Top Picks for WI vs NZ Dream11 Match: Top Picks – Batters Kane Williamson: The Kiwi skippers returned to ODI cricket after a gap of more than two years and scored the highest 34 runs off 50 balls for his team. He has scored 6207 runs in 152 ODI matches at an impressive average of 47.38. Williamson looked calm with his shot choices on Wednesday and is likely to put another good knock in the next match. Shamarh Brooks: The in-form Caribbean batter scored the highest 79 runs off just 91 balls to put Player of the Match performance in the first ODI match. This was his second consecutive fifty as he smashed unbeaten 56 runs in the last T20I match. He will be a good captaincy choice on Friday. Top Picks – All-Rounders Mitchell Santner: The bowling all-rounder is enjoying good form with the bat lately and scored 25 runs in the last match to guide his team to 190 runs total. He also took a wicket while conceding just 25 runs in his 7-over spell. He has scored 119 runs and has taken 7 wickets in his last five overall matches. Top Picks – Bowler Trent Boult: The Kiwi ace continued his good form with two more wickets in the last match while conceding 49 runs but couldn’t help his team secure a win. He ranks 1st in ICC ODI bowling charts and will be a key bowling pick for this fixture. Alzarri Joseph: The in-form pacer put on an impressive display in the last match with three wickets while conceding just 36 runs at an economy rate of 4.3. He has now taken 85 wickets in just 52 ODI matches at an average of 27.05 and an economy rate of 5.19. Top Picks – Wicketkeeper Shai Hope: Hope scored 26 runs off just 24 balls in the last match and looked strong for a big knock. He smashed a century against India in the previous series and will be a good captaincy choice for the Dream11 team on Friday.

Dream11 Team Today for the 2nd ODI is between West Indies (WI) vs New Zealand (NZ) with Finn Allen as Captain and Devon Conway as Vice-Captain. WI vs NZ Risky Captaincy Choice: Jason Holder: The star all-rounder put impressive two wickets for 39 runs spell in the first match and remained unbeaten on 13 runs to guide his team to a big win. But he has failed to put the 30-plus score in his last ten matches and will be a risky captaincy choice despite an impressive performance in the last match. Player you should avoid: Nicholas Pooran: The West Indies skipper is struggling to score big knocks since he took the captaincy role in June. He scored 28 runs off 47 balls in the last match but has scored only one fifty in the last ten overall matches. Click here to know who will win today’s match between WI vs NZ?
