Fantasy Cricket Tips

New Zealand vs. England, 1st T20I, Friday, November 1, 2019, 6 PM Local Time.

Where: Hagley Oval, Christchurch.

What to expect: It might not be the best day to be a bowler. The Hagley Oval pitch is expected to be flat and true and the short boundaries should mean this is a high-scoring game, favoring the batsmen on both sides. The only thing that might spoil their fun is the weather. The forecast may be dry but temperatures are set to be in the mid-teens once the game begins at 6 pm local time and dropping thereafter. The spectators will certainly not want to forget their coats and jumpers.

Fantasy Cricket Tips

New Zealand

Without Williamson, New Zealand's top order will contain Colin Munro, who scored an unbeaten hundred against England in their second warm-up match, Martin Guptill and wicket-keeper Tim Seifert, an explosive trio who will go hard at England in the powerplay. They are likely to be followed by an experienced middle order of Ross Taylor, Colin de Grandhomme and James Neesham. In the bowling attack, Lockie Ferguson, recovered from a thumb injury which ruled him out of the Sri Lanka tour in August, should take the new ball alongside captain Southee.

Probable XI: Colin Munro, Martin Guptill, Tim Seifert, Ross Taylor, Colin de Grandhomme, James Neesham, Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi, Lockie Ferguson

England

Expect England to give each member of their squad a run out at some stage during this series. For the opening game, Banton is set for a debut at the top of the order alongside Jonny Bairstow and there could also be an international bow for Parkinson if England opt for two frontline spinners. Sam Curran will likely be given first shot in the number seven role instead of Somerset's Lewis Gregory and England have to decide between Tom Curran, Saqib Mahmood, and Pat Brown for the third fast-bowling spot.

Probable XI:  James Vince, Jonny Bairstow, Tom Banton, Eoin Morgan, Joe Denly, Sam Billings, Sam Curran, Tom Curran, Adil Rashid, Chris Jordan, Matt Parkinson


Teams:

New Zealand Squad: Colin Munro, Martin Guptill, Tim Seifert(w), Ross Taylor, Colin de Grandhomme, James Neesham, Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee(c), Ish Sodhi, Lockie Ferguson, Scott Kuggeleijn, Blair Tickner

Fantasy Tips and Suggestions:

Wicket-keeper: Tim Seifert is the preferred option ahead of Tom Banton with the Kiwi being well-versed with the home conditions available at the venue. While Sam Billings is another good option, Seifert should be backed to make use of this opportunity in the top order.

Batsmen: Colin Munro scored a hundred in the second T20 practice match against England and looks to be in fine form as well. Along with the likes of Martin Guptill and Eoin Morgan, Munro is a worthwhile option to have on the fantasy side. If an extra England batting option is to be picked, Jonny Bairstow could fit the bill as well.

Allrounders: Sam Curran was another player who shone in the practice game. With his ability to swing the new ball and also score some runs as well, he is a must-have in the side along with Mitchell Santner. One of Colin de Grandhomme or Jimmy Neesham should also suffice as the third allrounder in the side.

Bowlers: Tom Curran and Lockie Ferguson are must-haves considering their ability to generate high pace and pick wickets in the death overs. Spinners are also a decent option on this surface with Adil Rashid being one to watch out for in this game. As for the final bowling pick, the likes of Ish Sodhi and Tim Southee would do the trick as well.

Captain: Colin Munro's form makes him a captaincy option for this game with the Kiwi opener's T20-I record being exemplary. Jonny Bairstow is also a very good option alongside Munro while the likes of Tom Curran and Mitchell Santner are also viable candidates for the same.

Fantasy Suggestion #1: Tim Seifert, Colin Munro, Eoin Morgan, Jonny Bairstow, Colin de Grandhomme, Mitchell Santner, Sam Curran, Adil Rashid, Lockie Ferguson, Tim Southee, and Tom Curran. Captain: Colin Munro, Vice-Captain: Jonny Bairstow

Fantasy Suggestion #2: Tim Seifert, Jonny Bairstow, Colin Munro, James Vince, Jimmy Neesham, Sam Curran, Mitchell Santner, Lockie Ferguson, Tom Curran, Ish Sodhi, and Chris Jordan. Captain: Jonny Bairstow, Vice-Captain: Mitchell Santner
