Preview

New Zealand(NZ) will lock horns with India(IND) in the first fixture of the T20I series at Sky Stadium, Wellington. New Zealand topped the Group 1 points table in the T20 WC 2022 but failed to go past Pakistan in the semi-final of T20 WC 2022. They will be without the services of their key players like Trent Boult and Martin Guptill, and the onus will be on Tim Southee and Glenn Phillips. India, on the other hand, were at the pole position in Group 2, but unfortunately lost the semi-final game against England. India’s top three batters, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, and Virat Kohli have been rested for this series. The Men in Blue will be captained by Hardik Pandya and will rely on the contributions of Suryakumar Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal.

C

Suryakumar Yadav IND | BAT

Mr. 360, Suryakumar Yadav mustered 239 runs in six outings of T20 WC 2022 at a lavish strike rate of 189.68, with three fifties, and is the best pick for this game.

7
C

Phillips emerged as the top batter of New Zealand in T20 World Cup 2022 with 201 runs in five innings at a strike rate of 158.26, while registering a century as well.

8.5
C

Devon Conway NZ | BAT

The southpaw has been successful to give a stable start to the New Zealand team in T20Is. He scored 145 runs in T20 WC 2022 at an average of 36.25 with a top score of 92*.

8.5

Shubman Gill IND | BAT

The batter with a solid technique and composure is a good pick due to his appetite to score runs across all formats. In 95 T20s, Gill has 2577 runs at an average of 33.46, with 17 fifties and a hundred.

7

Mitchell Santner NZ | ALL

Santner was the best bowler for the Kiwi team in the recently concluded T20 WC with nine wickets in five appearances at an economy of 6.45. He can also contribute well with the bat.

8

Tim Southee NZ | BOWL

Southee has been helpful in securing breakthroughs with the new ball and can take wickets with variations in the slog overs. In five games of T20 WC 2022, he scalped seven wickets.

8

Sanju Samson IND | WK

The elegant batter can pace the innings well and accelerate in the slog overs. In his last three T20I innings, Sanju has amassed 122 runs at an average of 61 and can be a quality pick.

8

Yuzvendra Chahal IND | BOWL

He didn’t get a chance to play in the T20 World Cup and is likely to feature in the playing 11 in the matches going forward. He has been in great form this year in the shortest format as he has picked up 21 wickets in 19 matches at an average of 22.61.

8

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team

9.5

James Neesham

NZ | ALL

Neesham has not been at his best with his contribution to the lower middle order and should be avoided. In his last five innings, Neesham has scored only 42 runs at an average of 14.

8

Harshal Patel

IND | BOWL

He did not feature in any of the T20 World Cup games and has been rather average with his wicket-taking abilities. In the last five T20I games, Patel has scalped only three wickets.
