NZ vs PAK Dream11 prediction 2nd T20I: Pakistan’s new “high-risk” cricket era under Salman Agha, after the axing of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, started on a bumpy note as they were bowled out for only 91 runs in the first T20I of the five-match series against New Zealand in Christchurch.
New Zealand, despite being bereft of some key players who are in India for IPL 2025, romped home with a nine-wicket win, having 59 balls to spare, to take a 1-0 lead.
The second T20I of the series will be played on Tuesday in Dunedin. Pakistan are likely to bring in Haris Rauf, who was rested from the first T20I as Mohammed Ali made his T20I debut, while the Kiwis are expected to remain unchanged.
New Zealand vs Pakistan T20I head-to-head:
Pakistan and New Zealand have a close head-to-head record in T20Is. Pakistan have 23 wins over the Kiwis and have suffered 20 losses. New Zealand would be aiming to close out this difference in this series.
In New Zealand, though, the hosts have been dominating against Pakistan, winning 8 out of their last 12 encounters at home.
