MATCH DETAILS:

New Zealand will face India in the 3rd T20 match which is all set to begin on 31st January 2020 at Sky Stadium, Wellington.

PLAYER ANALYSIS:

WICKET KEEPERS

  • In the wicket-keeping department, KL Rahul is the only player whom we can bet on.
  • He is currently in excellent form and his average fantasy points speak all.
  • Seifert has not been impressive and his performance in this tournament was not quite up to the mark as well and he has 8.5 credits.
  • So, undoubtedly KL Rahul will be our pick in this department with 10 Credits.

BATSMEN

  • Here comes the crucial Department – Batting.
  • In the above graph, we can see Williamson is standing tall with an average points of 58.2, he has been consistent in the last 3 matches and he will be our first pick from this department with 9.5 Credits.
  • The second Pick would be Virat Kohli with 10.5 Credits as he was in a destructive form in the 1st T20 match and has an impressive average of 44.2 points.
  • And the third pick would be Rohit Sharma. He is in tremendous form and won the man of the match in the third T20 and looked to continue his form in this series. He will be our 3rd pick with 10.5 Credits.
  • Kiwis opener Martin Guptill will be our 4th pick with 10 Credits. He has not fired in the last game against India. But he was pretty good in his last 5 matches.

ALL ROUNDERS

IND vs NZ
  • In the All-Rounders section, Jadeja tops the chart with average points of 39.8 and he costs 8.5 Credits. He is one of the key players for India and is an asset to the team.
  • Shivam Dube would be our 2nd pick in this section with 8 Credits as he was the crucial player for Team India in their last game.
  • Santner will be our 3rd pick with 8.5 Credits with his consistency. He has the ability to pull it off with the bat and ball.

BOWLERS

IND vs NZ
  • The Final and Crucial bowling department.
