Pitch Report
The pitch at Sabina Park is a good one to bat on with there being little help on offer for the pacers. The pacers will look to hit the deck hard and take the pace off to make the most out of the surface. While the batters will look to take on the bowling in the middle phase, the spinners should get some turn on offer. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss, with 160-170 being a good total at the venue.
Today’s WI vs NZ Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Devon Conway: Devon Conway has been one of New Zealand's better batters over the last year or so, impressing across different positions in the batting unit. Likely to open the batting, Conway is a good player of both pace and spin and has a knack for scoring big runs. While Nicholas Pooran is a decent option as well, Conway's form makes him one to watch out for in this game.
Batter
Shimron Hetmyer: Shimron Hetmyer has blown hot and cold since his return to the national side with the bat. Despite his inconsistent form, Hetmyer is one of the most explosive batters in the world. He can tee off from ball one and has developed his finishing skills in the last few years, making him a good addition to your WI vs NZ Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Jason Holder: Despite not being in good form, Jason Holder remains integral to the Windies' fortunes in this format. The tall and lanky all-rounder is an experienced campaigner with some franchise league experience to his name as well. With conditions likely to suit his skill-set, Holder could be backed to put in a good performance.
Bowler
Trent Boult: Trent Boult is finding his feet in the series, showing glimpses of his ability with the new ball. He is a decent white-ball bowler who can hold his own across different phases. While his experience should serve him well, Boult has a knack for picking up wickets at times of need, holding him in good stead. With the left-armer due for a big performance, he is a good addition to your WI vs NZ Dream11 fantasy team.
