NED vs NZ 1st T20 Dream11 Team Prediction

NED vs NZ Match Preview

After an impressive win over Ireland and Scotland in the T20I series, New Zealand will travel to the Netherlands for a two-match T20I series. Both Ireland and Scotland failed to beat New Zealand in even a single match, and it will be an uphill task for the Netherlands as well.

The hosts last played in the T20 world cup qualifiers where they lost to Zimbabwe in the final, though they managed to qualify for the T20 World Cup in Australia. They have some good players and if they all play to their potential, the Netherlands may compete with New Zealand. They may get good scores on the board, but their bowling will be a cause of concern.

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

Martin Guptill

The T20 veteran will be looking to get some good performance against Netherlands. He has been getting starts in recent series but has not been able to convert them into big scores. However, he has looked in great touch.

Finn Allen

Finn Allen scored a wonderful hundred against Scotland in the T20I series and he will be looking to continue riding on the momentum and play another good innings to boost his chances of making to the T20 World Cup squad for NZ.

Max O'Dowd

Max O'Dowd is the highest run scorer for Netherlands in T20Is. He has scored 1339 runs 48 matches at an average of 30. He is someone who likes to play his shots and bats as an opener for Netherlands. If he stays for 7-8 overs, Netherlands will get off to a good start while O'Dowd will also have some good runs under his belt.

Jimmy Neesham

He is a good all-rounder who can contribute with bat as well as ball. While he can be inconsistent at times, he is a match winner on his day.

Mitchell Santner

Mitchell Santner is one of the most underrated spinners in T20Is. Almost in every match, he takes wickets for New Zealand while being extremely economical at the same time. If required, he can come in and play a few big shots as well. He a very valuable player in T20Is and when available at low credits, one should not think twice before selecting him in the team.
