Kyle Jamieson joins the squad
Due to this, New Zealand included fast bowler Kyle Jamieson in the team. James Neesham also suffered a wrist injury due to which the team will have to keep an eye on his recovery process.

Bolt and Santner will have to perform their best
This New Zealand bowling unit includes left-arm fast bowler Trent Boult and left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner. They have to give their best against Pakistan.

Ravindra has scored 415 runs in seven matches and he will be desperate to make it a memorable innings. New Zealand will also need contributions from Tom Latham and Will Young.
Pakistan made a tremendous comeback
Pakistan seems to be a strong contender, even if by a small margin. But after four consecutive defeats, even a win against Bangladesh is not enough to overcome its weaknesses. Captain Babar Azam's form has also not been so good because, despite three half-centuries, he has not been able to score a big century. The team will have hopes from Mohammad Rizwan and opener Abdullah Shafiq.
Fakhar Zaman played a brilliant innings
Opener Fakhar Zaman returned after injury and scored 81 runs against Bangladesh, which would have boosted Pakistan's morale. Left-arm fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi is showing signs of reaching his best form, while Mohammad Wasim may have eased Pakistan's worries about additional options in the fast bowling department by taking three wickets against Bangladesh. But their spinners Shadab Khan and Usama Mir have not been able to do well so far.
