Team and Probable Playing XI for New Zealand vs Pakistan 1st T20.

The Pakistani team is still looking for a win in ODIs, and they are not getting any. A whitewash in a 5 match series against New Zealand means they are doing something extremely wrong with their execution of the plans. They will wish the shortest format bringing them some luck.

New Zealand on the other hand is having a dream home run. Playing a lot of matches, a lot of cricket going on with Kiwis winning most of them. That’s a great sight for any cricket playing nation, and will surely help NZ Cricket.

Coming to the series, the three T20 series is a question of respect for Pakistan. They’ll try to make the most out of their all rounder heavy team. On the other side is this on song New Zealand team, with every part well organised and working perfectly. NZ go in as favourites for the 1st T20.

Player to Watch :
