PAK Playing XI vs NZ: What to expect?

Fakhar Zaman set to keep his place after scoring 81 against Bangladesh. Imam ul Haq set to be overlooked.

Usama Mir to retain his place in the team in place of Mohammad Nawaz. A call on Shadab Khan to be taken before the toss.

Mohammad Wasim Jnr to play in place of Hassan Ali. Shaheen Afridi to lead the pace attack, with Haris Rauf.

Speaking about the batters, the middle order is to be the same as Saud Shakeel, Iftikhar Ahmed, and Mohammad Rizwan to play.

Considering the Bengaluru pitch will turn, Pakistan might be tempted to play Nawaz at the expense of one of the batters.

Pakistan is currently fifth on the points table with six points. After the match against New Zealand, they will play their last league game against England.

Pakistan Squad: Abdullah Shafique, Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam(c), Mohammad Rizwan(wk), Iftikhar Ahmed, Saud Shakeel, Agha Salman, Shaheen Afridi, Usama Mir, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Haris Rauf, Shadab Khan, Imam-ul-Haq, Mohammad Nawaz, Hasan Ali
