Fantasy Tips of The Day
Top Wicketkeepers
Against New Zealand in T20Is, Jos Buttler averages a minimum of 35 points per match.
Before managing a mere nine in the opening game, Tim Seifert had hammered 236 runs at a strike rate of 164, ending up as a captain or vice-captain of the Best11 in three of six games in 2023.
Top Batters
Dawid Malan’s affair against the Kiwis continues: 276 runs at a strike rate of 151 – of which 310 runs at an average of 78 have come at No.3.
With 493 runs including a hundred and five fifties, Mark Chapman is the third-highest run-getter in 2023.
Top All-rounder
Given the nature of the wicket, the deceptive Liam Livingstone is likely to get more overs. In his last seven competitive T20s, he has taken six wickets. With the bat, he often generates bonus points for strike rate and boundaries.
Top Bowlers
In T20Is – albeit a short career – Luke Wood averages 107 points. Talk about striking big!
Adil Rashid has great numbers for the game: in addition to being the highest wicket-taker (nine wickets including a four-for) at the venue, he took 14 wickets in his last 10 competitive T20s.
Adam Milne provided 40 points (11 wickets and two catches) per game in seven outings for the year.
In his last five professional T20s, Tim Southee sniped up 10 wickets.
Struggling for Numbers
Jonny Bairstow has collected only 52 runs in seven T20Is at the venue.
Probable XIs
England: Jonny Bairstow, Will Jacks, Dawid Malan, Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jos Buttler (c & wk), Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Adil Rashid, Brydon Carse, Luke Wood
New Zealand: Finn Allen, Devon Conway, Tim Seifert (wk), Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner, Adam Milne, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee (c), Lockie Ferguson
