IND vs NZ Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report and Injury Updates For Match 28 of T20 World Cup 2021

Preview:

India will take on New Zealand in the 28th match of the T20 World Cup 2021 on Super Sunday. This match is being considered as a virtual knockout for both sides, as whoever wins this game will have better chances of ending in the top two spots. India were completely thrashed by the arch-rivals Pakistan in their opening encounter. They didn’t get the start they expected, which affected them in setting up a good target. There might be some changes in their eleven against the Kiwis.

New Zealand, on the other hand, were in the game for the most part of the match against Pakistan, but the sixth-wicket partnership between Shoaib Malik and Asif Ali took the game away from them, as the Kiwis lost the match by 5 wickets. They have a 100 per cent win record against India in the T20 World Cups.

Top Picks for IND vs NZ Dream11 Match:

Top Picks ­ Batters

Rohit Sharma should forget what has happened in the previous game against Pakistan. There is no doubt he is a world-class batter and he will have a point to prove in this match against Kiwis.

Whatever might be the condition, Kane Williamson knows how to pace his innings. He has got a solid technique and will be expecting a good game against India. He got out in an unfortunate manner against Pakistan when he was batting on 25 runs.

Top Picks ­ All-Rounders

Ravindra Jadeja managed to score 13 runs, but went wicketless in the last game against Pakistan. He has the potential to turn the game at any point. Jadeja is a brilliant fielder and can save runs for his side as well.

Jimmy Neesham can hit the ball a long distance, and moreover, his role with the ball will be important for the Kiwis in the middle overs.

Top Picks ­ Bowlers

Playing in his first T20 World Cup match, Varun Chakravarthy didn’t have the best of the games against the opening duo of Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam. He likes to keep things simple and is expected to deliver well against New Zealand.

Indian batters had issues tackling swing, and Trent Boult can make use of this to the maximum extent. He picked up one wicket against Pakistan at an economy of 7.9.

Top Picks ­ Wicketkeepers

Rishabh Pant played a crucial knock when it mattered the most against Pakistan. He scored 39 runs from 30 balls. Two one-handed sixes were the main highlights of his innings.

IND vs NZ Risky Captaincy Choices:

Suryakumar Yadav plays with a positive mindset and he started well against Pakistan, but got out after scoring 11 runs from 8 balls. He is a risky captaincy pick for your fantasy teams.

Daryl Mitchell had an excellent start against Pakistan, as he scored 27 runs from 20 balls. He can also be handy with the ball. You can take a risk and pick him as your fantasy team skipper.

Player you should avoid:

Considering his present form, it’s hard to include Hardik Pandya in the final eleven.
