PK-A vs NZ-A Dream11 Predictions

New Zealand A tour of the UAE, 2018

Pakistan A vs New Zealand A, 1st Unofficial T20 | PK-A vs NZ-A WHO WILL WIN

The Big Picture

New Zealand A will kickstart their month-long sojourn of the UAE on Friday, October 12, when they lock horns with Pakistan A in the first unofficial T20 at the ICC Academy in Dubai on Friday.

The 3-match unofficial T20 series will be succeeded by a 3-match ODI series and a 2-match Test series at Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

Chance for the likes of Amin to impress

Pakistan has named a 13-member squad for the T20 series which will be spearheaded by Umar Amin. Amin, who was a member of the 2008 U-19 World Cup squad was earmarked as the next big thing in Pakistan cricket. But after 4 Tests (average of 12.38) and 16 ODIs, the last of which came against New Zealand earlier this year, things have not materialised thus far and the series gives Amin an opportunity to stake his claim back into the national side on the back of consistent performances in this series.

Besides Amin, the squad consists of players like Sahibzada Farhan, Hussain Talat, who made his debut for Pakistan in the T20 format of the game this year and Shaheen Shah Afridi, who impressed with his raw pace in the recently concluded Asia Cup.

Black Caps bank on a mixture of youth and experience

New Zealand A, meanwhile, have named a 15-man squad for the series with a side boasting of an amalgamation of International stars like Mark Chapman, Lockie Ferguson, Corey Anderson and newbies like Indian-origin left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel, who has been named in New Zealand’s’ side for their tour of the UAE as a replacement for Mitchell Santner.

The series provides players from both the sides an opportunity to impress selectors before their senior sides’ lock horns next month.

Wicket-keeper – There is nothing much to separate between Tim Seifert and Mohammad Hasan (S/R:- 152.83). You can choose either of them in your fantasy XI.

Batsmen– Corey Anderson (S/R of 143.23 in 119 T20s) is coming off an imperious T20 Blast campaign. He, along with Umar Amin (S/R of 122.66 in 81 T20s), Glenn Philips (S/R of 137.07 in 43 T20s), who had a great run at the 2018 CPL are a must in your fantasy XI. Asif Ali, hard-hitting batsmen for Pakistan, who has risen through the ranks on the back of his imperious hitting in the PSL isn’t a bad choice either for your Fantasy XI.

All-rounder– Hussain Talat is a safe bet for the all-rounder’s spot.
