SCO vs NZ 1st T20 Dream11 Team Prediction

Scotland vs New Zealand Match Preview

New Zealand come into the series after winning the T20I series against Ireland 3-0. While Ireland were competitive, New Zealand were too good for them. The coming series will be a massive test for Scotland as well, however, playing against a quality team like NZ will only do good to them, even if they fail to win a game. However, T20I is an unpredictable format and an upset is always on the cards.

Scotland has some good players and if they can deliver some good performances, they can give New Zealand a run for their money.

Scotland vs New Zealand Dream11 Top Fantasy Picks All Rounders, Batsman, Bowlers, Wicket Keepers

Martin Guptill

Martin Guptill had a decent tour of Ireland. He scored a century in the final ODI. However, he failed to score big in the T20Is, despite getting starts in all games. He will be looking forward to getting some good scores against Scotland.

Glenn Phillips

Phillips had a good series against Ireland and emerged as the leading run scorer in the T20Is. He scored 148 runs in 3 games and played a crucial role in New Zealand winning the series.

Richie Berrington

In the absence of Kyle Coetzer, the onus of taking Scotland to a decent score will rest on Berrington’s shoulders. He is one of the most experienced Scottish cricketers and poses great skills with the bat.

Daryl Mitchell

A top batter who can be equally good with the ball, Daryl Mitchell is available at low credits thus having him in the side will help us go for an extra big player. He will also add balance to the side as he is a top-order batter and instead of going for an extra batter, we can strengthen our bowling.

Mitchell Santner

The Scotland players are not very comfortable against the spinners and Mitchell Santner, with all his variations, will be a real challenge for them. Santner is a very good pick for our team.
