4. Trent Boult vs Azhar Ali
Brutal, lethal and devastating are few synonyms used for Trent Boult. The bowler who could swing the ball with some sharp pace and who is also capable of bothering the batsman with some bouncers too, can surely be Kane’s go to man in the series. Acting as partnership breaker on often times, Trent’s strength will be tested against Pakistan’s opening batsman Azhar Ali.
Ali, who recently became the fourth Pakistan batsman and the first overall to register a triple hundred in day & night Tests will be a tough nut to crack for the New Zealanders. The batsman in form will eye to build his reputation as stroke maker for Pakistan in these tough conditions.
