Top picks for NZ vs IND Dream11 Prediction
NZ:
Ross Taylor:
He has performed exceptionally well from the past two years and is in good form. He will be the key in the middle order for New Zealand in the absence of Kane Williamson and scored match-winning knock of 109* runs in the first ODI.
Tom Latham:
He is the wicket-keeper batsman and will be leading the side in the absence of Kane Williamson. Latham bats in the middle order and scored an attacking knock of 69 runs from just 48 balls in the last match.
Martin Guptill:
Opener Guptill has the talent and experience to anchor big innings but has failed to perform in recent times. Guptill is failing to capitalize on the start in every match.
Henry Nicholls:
He is a left-handed opening batsman for New Zealand in ODI and is a decent batsman with an average of 33.94 and scored a good knock of 78 runs in the first match.
James Neesham:
He is a batting all-rounder and is considered to be equally good with both bat and ball. Neesham has been performing well in the NZ-A team recently and appears to be in good form.
Mitchell Santner:
He is an attacking lower-order batsman and witty spinner. He can find it difficult to trouble quality Indian batsmen but generally remains economical.
Colin De Grandhomme:
He is an attacking batsman and handy medium-pacer. He bowled well in the first ODI taking one scalp.
Tim Southee:
Southee is an experienced pacer and can also score quick runs with the bat. He will lead the pace attack of Kiwis but has leaked a lot of runs recently. However, He struck twice in the first ODI.
IND:
Virat Kohli:
The world No.1 Batsmen in T20I, Virat bats at one down and can destroy any bowling line-up if he is set and gets going. He will be a must-pick in NZ vs IND Dream11 team and scored fifty in the first ODI.
Lokesh Rahul:
He can bat at any position for the team, but it is expected that he would be batting at No.5 in this ODI series. Rahul performed brilliantly in the recent T20I series and continued it scoring attacking knock of 88* runs from just 64 balls.
Shreyas Iyer:
He has immense talent and will bat at No.4 for India. Iyer scored his maiden international ODI century in the first match.
Mayank Agarwal:
Opener Mayank has been added as a replacement for Rohit Sharma and will be eager to score a big knock top of the order.
Jasprit Bumrah:
He is one of the world’s best pacers and can utilize the conditions to perfection in New Zealand. He is back in the action and form and performed well in the first ODI as well.
Kuldeep Yadav:
left-arm chinaman bowler took 104 wickets in 60 matches. In the previous game, Kuldeep Yadav took two wickets.
Mohammed Shami:
He is a wicket-taking pacer and has picked up wickets whenever required for the team. But the main concern with Shami is his economy rate.
Ravindra Jadeja:
Spin all-rounder Jaddu is a reliable lower-order batsman and brilliant spinner. His recent form is not at his best.
