New Zealand team management would have to make a big call while finalizing the opening pair for the upcoming game. While Rachin Ravindra is likely to be the first-choice opener in the New Zealand Playing 11, there are two players in contention for the second opener's spot - Will Young and Devon Conway.
Middle-order batsmen and allrounders: Kane Williamson, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham (wk), Glenn Phillips, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner (c)
The onus to lead the charge with the bat for New Zealand will be on their former captain Kane Williamson. No batter from New Zealand has scored more ODI runs against Pakistan than Williamson and he will be keen to score big against the Men in Green once again.

Bowlers: Matt Henry, Jacob Duffy, Lockie Ferguson
