IND vs NZ: Predicted XIs:

India: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Axar Patel, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav

IND vs NZ: Grand Fantasy League Team 1 (If India bat first)

Firstly, we have gone with the scenario of India batting first. Here, we have picked Shubman Gill as captain of this Dream11 Grand Fantasy League team because of his incredible form. He is scoring runs in almost every game. He is good against spin and pace, and he is high on confidence at the moment.

As vice-captain, we have picked Glenn Phillips. The surface in Dubai is good for spinners, so we might see Phillips bowling a good number of overs. Then, he will be key in the chase as well.

Wicket-keeper: Tom Latham

Batters: Rohit Sharma, Kane Williamson, Shreyas Iyer, Shubman Gill, Rachin Ravindra

All-rounders: Axar Patel, Michael Bracewell, Hardik Pandya, Glenn Phillips

Bowler: William O’Rourke

Captain First-Choice: Shubman Gill || Captain Second-Choice: Devon Conway

Vice-Captain First-Choice: Glenn Phillips || Vice-captain Second-Choice: Shreyas Iyer

IND vs NZ: Grand Fantasy League Team 1 (If New Zealand bat first)

In the second scenario, we have made a team if New Zealand bat first. That means India will be chasing; that is why we have gone with Virat Kohli as the vice-captain of the Dream11 team. The IND vs NZ game will be his 300th ODI, and he would love to score big.

As captain, we have gone with Rachin Ravindra. He struck a century against Bangladesh and has great numbers in ICC ODI tournaments. His ability to play well against spin might help him score against Indian spinners.

Wicket-keeper: Devon Conway

Batters: Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Shubman Gill, Rachin Ravindra

All-rounders: Axar Patel, Michael Bracewell, Hardik Pandya, Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner

Bowlers: Kuldeep Yadav

Captain First-Choice: Rachin Ravindra || Captain Second-Choice: Devon Conway

Vice-Captain First-Choice: Virat Kohli || Vice-captain Second-Choice: Shreyas Iyer

IND vs NZ: Grand Fantasy League Team 1

Here we have made the best possible combination, irrespective of what happens at the toss. In Dubai, the spinners have played a major role, and we have gone with spin-bowling all-rounders as our main pick. Axar Patel has been picked here as captain for the IND vs NZ Dream11 team.

He bowls in a different stage of the match and is also batting up the order for India. Micheal Bracewell is coming off a Man of the Match performance against Bangladesh and can be handy against India. So, we have gone with him as vice-captain of this Dream11 team.

Wicket-keeper: Tom Latham

Batters: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Shubman Gill, Rachin Ravindra

All-rounders: Axar Patel, Michael Bracewell, Hardik Pandya, Glenn Phillips

Bowler: Matt Henry

Captain First-Choice: Axar Patel || Captain Second-Choice: Hardik Pandya

Vice-Captain First-Choice: Michael Bracewell || Vice-captain Second-Choice: Rohit Sharma
