The 2nd T20I between New Zealand and Pakistan is to be played today in Hamilton. The first game of the five-match series was won by Black Caps by a big margin of 46 runs and the home team will look to do the same to the visitors in the game today. Pressure will be on Shaheen Afridi’s Pakistan as they have consistently lost on this trip Down Under. After loss in 3 Tests in Australia, Pakistan began their short tour of New Zealand with a loss.

Pakistan must make a few changes in their lineup and include either Mohammad Wasim Jr or Zaman Khan as pacers as they are better proponents in T20Is than Aamer Jamal. Abbas Afridi was excellent in the 1st T20I which means he gets to keep his place.
Babar Azam did strike a fifty in 1st match but he needs to play with much more intensity in the 2nd T20I. All eyes will be on Saim Ayub, who looked great in a short stay at the crease. New Zealand are likely to keep the same combinations for the 2nd match as well.
As far as picking a fantasy team is concerned, go for Devon Conway as the captain and Fakhar Zaman as vice-captain. Can risk on Azam Khan as well.
