New Zealand vs India 2020: 1st T20I, Auckland – Dream 11, Fantasy League Tips

First of all, it is crucial to select a team which has players who will surely play in the game. As they say in cricket, you don’t score any runs in the dressing room.

Similarly, a player who is not playing cannot score points for you. In fact, Dream 11 has brought a change in its rule by which you can alter your team even after the toss. Thus, you can pick your team according to the playing XI of both sides.

Secondly, it is pivotal to pick the right combination of captain and vice-captain. A captain gets twice the points whereas the deputy of the team will 1.5 times the points. Thus, it is imperative to select the big in-form players as your respective captain and vice-captain.

Injury News –

No complaints from either team camp. All the players are fit and raring to go.

Pitch Report:

The Eden Park wicket is known to produce a good bounce and carry which should be useful for stroke players, as the ball will come on to the bat. Considering the dimensions of the ground, batting second will be a good idea.
