NZ vs AUS Dream11 match top picks

Top Wicketkeeper Pick

Devon Conway (28 matches, 941 runs, SR: 134.24)

Devon Conway has been brilliant in his T20I career, scoring 941 runs at a strike rate of 134.24. He comes into the game on the back of some good form, scoring 233 runs in five matches in the tri-series earlier in the month. Given his ability and experience, Conway should be a fine pick for your NZ vs AUS Dream11 prediction team.

Top Batter Pick

Mitchell Marsh (42 matches, 980 runs, Average: 29.70)

Mitchell Marsh is one of Australia's most in-form batters in this format with 81 runs in three matches against England. While he has a strike rate of 126.61 in his T20I career, Marsh averages 37.88 at No. 3, holding him in good stead. With Marsh looking in good touch, he is a must-have in your NZ vs AUS Dream11 prediction team.

Top All-rounder Pick

Glenn Maxwell (94 matches, 2041 runs, SR: 150.41)

Glenn Maxwell has not been in the best of form, unable to get going with the bat against England and West Indies in his last couple of series. However, he has a brilliant record in the format, striking at 150.41 and boasting a few 50-plus scores as well. With Maxwell likely to be used as a sixth-bowling option, he is a top pick for your NZ vs AUS Dream11 prediction team.

Top Bowler Pick

Lockie Ferguson (21 matches, 32 wickets, Average: 16.12)

Lockie Ferguson is an accomplished white-ball bowler with his clever use of raw pace and variations holding him in good stead. Ferguson averages 16.12 with the ball as well. Although he has not played much of late, Ferguson should enjoy the conditions on offer, making him a fine choice for your NZ vs AUS Dream11 prediction team.

Mitchell Marsh
