NZ vs IND, 2nd T20I Preview

The World Cup semi-finalists gear up for the second T20 at Bay Oval. Both teams gave nice fights in the World Cup but struggled when they reached the bigger stages. New Zealand are known to havea godo record at home but were whitewashed last time when India came over for a T20 series. India are short on experience too, but look pretty solid nevertheless given the experience their team has from the IPL.

Topmost Picks for NZ vs IND Dream11 Prediction, 2nd T20I:

Top Picks – New Zealand

• Devon Conway– The keeper-batter is one of the most reliable all-format players for New Zealand. This is the only format that he has not scored a century although his top score is 99 not-out.
• Lockie Ferguson– In the absence of Trent Boult, the right-arm pace bowler will be looking to take the role of New Zealand’s main strike bowler in IT20s. He has the pace to disturb any batter on any surface.

Top Picks – India

• Shreyas Iyer– He has been in excellent form coming into this series and it was unfortunate that he did not find a place in the T20 World Cup squad.
• Arshdeep Singh– He was Inda’s best bowler in the recent T20 World Cup 2022 and so far, he has had a great start to his international career. The youngster has swung the ball upfront and has backed it up with some excellent death bowling.

Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for NZ vs IND Dream11 Team:

Devon Conway, Kane Williamson, Glenn Phillips(VC), Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav(C), Hardik Pandya(C), Mitch Santner, Tim Southee, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, Lockie Ferguson

Suggested Playing XI N0.2 for NZ vs IND Dream11 Team:

NZ vs IND 2nd T20I Probable Winners:

These two losing semi-finalists will be keen to return find a working combination, and will want to look for players who step up when the going gets tough. Given the explosiveness in the Indian line-up, they seem well placed to win the game, despite the stability and experience in the New Zealand line-up. India is expected to win this match.
