NZ vs PAK Dream11 Team:
Batsmen – Azhar Ali [81], Haris Sohail [147] and Babar Azam [127] had a great outing in the last game, so did Ross Taylor [80], Henry Nicolls [77] and Tom Latham [50]. Kane Williamson had a rare off game at Abu Dhabi. Expect him to come up with the goods in the series decider.
Wicket-keeper – Sarfaraz Ahmed has been in good form since the Australia series. He is an ideal pick for the all-rounder’s spot.
All-rounder – None of the all-rounder’s in de Granddhomme, Hafeez and Bilal Asif has done anything substantial thus far. You can opt for any of them in your Dream11 side.
Bowlers – Once again the spinners are expected to rule the roost in Abu Dhabi. Making Yasir Shah, Ajaz Patel or Ish Sodhi could help you reap high points in your Dream11 side. From the fast bowlers, with the participation of Abbas in doubt, Trent Boult and Neil Wagner are safe bets.
