Better T20 spinners than Santner:
Hasaranga
Rashid
Shadab
Lamichhane
Mark Watt
Theekshana
I'm not even convinced Santner is any better than Ashwin or Shamsi tbh. Adil Rashid has had a poor WC but I think he's about par overall too, and then there's also Chahal, and Zampa that are very close in quality.
The list of quick bowlers I'd pick over him is quite long too. The fact that he can bat and field makes his a good package allround, no doubt, but he definitely isn't in the Top 10 T20 bowlers in the world. Maybe Top 10 in this current World Cup, but that's excluding a lot of good talent in general.

Underrated gun, really top quality spin bowler. Has a phenomenal record against top nations in T20 world cups.

Streams in for his run up. Very powerful action

Santner is the best T20 finger spinner in the world ahead of Mujeeb, but not the best T20 bowler. He could easily get 0/50 tonight though (or 3/20).
If Bumrah were fit, my ideal T20 attack would be Hazelwood, Bumrah, Nortje, Santner, Hasuranga/Rashid Khan, Hardik (want a 6th bowler).

So do Hasaranga and Rashid Khan. Could easily bracket all three.

Yeah don't get me started, all he needs is to out perform Sajid uncle and Nauman uncle and he's in Test Xi but the asshole has no interest in playing the tests could improve the balance of test side in multiples.

Yeah they should provide him more of an incentive to play.

Honestly, I am worried about the current form of NZ batters (most of them seem very brittle)against the pace and spin of Pak. However, my worrying doesn't really mean anything so best of luck Kiwis! Hope you kill this one!

NZ fans must be extremely nervous, going in here as heavy favourites and generally flattering to deceive when it matters most in ICC tournaments.
By contrast, Pakistan come in as underdogs, without the weight of expectation and with Matthew Hayden's stirring dressing room speech ringing in their shell-likes.
Pakistan by 40 or 6 wickets. Nothing against my Kiwi brethren but Pakistan got this, one feels.
