Preview: Kiwi hungry for T20 success, will look for consistency.
Dubai, 1st T20, 04th December' 2014.
Arch rivals face each other after Kiwis registered handsome victory in test match. It has been a tough time to play cricket after Phillip Hughes‘ demise, but New Zealand came up with an inspiring performance by the Kiwis in the third Test at Sharjah where they clobbered Pakistan by aninnings and 80 runs. After equalling the Test series 1-1, it will be interesting to see how both teams get into the T20 format.
New Zealand have rested their mainstay, McCullum and Southee but they will be boosted by presence of limited over specialists. However, pakistan have excellent match winner in their own like
Afridi, Hafeez and Gul.
Pakistan will be lead by Shahid Afridi in the two T20I matches. Pakistan last played a lone T20I against Australia at Dubai in which they only managed to scramble 96 for the loss of nine wickets batting first. In the end they were defeated by six wickets. Pakistan will see return of Umar Gul and Wahab Riaz in the team. Gul is making a comeback to Paksitan ODI and T20I team after he last played in the ICC World Twenty20 earlier this year. Ahmed Shehzad who hit on the head in the the second Test by Corey Anderson is included in the squad. They have also included opener Awais Zia who featured in the lone T20I against Australia but failed to impress.
Pakistan have only won two of the five T20Is they have played this year while New Zealand have won five out of the eight matches they played.
Both team start favorite, and it is really very difficult to predict the winner. Expect to be high scoring match and take batsman and all rounders.
