IND PLAYING 11

1. Prithvi Shaw
2. Shubman Gill
3. Rahul Tripathi
4. Suryakumar Yadav
5. Ishan Kishan
6. Hardik Pandya (C)
7. Washington Sundar
8. Shivam Mavi
9. Arshdeep Singh
10. Kuldeep Yadav
11. Mukesh Kumar

• Prithvi Shaw makes a strong case given that the openers fell early in the first game. He might come in for Hooda with Ishan Kishan dropping to middle order.
• Chahal might come in for either Umran Malik or Shivam Mavi who were underused. But he wont be displacing Kuldeep Yadav who had a good game.
• Hooda and Washinton Sundar will also retain their places. Mukesh Kumar might get a game after all the pacers were sent for plenty in the first match.

Suryakumar Yadav Stats in T20Is

Simply must-have. He is in the form of his life, especially in T20s.

Hardik Pandya Stats in T20Is

Skipper trusted his own bowling rather than the other quicks in the side in the first game. With the top three looking suspect, he can go big with the bat.

NZ PLAYING 11

1. Finn Allen

4. Daryl Mitchell
5. Glenn Phillips
6. Michael Bracewell
7. Mitchell Santner
8. Jacob Duffy
9. Ish Sodhi
10. Blair Tickner
11. Lockie Ferguson

• Kiwis should field a similar squad as the first game.
• Three spinners in Santner, Bracewell and Sodhi will continue given the nature of wicket.
• Ben Lister, who has been waiting in the wings, is worth a shout.

Here are the best fantasy cricket picks for the match from New Zealand:

Devon Conway Stats in T20Is

Started cautiously but went on to score a well struck half century in game 1. Conway plays risk free cricket yet scores at a decent strike rate:

Michael Bracewell Stats in T20Is

Batting a little higher up in T20s, Bracewell has shown he is a destructive all-rounder in his short career.
