10. Jasprit Bumrah
11. Mohammad Shami
– Lokesh Rahul and Virat looks good C/VC choices considering their excellent numbers at venue and H2H matches.
– Dropped Rohit who doesn’t has good numbers especially at this venue while Boult, Southee and Santner have troubled him alot.
– Rishabh might be a decent pick if a couple of top order batters depart early since he has excellent numbers at venue and H2H innings.
– Jimmy Neesham and Santner can give decent fantasy points with the help of bat and ball.
– Taking punt on Tim Seifert who holds batting average of 47 in 8 H2H innings and also handling wk duties too.
– Can take Shardul Thakur at the place of Mohammad Shami if he somehow gets included in XIs of this match.

1. Rishabh Pant
2. Devon Conway
3. Virat Kohli

9. Tim Southee
10. Jasprit Bumrah
11. Varun Chakravarthy
– Williamson looks another good VC considering his averages of above 30 in more than 10 venue and H2H innings.
– Didn’t took Guptill in either of the teams as Bumrah and Shardul have taken him a couple of times under just 30 balls.
– Devon Conway might be a decent punt as he can anchor the innings if top order of NZ doesn’t do well.
– Boult and Southee have done well at this venue & H2H matches which makes them good picks.
– Expecting Varun to stay amongst the wickets considering his strike rate of just 17 with bowl in 7 matches at this venue.
– Ravindra Jadeja will be a crucial pick considering his 4-5 down batting and four overs with the bowl.

– Jadeja and Neesham looks open C/VC choices in GL considering their All-rounder roles.
– Dropped Lokesh Rahul as Ish Sodhi has taken him two times under 37 balls by giving just 34 runs.
– Expecting a good knock from Rohit Sharma to make up for his numbers at this venue.
– Suryakumar Yadav might be a decent credit saver pick as he’s batting at two down.
– Shardul Thakur will be a good GL pick if he somehow gets included in XIs at the place of Hardik Pandya.
– Can take Rishabh Pant at the place of Virat Kohli as Ish Sodhi has also taken him two times under 31 balls.
