Preview

New Zealand (NZ) will be hosting Pakistan (PAK) in the second T20I match of the Tri-Series tournament at Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Saturday. New Zealand won their last T20I series against West Indies and also sealed the ODI series. But they lost the ODI series against Australia by 3-0 which hamper their preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022 tournament. 

Pakistan returned to winning ways with a big win against Bangladesh in the first match of this series, after their 3-4 defeat in a seven-match T20I series against England at home. The in-form opener Mohammad Rizwan smashed unbeaten 78 runs off 50 balls to guide Pakistan to a big total of 167/5 while batting first. Then young pacer Mohammad Wasim took three wickets to restrict Bangladesh to just 146/8 to secure a crucial 21-run win.

Asif Ali

PAK | BAT

The young middle-order batter continues to struggle for consistency with just six runs off six balls in the last match against Bangladesh. Haider has scored only 21 runs in his last five T20I matches.
