ENG vs NZ Fantasy Tips

• Brydon Carse was impressive in his debut picking up three wickets. He has plenty of variations and can be a good pick for this match.
• Daryl Mitchell has been out of form recently and did not do well in the Hundred. He  also struggled in the previous match scoring 7 runs. You can leave him out in small leagues.
• Luke Wood picked up 3 wickets in the last game and will open the bowling for England. He will also bowl a few overs at the death which increases his fantasy potential.
• Buttler has been in sublime form in the recent Hundred league scoring 82, 45, 75 in his previous three outings. However he was slotted to bat in the middle order in the last game. So if England are chasing you can afford to leave him out in grand leagues.
• Tim Southee picked up 5 wickets in the opening match of T20I against UAE and is the leading wicket taker for New Zealand in this format.
• Seifert did well in the LPL recently and also in the previous T20I series against UAE. Take a punt on him in grand leagues.
• Chapman might bat lower down the order and might not face much balls to have an impact. Hence avoid him for this match.
• Dawid Malan has an excellent record against New Zealand in this format scoring 418 runs in 9 matches at an average of more than 60. He scored 54 runs in the opening match.
• Harry Brook looked in sublime form in the previous match scoring an unbeaten 43 of 24. Given his recent form, take a punt on him as captain in grand leagues.
• Adam Milne was expensive and went wicket-less in the last game. He can be left out for this match.
