New Zealand’s in-form batting top-order Martin Guptill (5 M, 151 runs), Finn Allen (5 M, 191 runs) & Glenn Phillips (5M, 171 runs) is the biggest strength of the visitors.
In 3 H2H, New Zealand won all three games, and Scotland is yet to register their maiden victory over visitors in T20Is.
Chris Greaves (10 M, 128 runs, 7 wickets) and Jimmy Neesham (42 M, 499 runs, 23 wickets) are talented all-rounders. Both are big-match winners and they can produce good all-round performance with bat as well as ball in the 2nd T20I.
The spin duo of Ish Sodhi and Mitchell Santner will come in handy against Scotland's batting unit in the 2nd T2OI. They jointly took 6 wickets in the series opener for the visitors.
Hot Picks: Finn Allen, Ish Sodhi, Calum Macleod
Safe Picks: George Munsey, Martin Guptill
Stay Away Picks: Chris Sole, Michael Leask
