Pitch Report

The pitch is on the slower side with the batters having to work hard for their runs. The batters will look to maximize the powerplay overs with the brand new ball skidding on nicely. However, the nature of the pitch makes it tough going into the middle overs. Wickets in hand will be key for both teams, with 130 being par at the venue. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with the pitch likely to get slower as the match progresses.

Today’s BAN vs NZ Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Tom Latham: Tom Latham is perhaps New Zealand's best bet against spin bowling. Given the form that he is in, Latham could be a handy option to have in your fantasy team for this game.

Batsman

Finn Allen: Although Finn Allen hasn't really fired at the top of the order, he is one of the more explosive batsmen on the international circuit. However, Allen has shown signs of exploding against Bangladesh, making him one to watch out for in today's game.

All-rounder

Shakib Al Hasan: Shakib Al Hasan has tailed off in the last few games with the all-rounder failing to get many runs and wickets. However, the nature of the pitch plays into his hands and should be a must-have in your BAN vs NZ Dream11 fantasy team.

Bowler

Mustafizur Rahman: Unlike Shakib, Mustafizur Rahman has been in fine form with the ball. The left-arm pacer has used his variations to good effect, proving to be a thorn in the Kiwi side. His cutters will prove to be a handful once again, making him a good addition to your BAN vs NZ Dream11 fantasy team.
