Player Picks
Kane Williamson NZ | BAT
The top-ranked New Zealand batter smashed two back-to-back fifties against Pakistan in his last two international innings. Williamson also shone in the Test series against Pakistan with 277 runs from just three innings with an unbeaten double hundred.
Joe Root ENG | BAT
The star English batter struggled for the big knocks against Pakistan in the last Test series with just 125 runs from five innings with one fifty. But he has gained his rhythm back after big performances in ILT20 and scored 77 off 69 against New Zealand XI in the warm-up game.
Harry Brook ENG | BAT
The young rising English batter has been in sensational form across formats lately. He was the leading run-scorer in the Pakistan series with 468 runs from five innings at an average of 93.60 with three hundreds and one fifty.

Henry Nicholls
NZ | BAT
The star middle-order batter struggled for big knocks against Pakistan in the last Test series. He scored just 53 runs from three innings and should be avoided for the Dream11 Team selection.
Jack Leach
ENG | BOWL
The experienced English spinner was the leading wicket-taker with 15 wickets from six innings against Pakistan in the last series. But Bay Oval's pitch hugely favors seam bowlers so the spinners are likely to struggle for the wickets.
