Pitch Report
As seen in the previous game, the pitch at Sabina Park is a good one to bat on. There won't be much swing available early on, allowing the batters to maximize the powerplay field restrictions. There could be some value in changing pace in the middle overs, making for a good contest between the bat and ball. Chasing would be the preferred option upon winning the toss, with 170 being a great first-innings total.
Today’s WI vs NZ Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Devon Conway: Devon Conway put in a good performance in the previous game, scoring a 29-ball 43 at the top of the order. He is a good player of pace and can hold his own against the spinners as well. Conway has been in fine form over the last year or so, with his appetite for big runs holding him in good stead ahead of the match.
Batter
Shimron Hetmyer: Shimron Hetmyer has blown hot and cold over the last couple of weeks, but remains a vital asset in the Windies' batting unit. He is likely to be used as a floater, having excelled in the same role in the IPL. With the southpaw due for a big one for the Windies, Hetmyer could be a decent addition to your WI vs NZ Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Jason Holder: Jason Holder had a decent outing in the previous game, scoring handy runs in the middle order. However, he adds the most value with his bowling prowess. He can swing the ball both ways and generate discomforting bounce. With Holder likely to play a big role with both the bat and ball, he is one to watch out for in this game.
Bowler
Trent Boult: Trent Boult is one of the best white-ball bowlers in the world, with his record speaking for itself. The left-arm pacer is a brilliant exponent of swing with the new ball and can hold his own in the death overs as well. Although he did not have the best of outings in the previous game, Boult's experience and expertise with the ball should make him a good pick for your WI vs NZ Dream11 fantasy team.
