After suffering defeats from Pakistan, both India and New Zealand will face each other with the hope for earning two points, which might prove very handy at the end of the Super 12 stage. Both teams are quite pumped up and it should be a cracking game of cricket and allow the fans to collect lots and lots of fantasy points.
Here are the 3 surprise picks for the Dream11 fantasy teams for India vs New Zealand:
1. Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja didn’t have a great game against Pakistan in the tournament opener, but given his exceptional capability to bounce back, he might get the best out of himself for this game. On top of that, it is worth noting that his record against the Blackcaps is quite good. With the ball, he has managed to deliver the goods and also with the bat. His scores against them should send some warning bells around the ground and might just make a big player for this contest.
2. Mitchell Santner
Santner was one of the chief destructors for India during their dismal loss to the Kiwis in the opening match of the 2016 T20 World Cup. Over time, India batters have managed to read him well and also scored freely against him. Despite that, he still will be a threat for them as his trajectory, pace, and style of bowling are slightly different from what the Indian players are used to facing in the nets with Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja. He can also tonk some boundaries at the death with the bat.
3. Daryl Mitchell
The right-hand batter who has been brought into this tournament has a specific job on which he would be expected to deliver. Up at the top of the order, his job is to give his side a good side. Given his ability to hit the ball quite strongly, we can say that he will be a prized scalp for the Indian team. If he manages to get going, he might end up getting a huge score. It should also be noted that he can deliver overs and also get wickets on these tracks. This makes him a brilliant pick as he can contribute with all the three facets.
