Pitch Report

A high-scoring game is expected at the Bay Oval despite there being some movement on offer for the pacers. The batters should enjoy the bounce off the surface, allowing them to play their shots freely. As the match progresses, there could be some help for the spinners, who will need to vary their pace accordingly. Both teams will ideally look to chase upon winning the toss, with 170 being a good total at the venue.

Today’s NZ vs NED Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Scott Edwards: Scott Edwards had a good series against Afghanistan, albeit in the ODI format. He is expected to bat in the top order and given his ability against both pace and spin, Edwards is a good addition to your NZ vs NED Dream11 fantasy team.

Batter

Martin Guptill: Martin Guptill is one of the highest runscorers in T20I history, but has blown hot and cold in the last year or so. The veteran opener will be keen to get a big one in this game. With the dimensions of the ground playing into his hands, Guptill is one to watch out for in the one-off T20I.

All-rounder

Bas de Leede: Bas de Leede impressed against a decent New Zealand-XI side in warm-up matches with both the bat and ball. The young Dutchman is a technically sound batter, with his bowling ability having also improved in leaps and bounds over the last few months. Given the role that he is expected to fulfill in the side, de Leede can be backed to put in a good performance in this game.

Bowler

Ben Sears: Ben Sears has been in and out of the NZ set-up in the last year or so, but is expected to get a longer run in the series. Sears is a tearaway pacer who also has a deceptive slower ball, which should serve him well in this game. Given his decent form on the domestic circuit, Sears is a good addition to your NZ vs NED Dream11 fantasy team.
