NZ vs IND Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Hockey Tips And Preview
Goal-Keeper
Sreejesh Parattu has stamped his authority to become the mainstay of India’s defensive unit.
Defenders
Be it staving attacks or converting the penalty corners, Rupinder Pal Singh can do it all to see him link up with the tenacious Harmanpreet Singh from the Indian unit.
New Zealand will meanwhile see their captain, the ever gritty Blair Tarrant feature for us.
Midfielders
His drag flicks and conversion see Manpreet Singh as ever find a place in our team of the day. Giving him company is Hardik Singh owing to his ability to spray the ball around the park.
Hugo Inglis was in steady touch in the FIH Pro League, a player who emerged as a silver linking in an otherwise dismal New Zealand setup. He finds company in the services of Dylan Thomas.
Forwards
With a neat 77 goals in his kitty to gate, Nicolas Wilson completes our set of picks from the New Zealand camp.
Mandeep Singh’s 41 goals for his country see him partner up Lalit Upadhyay for the forthcoming tie.
Captain And Vice-Captain
His ability to net makes Mandeep our captain while Rupinder is the vice-captain.
Dream11 Team
