Preview
New Zealand (NZ) will be up against Pakistan (PAK) in the 5th T20I of the Pakistan tour of New Zealand at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch on January 21. This series has been a one-sided affair with all four matches being won by the Kiwis while Pakistan has been struggling to win even one. New Zealand would be keen on winning this match and make a clean sweep of the series.
The last match between the two teams, which was the fourth game of the series was played at the same venue where New Zealand won the toss and elected to field. Pakistan did not start well with the bat, losing Saim Ayub early. However, the partnership between Babar and Rizwan solidified their position. They lost a couple of wickets in the middle overs, but Mohammed Rizwan at one end kept going and was the lone spark for the Pakistani batting line-up. With his unbeaten 90, Pakistan were able to post a total of 158 runs on the board.
As the Kiwi batters came out for the chase, Pakistani captain, Shaheen Afridi took matters into his own hands and bowled some classic swing bowling. After being hit for consecutive boundaries, he went on to scalp Finn Allen, then Tim Seifert and then Will Young as well. New Zealand looked in deep trouble and that is when the experienced duo of Glenn Phillips and Daryl Mitchell calmed the storm for them and built together a stable partnership. After spending some time on the pitch, they started slamming the bowlers around and led the team to win the game by seven wickets with 11 balls to spare.

Player Picks
Finn Allen NZ | BAT
Allen has been absolutely sensational in this series with a total of 253 runs comprising a century and half-century each. He should be the captain of your fantasy side.
Babar Azam PAK | BAT
Babar has been the most consistent player in this tournament with the bat. He has slammed three fifties amassing a total of 200 runs making him a perfect pick for captaincy roles.
Tim Southee NZ | BOWL
Southee has been bowling excellently in this series and has as many as eight scalps to his name. He has been the most successful bowler of the series so far.
Mohammad Rizwan PAK | WK
Rizwan was brilliant in the last match as he smashed 90 runs off 61 balls and remained unbeaten. He can fetch in hefty fantasy points with his wicketkeeping skills as well.
Shaheen Afridi PAK | BOWL
Afridi has been bowling well and has scalped seven wickets with an economy of 9.56 in four games. He has scored 38 runs with the bat too, leading his side from the front.
Mitchell Santner NZ | ALL
Santner has not been able to contribute much but has played quickfire innings with the bat. He has scored 29 runs and has taken a wicket so far in three games.
Adam Milne NZ | BOWL
Milne has picked up seven wickets with an economy of 11 in three matches of the series. He can swing his bat around when needed as well.

Haris has been smashed for runs but has been picking up wickets in return as well. He has taken away seven wickets with an economy of 10.62 in four games.
Glenn Phillips NZ | WK
Phillips played a match-winning knock in the last game and can be a great budget pick for the team. He has scored 121 runs at a strike rate of 139.08 in four matches.
Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Mark Chapman
NZ | ALL
Chapman has not looked good in this tournament with only 31 runs to his name so far. He should not find a place in your team.
Iftikhar Ahmed
PAK | ALL
Iftikhar too has failed time and again in this series. He should not be picked up in your fantasy team.
