Pitch Report

A competitive track beckons at the Tolerance Oval with the bowlers likely to get some help off the surface. The pitch could be on the slower side with batters having to bide their time in the middle before going big. As the match progresses, bowlers will look to vary their pace. Both teams would love to bat first upon winning the toss, with 160 being a good total at this venue.


Today’s ENG vs NZ Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Tim Seifert: Tim Seifert didn't get a chance to bat in New Zealand's previous game. However, the wicketkeeper is expected to bat at the top of the order in today's fixture and should get some runs under his belt, making him a good option for your ENG vs NZ Dream11 fantasy team.

Batter

Dawid Malan: Dawid Malan's spot in the side is in some danger with the southpaw unable to capitalize on a start against India. However, he has been England's most consistent batter over the last year or so and should score some runs today if given the chance to bat at no.3 or even no.4.

All-rounder

James Neesham: Another Kiwi who will be looking to get some form under his belt, James Neesham had an iffy outing against Australia earlier in the week. Apart from his explosive batting ability, Neesham is a handy medium pacer whose variations will be key on this surface.

Bowler

Tymal Mills: Tymal Mills is perhaps England's best bet with the ball, given his experience and unique skill-set. His variations will be key for England, who will bank on him delivering the goods in the death overs in the absence of Jofra Archer.
