NZ vs PAK Dream11 Prediction: Dream11 Team Today, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report, Injury Update - ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, Super 8

The Super 8 clash between the New Zealand national cricket team and the Pakistan national cricket team is scheduled at the R. Premadasa Stadium. Both sides are entering the second stage of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup on the back of a competitive group-stage performance. New Zealand advanced into the Super 8s after a strong showing from Finn Allen and Tim Seifert, and lost their only group encounter against the Proteas.

Pakistan, meanwhile, came back impressively after losing against the Men in Blue and has relied heavily on the batting of Sahibzada Farhan. With the ball, Usman Tariq and Shadab Khan have been the standouts.

Historically, recent T20 meetings slightly favour New Zealand, but Pakistan are marginally ahead in the overall head-to-head record. Conditions in Colombo traditionally offer true bounce early before slowing down, bringing spinners into play. For the NZ vs PAK Dream11 team prediction, Saim Ayub and Glenn Phillips are the ideal candidates for Dream11 captaincy, while Tim Seifert and Shadab Khan should be considered as vice-captains.
