NZ vs PAK Dream11 prediction 5th T20I

NZ vs PAK Dream11 prediction 5th T20I: Hosts New Zealand bounced back from the loss in the third T20I to win the fourth T20I and sealed the five-match series against Pakistan, having taken a lead of 3-1, with one game to go.

In Mount Maunganui, the Kiwis were powered to a total of 220 by Finn Allen’s 50, Tim Seifert’s 44, and captain Michael Bracewell’s 46, before the bowlers bundled Pakistan for only 105, helping New Zealand record a huge win by 115 runs. Jacob Duffy and Zakary Foulkes shared seven wickets between them.

This was a Kiwi bowling attack in the absence of Kyle Jamieson and Matt Henry, who both were not named in the squad for the fourth and fifth T20Is.

The Sky Stadiu in Wellington is a batting-friendly venue and can offer a high-scoring encounter. In the last T20I here, last February, Australia chased down the target of 216 runs.

New Zealand vs Pakistan Dream11 Captaincy Prediction:

Once again, New Zealand opener Tim Seifert is an excellent captaincy option. He is the leading run-scorer of the ongoing series, but has not managed to reach the half-century mark, having recorded three scores in the 40s. He has an impressive T20 record at the Sky Stadium: an average of 40 and a strike rate of 144 with two fifties in seven innings.
