NZ vs BAN Dream11 New Zealand vs Australia 3rd ODI 26 March

NZ vs BAN Dream11: With the series already in their pocket, the Blackcaps will be eyeing a clean-sweep in the three-match ODI series when they face the visiting Bangla Tigers in the final ODI to be played at the Basin Reserve in Wellington.

This match could be tagged as a dead-rubber but Bangladesh would be hoping to put a smile on their spectators’ faces back home on their 50th Independence Day. We all know how passionate Bangladesh Cricket fans are, and a win on the auspicious occasion would be a great toast for the fans.

Talking about the hosts, the return of Ross Taylor, who will act as a massive boost for them in the middle-order that looked perplexed in the last game. Make no doubt that Taylor is the backbone of Blackcaps’ middle-order and having him back in the side may create a fuss in Bangladesh’s dressing room. It would be interesting to see how the visitors will cope-up with Ross Taylor’s inclusion for the final ODI.

NZ vs BAN Fantasy Cricket Tips, Captain & Differential Pick

Captain picks

Tamim Iqbal: The Bangladesh skipper having scored 78 in the last game will be one of the key figures in the batting line-up. He is one of the sure-shot choices for captain/vice-captain.

Martin Guptill: The Blackcaps opener has scored 38 and 20 in the two games so far. He has looked promising but unable to convert his starts. This could be the match where he gets going.

Mohammad Mithun: The exciting right-hander exploded in the last game with an unbeaten 73 off 54 deliveries. Could be a handy bet for captain/vice-captain.

Differential picks

Ross Taylor: The veteran will be back for Blackcaps after missing out on the last two games due to injury. His last 4 ODI scores are 109*, 73*, 12, 4.

Tom Latham: Blackcaps stand-in skipper has got 180 runs from his last 4 ODI innings with a century against his name that came in the last game.
