Pakistan vs New Zealand: Players to watch out for
Pakistan:
Fakhar Zaman has done well in the series with the bat and will be handy for the team not just in this game but in the Champions Trophy too.
Mohammad Rizwan, the skipper, helped the team with another 100 against South Africa. Expect him to do well in this match too.
Salman Ali Agha also scored a hundred and is a proven middle-order batter, who can win matches for his side.
New Zealand:
Lockie Ferguson has troubled Pakistani batters with his pace over the years.
Daryl Mitchell has been in great form and has been doing well in the middle-order so far.
Glenn Phillips scored his maiden hundred against Pakistan and expect another fireworks from him.

Pakistan has a great H2H record against the Kiwis but the unpredictable nature of the Asian side means that they can lose from any situation. New Zealand might come up trumps in this match.
