ENG vs NZ Dream11 Top Picks

Glenn Phillips

Glenn Phillips is expected to continue his confident form. He was the leading run scorer in the T20Is for New Zealand. Phillips will be the dream11 vice captain for this team.

Trent Boult

This will be Trent Boult’s 100th ODI and we are expecting some wickets from one of the top ODI pacers in the world. He has picked 187 wickets in ODI at an economy of 4.93.

Joe Root

Joe Root is one of the key batters for England in ODIs. He has scored more than 6000 runs in this format and has an impressive average of 50.06. Joe Root will be the dream11 captain for this fantasy team.

Jonny Bairstow

Jonny Bairstow ended as the highest run scorer in the T20Is and this was a much-needed form for Bairstow after his break from international cricket due to injury. He scored 175 runs in 4 T20Is at a strike rate of 147.06.

Ben Stokes

Ben Stokes will be playing his first ODI after recalling his retirement from the format last year. We are well aware about his abilities in this format and he is set to put hands on another World Cup for England. He is a key all-rounder for this team.
