Led by Michael Bracewell, New Zealand are coming into this encounter after defeating Pakistan in two consecutive encounters. While they staged a nine-wicket win in the first T20I, they secured a five-wicket victory in the second T20I in a 15-over contest due to rain.

On the other hand, the Agha Salman-led Pakistan team is failing to create an impact in all three departments of the game. They would be aiming to turn the tables in this affair and reduce the Kiwis domination.

The Auckland surface is expected to give a good game time for batters while bowlers need to toil hard to scalp timely wickets and contain the run-flow. Any score above 200 would be a bit tough for the chasing side.
