Table toppers New Zealand gear up to face Pakistan in their next scheduled encounter of the World Cup 2019. A win here will seal the deal in the league stages for the Blackcaps. They will surely be one of the four semi-finalists if they manage to defeat Pakistan. While they’d like to do the same and maintain the unbeaten streak in the tournament, they’ve got to be wary of the opposition.

Pakistan is one of the most unpredictable sides in the tournament. They might have only 5 points so far but they won’t take too long to turn the tide around if they find some momentum. Both these teams have registered impressive wins in their respective previous games and thus, one could expect this to be a good contest.

Here we bring to you the Dream11 Fantasy team based on the stats of the players:

Wicketkeepers

None of the three wicket-keepers have impressive numbers. However, it is mandatory to pick one and it’d be best if you go with the one who has scored the most runs amongst the available options. Pakistan skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed averages a little over 29 and has mustered 117 runs in his last five outings. This is 32 runs more than what Tom Latham has piled on in the same number of games and thus you can pick the Pakistan captain.

Batsmen

It isn’t really difficult to select the batsmen. Kane Williamson has had a dream tournament thus far and must be the captain of your Dream11 Fantasy team as well. Babar Azam and Ross Taylor are the other two sure shot picks you can make when you go by the stats. Make other selections from amongst Fakhar Zaman, Haris Sohail and Henry Nicholls. Considering the recent form, Sohail should be the preferred choice. Azam can be picked as the captain or vice-captain.

All Rounders

Picking the all-rounders from the available options is quite easy. Mohammad Hafeez has been the best with the bat and contributes a bit with the ball as well. Imad Wasim has got five wickets in the last five games and is handy with the bat as well. You’ve got to choose between Matt Henry and Colin de Grandhomme for the other pick. Since he contributes in all the three departments, Grandhomme should be the better pick.

Bowlers

Mohammad Amir and Lockie Ferguson have had a fabulous run thus far and have picked up 15 and 14 wickets in the last five ODI games they played. Thus, their selection is absolute no-brainers in your Dream11 Fantasy team. The other bowler you can choose is Trent Boult who has picked 8 wickets just like many other bowlers from those available. But the left-arm pacer has got a good average and economy. Since he also opens the bowling, he’s got to be worth a pick.
