1st T20I NZ vs WI Fantasy 11 Dream 11

After the hectic IPL, we're now back to the international cricket. Six teams will be back sweating out on the field. Two T20Is and one ODI are on their way to entertain the cricket fanatics. So, here we're for the T20I between NZ and WI. NZ have rested their key players such as Williamson and Boult. On the other hand WI will also miss their hard hitters like Russell, Gayle etc. Without wasting any further time, let's roll and make Fantasy 11/Dream 11 for the Match.

Batsmen & wk :- Glenn Phillips, Nicholas pooran, Andre Fletcher, Martin Guptill,Brandon King/Ross Taylor,Shimron hetmyer.

This match is going to be play on Eden park, Auckland, which a small ground. So expect a High scoring match. If not 200+ runs per innings, it's definitely be around 180s. So, I have selected as many as six batsmen and wicketkeeper together. Pooran and hetmyer played fantastically in recently concluded IPL. So expect them to carry on their form in this series. Other four players I have selected is solely based on the fact that they all are openers. And as it's a small ground, and given advantage of powerplay, expect them to score runs. You can take risk of taking Ross Taylor in your Fantasy 11/Dream 11, but it's unlikely that he'll score runs, given he bats in middle order.

All-rounders:- Kieron Pollard, James Neesham/Mitch santner.

No suprise for big man Polly! He's been scintillating since CPL. Expect few mighty blows from him,if he gets chance. Also if needed he can roll his arm too. Neesham also played few matches in IPL, but he was on off with his performance. He can be use as a pinch hitter for NZ and he's likely to bowl couple of overs. Same role for santner, but he's a spinner and plus he bats lower down the order,so take risk if you want.

Bowlers:- lockie Ferguson, ish Sodhi, Sheldon Cottrell/kesrick Williams.

Playing for KKR, Ferguson locked good in his limited game time. He has pace and expect him to knock few Windies willows. Given Sodhi is a leg spinner, and Windies inability to play legspin, expect him to take few scalps. Cottrell has his inswing and Williams has his slower balls, so pick anyone between any one of them.

Fantasy 11/Dream 11:- Guptill, Fletcher, Phillips, pooran, hetmyer, King/Taylor, Pollard, Neesham/santner, Ferguson, Sodhi, Cottrell/Williams.

My captain for this match would be Guptill and vice captain would be pooran.
