What a fabulous series this has been for viewers so far. It’s been a well-fought T20I series and the 5-match series is currently tied 2-2. It was the home side New Zealand who won the first couple of games and we though they had the series in the bag but they clearly didn’t. It was a complete and well-deserved comeback for the visitors Australia who managed to win the next couple of games to level the series.
Because of travel restrictions, all the three final games are being played at the Westpac Stadium in Wellington and we’ve seen a couple of different games altogether so far. In the first one, we had a 200+ score and in the second one, we had a score of barely 150+. One thing is that the toss is important because all 4 games this series were won batting first. Keep reading for our complete BatBall11 (Code “READ123“) fantasy preview of the NZ vs AUS 5th T20I…

New Zealand
Getting the big bucks in the 2021 IPL Auction, we had Kyle Jamieson drawing plenty of attention to himself with that 15 Crore contract but he’s only managed one wicket in this series so far. With a decent cameo with the bat in the last game, his confidence may be up a bit and we think he’s a good pick for your NZ vs AUS fantasy team. Another all-round option is Mitchell Santner who hasn’t got many runs but has managed 6 wickets in 3 games so far.
These tracks are given a lot of assistance to spinners and that’s why Ish Sodhi should be picked in our NZ vs AUS 5th T20I Dream11 team. He’s the leading wicket-taker in this series so far and should be picked for sure. If we go for another all-rounder, we can add James Neesham to our team who has 2 wickets in 4 games and while he hasn’t got many great scores, one knock of 45(16) in the 2nd T20 showed his potential.
Australia
Talking about that IPL 2021 Auction, we had another multi-millionaire in Jhye Richardson and he too hasn’t lived up to expectations with only 3 wickets in 4 games, going at over 9.2 runs per over. Since he’s not a popular pick, he should definitely be added to our BatBall11 (Code “READ123“) NZ vs AUS 5th T20I fantasy team. Josh Philippe has got about 100 runs in 4 games and given his stellar BBL 10 season, he should be picked too.

If you want another batting option, pick Aaron Finch who came into this series with a poor run of form in international as well as domestic cricket but he’s done well in recent games and is currently at the top of the charts for run scorers in this series across both sides. Like we mentioned above, spin has been doing well on this pitch and that’s why we think Adam Zampa should be picked as well, currently with 4 scalps in 4 games.
