Preview

India (IND) will be up against New Zealand (NZ) in the 21st match of the Cricket World Cup at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala on October 22. Both these teams have bossed their way out in the tournament so far, winning all of their four matches and occupying first and second place in the rankings. This encounter is probably going to decide who will remain the ultimate table topper.

India squared off against Bangladesh in their last match, where Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat. They were off to a flier after choosing to bat, where both their openers scored a half-century each. Several wickets fell at regular intervals after openers fell. The pair of Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah took the team to a decent total of 256 runs. After another bossy start from Rohit and Gill, Kohli took the baton over as he notched yet another century and took the team to an easy win by seven wickets.

New Zealand squared off against Afghanistan in their last match, where Afghanistan won the toss and elected to field. After a good start from their top order, the middle order fumbled a little as they went from 109 for 1 to 110 for 4, but the experience of Latham and Phillips came to their aid as they took the command and reached a strong total of 288 on a slow pitch. Afghanistan was never in the chase, as they kept losing wickets right from the start. Few of their batters did get starts, but none of them could solidify and, hence, lost the match by a huge margin of 149 runs.

Player Picks

9
C

Rohit Sharma IND | BAT

Rohit has been decimating the opposition with his bossing knocks. He has already amassed 265 runs in four matches and could be the perfect fit to lead your team.

8.5
C

Devon Conway NZ | BAT

Conway can be another good choice to lead your fantasy side, keeping in mind his current form. He has smashed 249 runs in four matches.

9
C

Trent Boult NZ | BOWL

Although Boult has not been able to be his brilliant self in the tournament so far, but he has a good track record against the Indian team. He could give the Indian team the scare with the friendly environment.

9

Virat Kohli IND | BAT

There seems to be a lack of words now to explain how great of a player Kohli has been in this format. He is absolutely a pick you should not miss out on.

6.5

Mitchell Santner NZ | ALL

Santner has clearly been the best spinner of this World Cup so far, with 11 wickets to his name. He is a handy pick with the bat as well.

9

Jasprit Bumrah IND | BOWL

Bumrah has been on par with Santner when it comes to the wickets tally. He has 10 wickets in four matches and is a must-have pick for your fantasy side.

7

Rachin Ravindra NZ | ALL

Rachin has scored 215 runs at a strike rate of 106.97 in four matches, which includes a century and a half-century each. He has scalped three wickets with the ball as well.

7.5

Matt Henry NZ | BOWL

Henry has been the spearhead of the Kiwi pace attack with nine wickets in his kitty from four matches. He can be a good budget pick for the team.

9

KL Rahul IND | BAT

Rahul has been phenomenal with his wicketkeeping skills in the tournament. With the bat, he is yet to be dismissed, with 150 runs already being scored by him.

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team

9

Hardik Pandya

IND | BAT

With Pandya injured for this match, you can skip including him in your fantasy side.

7.5

Mark Chapman

NZ | ALL

Chapman has not been able to contribute much to the team's success so far. He can be left out of your team.
