Pitch Report
Spending more time on the pitch will help the batters readily adapt to the bouncy wicket. The new ball will have great assistance as the skidding on the surface is high.

Fantasy Picks
Captain: L Livingstone
Livingstone will get early because of the strong bowling attack of New Zealand. Livingstone will have a lot to offer with his range-hitting habit when it happens.
Vice-captain: K Williamson
The technically strong batters will step forward when the bowling becomes more arduous. It is expected that it will be one kind of game for K Williamson.
Wicketkeepers: D Conway, J Buttler
D Conway never fails to perform against a quality bowling side.
If you are following the tournament, you must know that opening batting is the most challenging job to do. But Buttler being Buttler will make things look easy.
