NZ vs WI Dream11 Team - 1st T20I 2020 | 27 Nov

After a couple of tour games kicking off, New Zealand will now be playing host to West Indies for a series of 3 T20Is followed by 2 Test matches and it’s going to be a tough fight right through. NZ last played international cricket at the start of this year where they beat India at home in the ODIs and Tests, but they took a 5-0 drubbing in the T20Is. They’ll be wanting to ends their continuous losing streak in the shortest format right now.

As fr West Indies, they were in action more recently when they played England and they put up a good fight even though they ended on the losing side more often than not. Some players from both teams were also in action in the recent IPL 2020, so pick those first who were in good for there.

Numbers

Last 4 completed T20Is head to head, New Zealand leads 3-1.
New Zealand – haven’t won any of their last 5 T20Is at this venue.
West Indies – 2 of their 3 T20Is at this ground ended in ties.
Martin Guptill – 571 runs in 14 T20Is at this venue.

New Zealand

We haven’t seen him in action in a really long time but Martin Guptill is the highest scorer at this ground with 1 century and 4 fifties in 15 games. His opening partner is expected to be Tim Seifert who didn’t have too many chances in CPL 2020 for T&T Knight Riders but we can expect him to be on fire here. With 3 fifties and 2 centuries in his last 10 games across formats, Devon Conway has been on fire and we expect him to make his international debut today.

There’s no Colin Munro or Kane Williamson and the side is expected to be led by Tim Southee who has 14 wickets in his last 2 FC games with 14 wickets in 2 Tests against India prior to that too, so he’s not someone who should be left out. One of the smartest all-rounders in the side is Mitchell Santner who can even be your captain or vice-captain pick today. Lockie Ferguson shouldn’t be left out either, picking a 3-fer on his IPL 2020 debut.

West Indies

In the absence of Jason Holder, we have Kieron Pollard leading the side and we’re picking him for sure as he’s shown a bit of maturity in his batting in the last year or so and will target spinners like Santner and Sodhi. Andre Fletcher last made a T20 appearance for Windies in 2018 but he didn’t get any big scores in CPL 2020 so we’d rather pick his opening partner Brandon King who was the top scorer in CPL 2019.

In the recent CPL 2020 season, we noticed Kyle Mayers to be a really big hitter of the ball while also bowling a few medium pacers when given the chance. If he makes the side, he should certainly be picked in your PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) fantasy team. One of the most exciting young players from the Caribbean is Fabian Allen and he can’t be missed out either because he’s going to be a hit with both bat as well as ball.
