What are the Top Picks, players for Dream11, My11circle and MPL for IND vs NZ, 3rd ODI?

Everything Shubman Gill touches into Gold at the moment. He hasn’t shown any weakness in his batting which makes him a first-choice opener. In 2 matches in this series, he has notched 248 runs at a strike rate of 122.77.

Top Pick – All-Rounder

Michael Bracewell adjusts his game style according to the conditions and he is the man New Zealand must look after in the longer run. He brings depth to the batting and handy spinner as well. He has added 162 runs in this series at a strike rate of 150.

Top Pick – Bowler

Mohammed Siraj is the highest-ranked Indian bowler in the ICC ODI Rankings and occupies 3rd spot with 685 points. With his raw pace, he can trouble any batter in the World. He has 5 wickets to his name in this series.

Top Pick – Wicketkeeper

Tom Latham who had an excellent record against India coming into the series struggled to get going in the last 2 matches and managed to score 25 runs. He is expected to score big runs in this match.

X-Factor:

Rohit Sharma on his day is always a threat to the opposition bowlers. He counter-attacked the New Zealand bowlers in the 2nd ODI and scored 51 runs which included 7 fours and 2 sixes.

Pre-Match Analysis:

It was a perfect dress rehearsal for team India to the World Cup as they wrapped up yet another ODI series win on their home soil. Full marks for their bowlers who bowled with high intensity in the 2nd ODI to bowl out the Kiwis for paltry 108 runs. They took some great reflex catches in the close cordon which was the main highlight. Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj were lethal with the new ball and hardly bowled bad deliveries. Virat Kohli was once again got dismissed by Mitchell Santner in this series. Shubman Gill looked in fine nick and remained not out on 40* runs. They are already leading the series 2-0 and are likely to make subtle changes to test their bench strength.

New Zealand were clueless against the formidable Indian bowling attack and lost the 2nd ODI by 8 wickets. The top 5 batters made their way to the pavilion with single-digit scores and later somehow managed to get past the 100 run-mark with useful contributions from Glenn Phillips, Michael Bracewell, and Mitchell Santner. They lack wicket-taking bowler upfront which was seen once again in the 2nd ODI. They are missing a trick in every department of the game in this series in the absence of their key players Kane Williamson and Tim Southee. Their wait to win the ODI series on Indian soil has been extended for some more years. All-rounders Michael Bracewell and Mitchell Santner have justified their roles and others need to get inspired if they want to avoid the whitewash.
