Captaincy picks: 

Mohammad Rizwan

Mohammad Rizwan rediscovered his lost touch as he came to the format that has suited him the most. He did not have an ODI series to remember, although in the first T20I, he was in his elements as he notched up a match-winning half-century.

Aiden Markram

Aiden Markram was fluent in his 51-run knock from 32 deliveries, which included eight fours and a six. He was involved in a crucial third-wicket stand of 62 from 33 alongside skipper Heinrich Klassen. Expect him to fire once again at the top of the order as his team eyes a comeback in the second fixture.
