NZ vs ENG Dream11 prediction: New Zealand are under extreme pressure and need to win this game to save the series. They haven’t lost a series in their home in a very long time.
Joe Root
Joe Root scored an excellent fifty in the 2nd innings. He is an excellent option for vice captain in grand leagues. He is yet to find the right balance between attack and defence under this new management but it is only a matter of time.

Daryl Mitchell
