Top Picks for SCO vs NZ Dream11 Match:
Top Picks – Batters
The in-form all-rounder Glenn Phillips hit 23 runs off of 16 balls and played admirably in both the ODI and T20I series against Ireland. He will make the ideal captain for your fantasy team.
The seasoned batter Calum MacLeod led Scotland with 33 runs in the most recent game, and he has three fifty-plus scores in his last five international games.
Top Picks – All-Rounders
In the opening game, Mitchell Santner, the captain, grabbed two wickets while only giving up 23 runs. In his last three games, he was unable to bat, but in his last five games, he has taken seven wickets.
After another significant undefeated knock of 23 runs off just 13 balls in the last game, top all-arounder Daryl Mitchell continues to impress with the bat.
Top Picks – Bowlers
Ish Sodhi, the great spinner, is in top form after picking up another four wickets in the most recent game. With 12 wickets in his last five games, he will be an important bowler for New Zealand in the forthcoming encounter.
In just 14 T20I games, the top left-arm spinner Hamza Tahir has taken 22 wickets, including one in the opening game while allowing just 28 runs in three overs.
Top Pick – Wicketkeeper
In the last series against Ireland, Dane Cleaver excelled, but he was unable to bat against Scotland in the opening game.
Suggested Playing XI No.1 for SCO vs NZ Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:
Matthew Cross, Glenn Phillips, Calum MacLeod (vc), Finn Allen, Richie Berrington, Mitchell Santner, James Neesham, Chris Greaves, Lockie Ferguson, Ish Sodhi (c), Hamza Tahir.
Suggested Playing XI No.2 for SCO vs NZ Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:
Dane Cleaver, Martin Guptill, Glenn Phillips (c), Finn Allen (vc), Calum MacLeod, Daryl Mitchell, George Munsey, Chris Greaves, Ish Sodhi, Mark Watt, Hamza Tahir.
SCO vs NZ Risky Captaincy Choices:
The seasoned wicketkeeper batsman Dane Cleaver performed admirably while batting at position three against Ireland but did so at position seven in the most recent game.
James Neesham, the game’s top all-arounder, scored 30 runs off just nine balls but failed to take a wicket. He will be a hazardous captaincy pick because he bats in the lower middle order and hasn’t batted for more than 10 deliveries in the last few games.
Players you should avoid:
In the first game, Ollie Hairs, an accomplished batter, batted third and only managed to score 7 runs. In his last five international games, he has scored 30 runs.
