Pitch Report

The pitch at Hamilton's Seddon Park favours bowlers in white-ball cricket. The pacers usually get a lot of help with a bounce and seam with the new ball.

Average Score

Player Picks

8.5
C

Daryl Mitchell NZ | ALL

The in-form batting all-rounder scored a crucial 47 off 58 and then took two big wickets for 12 in the first match. Daryl has been in red-hot form across formats lately with a century and three fifties from his last five overall matches.

8.5
C

Kusal Mendis SL | WK

The Sri Lankan wicketkeeper-batter was dismissed on a duck in the first ODI but remains a key batter for his team in the upcoming game. He smashed three fifties from four innings against Kiwis in the recent Tests.

8.5
C

Angelo Mathews SL | ALL

The veteran batting all-rounder returned to ODI cricket after two years and top-scored with 18 runs in the first match. Mathews has scored almost 6000 runs in ODIs at an average of 41.51 so far.

9

Tom Latham NZ | WK

The Kiwi skipper scored just five runs in the first match but remains a key batter for his team in the absence of big names. Latham has scored two fifties from his last five overall matches and should be in the Dream11 Team at any cost.

8.5

Dasun Shanaka SL | ALL

The Sri Lankan all-rounder took Tom Latham's big wicket while conceding just 16 runs off his five overs in the first match. Shanka has scored 110 runs and has taken five wickets from his last five overall matches.

6.5

Chad Bowes NZ | BAT

The top-order batter made his international debut in the last game and scored 14 off 15. Bowes has scored two centuries in his last five matches in domestic cricket.

7.5

Chamika Karunaratne SL | ALL

The experienced pace all-rounder was excellent in the first match as he took four wickets for 46. Chamika has scored 73 runs and has taken nine wickets from his last four matches.

6.5

Henry Shipley NZ | ALL

The right-arm pacer bowled a match-winning spell in the first ODI with five wickets from 31 to guide his team to a big win. Shipley has taken 11 wickets from his last five white-ball innings and costs only 6.5 credits on the Dream11 Team.

7.5

Rachin Ravindra NZ | ALL

The young spin all-rounder made his international debut in the last game and made a big impact. He scored 49 runs off 52 balls but didn't get a chance to bowl.

6

Will Young

NZ | BAT

The Kiwi batter scored 26 off 28 in the last match and has struggled to convert good starts into big knocks lately.
