Our Prediction
New Zealand and Pakistan have an excellent opportunity in hand to boost up their T20 rankings, when they meet for 3-game T20 series starting 15 January 2016. The 1st T20 is scheduled for Eden Park in Auckland.
The Black Caps will be playing opening match as favorites, in view of their recent win over Sri Lanka. They won 7 out of 9 matches, including both T20 games. A complete whitewash in this series will also mean that the team New Zealand’s ICC T20I rankings will be boosted to the top of the points table. In the presence of newly appointed Captain after Brendon McCullum’s retirement, the team looks positive and boasts galore firepower.
The visitors are equally geared up for their forthcoming game. However, they have lesser winning odds in favor as far as New Zealand vs Pakistan 1st T20 match is concerned. Their squad is far from what the team needs at the moment, especially after the controversial recall of Mohammad Amir back into the team (he was banned for five years for spot fixing). Shahid Afridi is set to lead the side. There are good betting odds in favor of the Pakistani player.

New Zealand Team News & Playing 11
Colin Munro has demonstrated powerful batting skills in recent matches, thus, earning high betting odds in favor. Grant Elliot and Corey Anderson are both making a comeback to the team after injury. Their absence from playing XI has not stopped them from garnering favorable betting odds. Another man, Guptill is perhaps having the best phase of his international career and he has high hopes and bets pinned on. The bowling department does not look too shabby either.
The always reliable, Trent Boult is very much a part of the squad. High stakes have been put on him. Matt Henry and Mitchell McClenaghan are the other two bowlers to look up to in Kiwis camp.
Pakistan Team News & Playing 11
There is a long list of players to be missed in the Pakistani team. Though Amir’s comeback has managed to grabb headlines, but it is Afridi, who is the key component of visiting side. Mohd. Hafeez and Shoaib Malik’s presence will also be a great moral booster for the brilliant skipper. Both of these players are counted amongst the best as far betting odds are concerned. Umar Akmal, Anwar Ali and Wahab Riaz are also experienced players who have a key role to play in team’s victory.
There wasn’t any warm-up game in prior to the series, thus, team Pakistan lacks exposure. The visitors may, thus, find it difficult to beat highly confident competitors at home ground.
