NZ vs PAK Match Preview
Pakistan's top order, Babat and Rizwan, has dominated the series so far. They are both in good form and you have to have them in your Dream11 lineup even though they are going to be present in most teams. All-rounners like Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawz are worth consideration but the Pakistani bowlers may be where the real value is. Someone like Mohammad Wasim Jr continues to do well in every match but is not very expensive to buy.
Devon Conway stands out among the New Zealand batsmen. All-rounders like Glenn Phillips, Jimmy Neesham, and Mark Chapman are all also good options. The New Zealand bowling lineup keeps changing but someone with extra pace like Adam Milne and a proven wicket-taker like Tim Southee should on the list.
Weather Report
The weather forecast for the match is good. No rain is expected.
Pitch Report
The pitch is fast and bouncy. It does not have much help for the spinners but the large boundaries makes them effective. Batters at the top of the order have done the best on this surface.

Dream11 Prediction
New Zeland and Pakistan are quite closely matched. Another close game between the two is expected. We think the total runs scored will continue to be a bit below what is normally expected in a T20 match.
Top Picks
Glenn Phillips - Phillips is in great form. He scores runs quickly and is good against all kinds of bowling. A good person to have in yoir Dream11 team as he will not be very highly owned.
Mohammad Wasim Jr. - He has taken the most wickets in the Tri-Series so far. He is also not very expensive so you can buy other good players as well.
