Preview
Pakistan (PAK) will host New Zealand (NZ) in the third T20I match at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium on Monday, April 17. Pakistan won the second T20I to take a 2-0 lead in the three-match series win as they proved their dominance at home against the Kiwis, who are missing the majority of key players for this tour.
Babar Azam played a captain's knock by smashing an unbeaten century, and Mohammad Rizwan scored 50 off 34 to help Pakistan score 192/4 while batting first. Matt Henry picked two wickets for 29, but the likes of Henry Shipley and Ben Lister struggled for wickets for New Zealand.
New Zealand openers started well to provide a promising start while Mark Chapman smashed 65* off 40, but Haris Rauf struck back with four wickets to restrict the Black Caps to just 154/7 to earn a 38-run win. Imad Wasim, Zaman Khan, and Shadab Khan also shone with a wicket, while Shaheen Afridi bowled an economically impressive spell. Pakistan have won four of their last five T20I games against New Zealand and are favourites to win this game and clinch a series as well.

Player Picks
Babar Azam PAK | BAT
The star Pakistani skipper registered his third T20I century as he smashed 101* off 58 with the help of 11 fours and three sixes in the last game. Babar has scored two fifties and a century in his last five overall innings and will be a safe captaincy choice on the Dream11 Team.
Mohammad Rizwan PAK | WK
The top-ranked Pakistani opener scored 50 off 34 to provide a great start for his team in the last game. Rizwan entered this series after a sensational season in PSL 2023 with 550 runs from 12 innings.
Daryl Mitchell NZ | ALL
The Kiwi batting all-rounder scored just nine runs and has managed to score 20 runs in this series so far. But Mitchell remains a key batter for Kiwis in the absence of key players and should be in the Dream11 Team at any cost.
