Pakistan will be looking to fine-tune their preparations for the T20 World Cup in Australia, since the tri-series will be their last assignment before the mega event.

Pakistan recently lost the seven-match T20I series against England on home soil, 4-3, raising question marks over the prospects of the Men in Green in the T20 World Cup.
However, a good showing in New Zealand could give the Babar Azam-led unit much-needed confidence ahead of the World Cup.
