IND vs NZ Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips
Wicket-Keeper
Rishabh Pant(9 cr) will be a must-pick option from the wicket-keeping section. He is in decent form in Test cricket. He scored 270 runs in 4 matches with an average of 54 against England.
Batsmen
Virat Kohli(10 cr) will be a must-pick option from the batting section. The Indian Captain is one of the best batsmen in the world right now. He will be keen to perform in this big Final against NZ.
Tom Latham (9 Cr) is a very good differential pick in this game. He played really well against England and will give points from keeping as well.
Devon Conway (8.5) is another brilliant pick from the batting section. He had a brilliant debut series against England as the Kiwi opener scored a double hundred at Lord’s on debut.
Cheteshwar Pujara(9.5 cr) will be another good pick from the batting section. He will play at number three for India. He had enormous success in this format, however, he didn’t perform in the home series so he will be willing to show his worth in this game against NZ.
All-Rounders
Ravindra Jadeja (9 cr) will be the best option from the all-rounder section in this match. He is making his comeback as the left-arm spin all-rounder who missed the home series against England. Jadeja is in tremendous form in white-ball cricket, and he will surely want to continue it into Test cricket as well.
Ravichandran Ashwin (9 cr) will be another must-pick option from the all-rounder section. He scored 189 runs in 4 Tests against England including a century on a tough track of Chennai. Ashwin also picked 32 wickets with a brilliant average of 14 in that series.
Bowlers
Tim Southee (9 cr) will be the must-pick option from the bowling section. He picked a six-wicket haul at Lord’s against England and again he will be keen to perform against India at Southampton.
Trent Boult (9 cr) is another good pick from the bowling section. He picked four wickets in the first inning against England at Edgbaston. Boult has always performed against India so he will be a must-pick in this match.
Mohammad Shami(8.5 cr) will be a must-pick option from the bowling section. He had enormous success in these conditions. He is also making his comeback into the Test side for India.
Jasprit Bumrah(9 cr) will be another must-pick option from the bowling section. He will be a go-to bowler for India in this match. Bumrah picked four wickets in two Tests against England.
