Haris Rauf was exceptional in the first game, finishing with figures of 3.3-0-17-4. He came to bowl in the middle overs and did his job with precision. Rauf got the wickets of Tom Latham, James Neesham, Rachin Ravindra and Ben Lister. You should pick him in your fantasy team for the PAK vs NZ game.
#2 Babar Azam (PAK) – 9 credits

Babar Azam hit two glorious fours before getting out to fast bowler Adam Milne. He looked good for the brief while he was there in the middle before getting out.
The right-hander is someone who has not stayed out of form for long, so one can expect him to make a comeback soon. You may pick him in your fantasy team for the PAK vs NZ game.
#1 Matt Henry (NZ) – 7.5 credits

Matt Henry was outstanding in the first game for the Black Caps, picking up a hat-trick.
The speedster finished with figures of 4-0-32-3, getting the wickets of Shadab Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed and Shaheen Shah Afridi. He's likely to bowl at the death, where he could pick up wickets. He should be picked in the fantasy team for the PAK vs NZ game.
