ENG vs NZ Dream11 Fantasy Team 

Fantasy picks from England-

Possible game-changers:
Jonny Bairstow: The wicket-keeper batter is definitely an unmissable pick here. In his last 4 T20I innings he has got scores of 68, 12, 37 and 35.
Eoin Morgan: The skipper is one of the most intimidating strikers of the ball if he gets going. He has remained unbeaten in his last three T20I innings scoring 101 runs.
James Vince: The Hampshire batsman proved his worth in the last game by playing a match-winning knock. He has got 105 runs from his last three T20I knocks.

X-Factor:
Sam Curran could be an X-factor for England in this game, given his ability to swing the new ball and scoring crucial runs down the order.

Players to avoid:
Dawid Malan, Pat Brown

Fantasy picks from New Zealand-

Possible game-changers:
Martin Guptill: He is a fearless striker once he gets going. However, his recent form is not that good but he has got 2285 runs to his name from 76 innings.
Ross Taylor: His knock in the last game propelled New Zealand to a respectable total. The veteran has scored 148 runs from his last 5 innings.
Tim Southee: The stand-in skipper has scalped 71 wickets from 62 T20Is. He will be leading the bowling attack for the Blackcaps.

X-Factor:
All-rounder Colin de Grandhomme will be the X-factor here. He has the power to hit those lusty blows and is a handy seamer as well who can chip in with two or three overs.

Players to avoid:
Scott Kuggelijn
