Fantasy11 Team NZ vs IND– Cricket Predictions Tips For Sunday’s Second T20I New Zealand vs India Eden Park, Auckland: After chasing down 204 runs in 19 overs in the first T20I of the five-match series at Eden Park in Auckland, India not only boasted their sheer dominance in the game, but also pointed out that New Zealand batters were 10 to 15 runs short.
However, the brilliance of Shreyas Iyer, who scored 58 not out off 29, can’t be ignored. The Mumbaikar made the pressure chase look easy.

Wicketkeeping: India wicketkeeper-batsman KL Rahul is undoubtedly in the form of his life. After doing the glovework behind the stumps, the right-hander played a quickfire 56 off 27 to set the tone for a big chase. He will easily drub Tim Seifert for the role.
Batting: The potential of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli makes them the undisputed kings of the Fantasy XI team. But the prowess of in-form Shreyas Iyer, Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor will also be given equal weightage.
Bowling: Ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah is definitely going to make it to the final XI. However, looking at the way other fast bowlers were butchered in the first T20I, Navdeep Saini may join Bumrah into the attack. Meanwhile, Ish Sodhi and Yuzvendra Chahal will spin the web around the batsmen.
All-Rounder: Shivam Dube will fill the place of all-rounder.
