Pitch Report

A high-scoring game is expected at the Eden Gardens with some help on offer for the spinners. The batters will look to attack the bowling in the first few overs with the new ball likely to skid onto the bat. However, the spinners should get some turn off the surface, making for a good contest in the middle overs. Both teams will ideally look to chase upon winning the toss, with 160-170 being par at the venue.

Today’s IND vs NZ Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Tim Seifert: Tim Seifert has blown hot and cold in the series, with the 26-year-old not batting in his preferred position. He has the range of shots to go along with his ability to judge pace and spin, making him a good addition to your IND vs NZ Dream11 fantasy team.

Batter

Rohit Sharma: Rohit Sharma has been brilliant in the series with two superlative performances. Rohit's form in the last few weeks has been good and given his record at the Eden Gardens, he is a must-have in your IND vs NZ Dream11 fantasy team.

All-rounder

Axar Patel: Axar Patel had a good outing in the previous game, bowling tight lines and lengths and not giving any room away. His ability against both right and left-handers is equally impressive and should hold him in good stead ahead of this game.

Bowler

Tim Southee: Tim Southee has been the pick of the Kiwi bowlers in this series with the New Zealand captain also picking up three wickets on a tricky Ranchi wicket. His variations go hand-in-hand with his accurate swing bowling, which should yield him a wicket or two in this game.
