– Kane Williamson looks safest captain pick in SL considering his good H2H numbers and consistency with the bat.
– Mohammad Hafeez played a sensational knock in the last match so we can expect to see something like that in this game too.
– Mohammad Rizwan looked in good touch in both the last matches so he might play a good knock in this game.
– Shadab Khan can be another good pick as he’s batting up the order & bowling 2-3 overs too.
– Trent Boult & Kuggeleijn both gone wicket less in the last game so we can expect them to be amongst the wickets in this match.

– Martin Guptill can be a good punt VC as he has been good in H2H matches & failing from last two matches too.
– Dropped Seifert as he might not score that big in three consecutive matches.
– Glenn Phillips & Haider Ali both can be good punts.
– Faheem Ashraf is getting promoted to bat up & bowling some overs too so he might be another good pick.

– Expecting a fighting game from PAK so gone with 6-5 combination in GL in favour of them.
– Shadab Khan can be a good captain pick in GL as he can play a top knock especially while batting first & bowling 2-3 overs too.
– Abdullah Shafiq got out at duck in both the last matches so he might play at least a decent knock in this game.
