New Zealand vs Pakistan Team News
Pakistan enter the Super 8s following a reshuffled line-up that saw captain Babar Azam demoted in the batting order to bolster the middle-run rate. The inclusion of young talent Khawaja Nafay has added aggression to the top order, while the bowling unit remains spearheaded by the experienced Shaheen Shah Afridi.
New Zealand, led by Mitchell Santner, welcome their captain back into the starting XI after he missed the final group game due to a brief illness. The Black Caps are expected to rely heavily on their spin department, with Ish Sodhi likely to play a major role on a Colombo surface that traditionally offers significant assistance to slow bowlers.
