Here is all you need to read for both the teams before picking your Fantain XI.

Team News:

West Indies

This is one of the strongest teams that West Indies has ever sent to the World Cup. A balanced lineup with hard hitters and pacers, the team managed to beat only Pakistan. After losing to Australia and England, the final defeat to Bangladesh should have hit them the hardest. They have hit rock bottom and no way to go but up.

The team needs to be more disciplined with the ball. Their fielding also let them down. Now, they have Russell’s Injuries to battle as well.

Predicted XI:

Chris Gayle, Darren Bravo, Andre Russell, Shannon Gabriel, Jason Holder (c), Evin Lewis, Sheldon Cottrell, Nicholas Pooran, Shimron Hetmyer, Shai Hope (wk), Oshane Thomas

New Zealand

As obvious as it is, no team would gamble away by trying to give the bench players a chance to play despite being on top of the table. New Zealand would not want to break the winning streak by changing the lineup.

Kane Williamson and Colin de Grandhomme have been on top of their game. Ferguson has taken most of the wickets for the team.

Predicted XI: Ross Taylor, Martin Guptill, Kane Williamson (C), Colin de Grandhomme, Colin Munro, Trent Boult, Tom Latham (wk), James Neesham, Matt Henry, Mitchell Santner, Lockie Ferguson
