PAK vs NZ Key Players

Babar Azam

Babar Azam’s captaincy across format has been in discussion for a while. He is now set to take the field though with his captaincy role in place after all the discussions, and Babar will hope to get started with regular service as he looks to cut out the outside noise.

Daryl Mitchell

Mitchell has proven to be a silent but important member of the side over the last year. He has produced some crucial knocks in the middle order when the other players failed to deliver. Now, with Williamson and Conway out, Mitchell will have some added responsibility and could be backed to do the hard work.

PAK vs NZ Match Tips
