India vs New Zealand 1st T20 Dream11 Team Prediction

IND vs NZ Match Preview

After thrashing New Zealand in the ODI series, India shift the focus to the T20I series. India has been ruthless in the T20I format and have not lost a series since 2021. They have won 10 consecutive series during this time.

Meanwhile, New Zealand are also a good team. They will be keen to do well after the thrashing they got in the ODIs. Shorter format will give them more chance of picking up a win.

IND vs NZ Dream11 Top Fantasy Picks All Rounders, Batsman, Bowlers, Wicket Keepers

Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill had a top ODI series. He thrashed the Kiwi bowlers and scored a double century in the first match followed by a century in the final game. He will look to transform his form in the T20Is as well.

Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav has been in red-hot form in the T20Is. The ace batter has been piling on runs for fun in this format of the game and will be India's biggest match-winner in the coming game.

Devon Conway

Devon Conway returned to form with a century in the final ODI. He certainly would be keen to carry this form in T20Is and help New Zealand win their first game on the tour.

Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep Yadav did well in the ODI series and troubled the Kiwis with his variations. He is going to be a challenge for them in the T20Is as well.

Mitchell Santner

Mitchell Santner is a top-class T20I bowler. He doesn't give any opportunity to score easy runs and this helps him get some much-deserved wickets.
