India have put down strong performances so far and would want to complete a hattrick of wins here. Meanwhile, New Zealand would want to brush aside underdogs tag and tell the world they are also the title contender.

Cricduel Grand League Team Strategy (High Risk, High Reward)

To win grand leagues on Cricduel, you must make risky, low percentage picks that can make your team stand above all others. With Dhawan injured, Vijay Shankar might get a chance, and could potentially be darkhorse for your fantasy team.

Boult makes for a good Captain or Vice Captain pick because he performed excellently against India in the warmups and could do the same again. Also, conditions are expected to be overcast, so bowlers could get a boost.

Cricduel Small League/Head to Head Team (Safe and steady performers)

To win small leagues and head-to-head contests on Cricduel, you should simply pick the most steady performers at each position. In this team, we simply looked to pick the safest option at each position.

Hardik Pandya makes for a great Capt. or Vice Capt. pick, as he is one of the most consistently good performers in ODI competition.
