NZ vs PAK Dream11 Prediction Today | Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report – Pakistan Tour of New Zealand, 3rd ODI

Match Preview

The agony for Pakistan is about to end as they play their last match of this tour. With just one victory in 7 matches across two formats, the once powerhouse of world cricket has a lot to ponder over. The team has ensured successive failures over the last few months and will make one final push to redeem themselves.

On the other hand, the Black Caps seem to have recovered well from the disappointing loss in the Champions Trophy Finals to stamp their authority at home. This will be their final match of the summer season and will be hoping to sign off on a high.

Injuries & Illnesses

Mark Chapman missed the previous match but is expected to be available for this one. From the Pakistan camp, Usman Khan is nursing a muscle tear, and updates regarding his availability are awaited. Haris Rauf retired hurt after suffering a concussion and his availability is also doubtful.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

The pitch at Bay Oval is good to bat on. The flat and firm surface offers excellent pace and bounce allowing the batsmen to play their shots. There is some rain forecast on the day before the match and that could bring in some moisture, and the quicker bowlers can expect movement off the seam with the new ball. Nevertheless, scoring 300 runs isn’t out of the question at this venue.

On matchday, the sky is likely to be cloudy but rain is not expected.

NZ vs PAK Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Mitchell Hay played well in the last match. Given Mohammad Rizwan’s poor form, Hay could be a better choice here.

Batters

Mark Chapman is likely to be fit for this game and is our first choice. The other batsmen include Daryl Mitchell and Nathan Kelly. Babar Azam, though not in good form, is a quality batsman who is worth including.

All Rounders

The all-rounders have had an underwhelming series. Nevertheless, Muhammad Abbas, Agha Salman, and Michael Bracewell can impact the game with the bat as well as the ball.

Bowlers

The seamers have enjoyed plenty of success in the two games. Ben Sears picked up a fifer in the last match, while Jacob Duffy has settled into a good rhythm. With Haris Rauf not 100% fit, Naseem Shah could be a worthy replacement.

NZ vs PAK Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

We are going with Mitchell Hay to lead our team. He batted well in the previous match and can play the big shots with ease. He is also sharp behind the stumps and can earn valuable points.

Vice-Captain

Jacob Duffy has picked up at least two wickets in both games and has been quite economical as well. As the pitch is expected to help the seamers, Duffy can make an impact with the new ball.

NZ vs PAK Team Expert Advice

With Pakistan struggling on this tour, we have included plenty of New Zealanders in our team as they have largely dominated the proceedings. The batsmen are likely to enjoy plenty of success and we can expect another high-scoring game.

The spinners have struggled throughout this series and we therefore recommend picking up seamers instead.
