PAK vs NZ Dream11 Prediction, 1st T20I: Pakistan vs New Zealand Fantasy Cricket Tips, Probable Playing XI, Pitch Report, Player Records/Stats, Injury and Match Updates
PAK vs NZ: New Zealand will lock horns against Pakistan in the 1st T20I of the New Zealand tour of Pakistan, 2023 on Friday, April 14, 2023, at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore.
Pakistan is heading into the upcoming series on the back of a defeat to Afghanistan in their last T20I series. The return of experienced players like Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Haris Rauf, and Shaheen Afridi are expected to bolster the team’s morale.
New Zealand, on the other hand, emerged victorious in their last T20I series against Sri Lanka with a 2-1 scoreline. Tom Latham will be leading New Zealand in the absence of Kane Williamson. This will be a bit inexperienced side and will be looking to give a neck-to-neck fight to star-studded Pakistan.
Here are the match details, pitch report, probable playing 11, squads, player records/stats and dream11 fantasy team predictions for the 1st T20I of the New Zealand tour of Pakistan, 2023.
