Pakistan A departed on a tour of New Zealand a couple of weeks ago and since then, they’ve been enjoying a pretty successful tour so far. They won the first and only unofficial test against New Zealand A by 89 runs only to then lose the 1st T20 against Northern knights by 21 runs. Clearly, these pitches have been good for those choosing to bat first in New Zealand.
Now, they move on to the 2nd unofficial T20 against another NZ domestic franchise team in Wellington Firebirds. This team is topping the 2020/21 Super Smash points table right now and the game today is taking place at the Basin Reserve in Wellington. Keep reading for our complete BatBall11 (Code “READ123“) fantasy preview of the WF vs PK-A game…

Stats that matter
- Wellington Firebirds – 2 wins in 2 games in the Super Smash.
- Devon Conway – six 40+ scores in last 8 innings.
- Rachin Ravindra scores in last 2 games – 4 and 3.
Wellington Firebirds
One of the most talented batsmen in this team has to be Devon Conway who recently punished the Pakistanis after recently making his international debut in that T20Is series and has been in amazing form in recent weeks. Though he hasn’t got any wicket in his last couple of games, Michael Bracewell is someone who contributes with both bat and ball and he’s sure to be in the playing eleven too because he’s leading the team.
Opening the innings for Wellington, Rachin Ravindra has usually been great for years and now when he’s not scoring runs, he’s still managed to get 2 wickets in 2 games in the 2020/21 Super Smash T20 so far, so he’s worth picking as fantasy captain or vice-captain too. If you want an additional bowling option, pick Peter Younghusband who won’t be a popular fantasy pick and that’s what makes him a good selection for you.
Pakistan A
One of the first players I’m adding to our BatBall11 (Code “READ123“) WF vs PK-A fantasy team is Khushdil Shah who had 3 starts in the T20I series against New Zealand and scored 25 in the game against Northern Knights as well, along with a wicket to his name. Another player with similar all-round abilities is Iftikhar Ahmed who hasn’t been bowling much of late and hasn’t been scoring runs either, but he’s one hell of a hitter!

If you want an additional batting pick, choose Haider Ali because he’s one of the brightest talents in the country and scored a fifty batting as an opener in the last T20 as well. With the ball, two of their best bowlers got a whacking in the last game with Mohammad Hasnain being smashed for 58 runs in 4 overs, while being wicketless. That’s a good reason to pick him while Haris Rauf is another good bowling pick.
