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.
Tom Latham NZ | WK
The star Kiwi wicketkeeper-batter struggled to score big knocks against India and Pakistan in the latest white-ball series. But Latham was the leading run-getter for New Zealand in the Pakistan Test series with 281 runs from four innings.
Ben Stokes ENG | ALL
England's red-ball team captain hasn't played any cricket in 2023 but was in good form on the Pakistan tour with 173 runs from five innings, after impressive performances in T20Is.
James Anderson ENG | BOWL
The veteran English pacer took eight wickets from two Tests against Pakistan at an amazing average of 18.50. Anderson has taken 74 wickets from just 18 Tests and will be very effective at Bay Oval's pace-friendly pitch.
Ben Duckett ENG | WK
The 28-year-old English left-handed batter was in great form against Pakistan. He scored 357 runs from three Tests with one hundred and three fifties and costs only 6.5 credits on the Dream11 Team.
Daryl Mitchell NZ | ALL
The experienced batting all-rounder scored just 51 runs against Pakistan in the last Test series but was in red-hot form against England last year.
Neil Wagner NZ | BOWL
With Matt Henry and Kyle Jamieson missing the series, Wagner will be a key pacer for the hosts alongside captain Tim Southee.

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.
