NZ vs SL Dream11 Team: After a disappointing loss at the hands of the defending champions Australia in their last encounter, Sri Lanka is now all set to face New Zealand at the Sydney Cricket Ground in match no 27 of ICC T20 World Cup.
New Zealand started their campaign with a thumping win over the reigning champions Australia by 89 runs. Their second game washed out due to rain against Afghanistan. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, defeated Ireland by 9 wickets but lost to Australia by 7 wickets. Now, both teams find themselves in almost a must-win scenario. Who will be the 5 best fantasy picks in this match? Let’s take a look.
1. Finn Allen
Finn Allen giving New Zealand a brisk start is what the team needs. Allen’s quickfire 42 was a pivotal reason for the Blackcaps scoring above 200 in their opening game. Below are his T20I numbers.
Matches | Runs | Strike Rate | Best | Average |
19 | 511 | 166.99 | 101 | 26.89 |
2. Devon Conway

29 | 1033 | 57.39 | 136.1 | 136.1 |
3. Wanindu Hasaranga
Wanindu Hasaranga had a nightmare of a game against Australia. He went for 53 runs from 3 overs and was down on knees. But Hasaranga still is a champion bowler and irrespective of the last game, he remains a vital cog in the bowling unit.
Matches | Runs | Economy-rate | Average | Best |
49 | 80 | 6.8 | 14.85 | 4/9 |
4. Pathum Nissanka
Pathum Nissanka the Sri Lanka opener will be an x-factor at the top for Sri Lanka. He scored 40 in the last game against Australia after making a return from injury. Below are his T20I numbers.
Matches | Runs | Strike Rate | Average | Best |
33 | 938 | 113.15 | 30.26 | 75 |
5. Tim Southee
Tim Southee is now the highest wicket-taker in T20Is with 125 wickets in his kitty. Southee will be a key bowler for the Blackcaps both in the powerplay and the slog overs. Take a look at the T20I numbers of Southee.
Matches | Wickets | Economy | Average | Best |
101 | 125 | 8.20 | 24.08 | 5/18 |
