Today’s NZ-W vs IN-W Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Richa Ghosh: Although Richa Ghosh didn't score many runs in the previous game, she was one of the better players in the recently concluded series against the White Ferns. The youngster has been brilliant in the middle overs and given the value she adds with her glovework, Ghosh is a good addition to your NZ-W vs IN-W Dream11 fantasy team.

Batter

Suzie Bates: Suzie Bates scored a brilliant fifty against Bangladesh, leading the White Ferns to their first win of the tournament. The veteran has been in fine form all summer and will be keen to sustain it against the Indians, making her one to watch out for in this game.

All-rounder

Amelia Kerr: Amelia Kerr is one of the premier all-rounders in the world, capable of making an impact with both the bat and ball. Although she has shown glimpses of her ability in the last few games, she is due for a big performance. With the nature of the pitch also suiting her, Kerr is a must-have in your NZ-W vs IN-W Dream11 fantasy team.

Bowler

Pooja Vastrakar: Pooja Vastrakar put on a brilliant performance in India's win against arch-rivals Pakistan, scoring a counter-attacking fifty in the lower order. While her batting form bodes well for the team's chances, Vastrakar's ability to pick up wickets in the middle overs should hold her in good stead ahead of the game.
